On Sunday we looked at the second chapter of Zephaniah, as he called Jerusalem back to repentance and then pronounced doom on the four directions around him. This passage calls us to reflect on what true greatness looks like - not in military or monetary might, but in how we treat our neighbor. -Sermon from 04/21/2024 ..read more

On Sunday we began a short new series, looking at the first chapter of the prophet Zephaniah. His opening words present a harsh message, as we see someone who is grounded in the belief that God's justice will prevail in the world. -Sermon from 04/14/2024 ..read more

This past Sunday we looked at Mark 11:1-25 and two troubling passage right in a row - the cursing of the fig tree and the cleaning of the Temple. Both of these are symbolic of Jesus' frustration with empty religion, of the crowds who are excited about the work of God only to yell "crucify" a few days later.  -Sermon from 03/24/2024 ..read more

This past Sunday we looked at Luke 12:49-56 and the teaching that Jesus did not come to bring peace but division. This puzzling text can best be understood as a description of what happens as God shows up in new places (that there is often divisions and disagreements which follow) and not a literal command. The command for us remains to stay committed to Jesus and each other as we seek out a life shaped by faith. -Sermon from 3/17/2024 ..read more

This past Sunday we looked at Luke 16:1-15 and the parable of the shrewd/dishonest manager. This is indeed a puzzling story, as Jesus commends a man for being dishonest. Jesus gives is using a shocking example to say that if a shady person knows how to plan for the future, how much more-so should we, as residents of the Kingdom of God. -Sermon from 03/10/2024 ..read more
