Christmas II : What We Remember and What We Forget
If we leave it up to our brains only and not our community and our sense of something more, we seek to hold on to the past and shield ourselves from seeing our faith in a new light. More

Christmas Eve | Something Audacious, Something Radical
On Christmas Eve, the baby is in the manger. We proclaim something audacious, something radical…God has broken into the world and everything has changed. More

Telling Our Stories of Jesus
…we pick up the stories, and we re-tell them again and again. We roll them around in our mouths, good storytellers try new ways to start them, and we see what sparks an interest. More

Feels like Me. Feels Like Home. Always Has.
Being seen. It’s a powerful thing. To know that another human being has truly seen you, understood you,
received you for who you really are: That is pure grace. It is being seen. Most of us would do anything for it. More

Break Down the Dams! (And let justice roll on like a [free-flowing] river)
…Particularly as seekers, as people of faith, the danger of supporting these dams, these divisions, is creating for ourselves a finite God of our own image and our own making. By deciding who is in and who is out; who is acceptable and who is not. And oftentimes when we exclude others, we also end up excluding ourselves from God’s grace, love, and mercy….we are all responsible for breaking down the dams around us….After all, what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God.

Moving Forward: The Rich Man and Lazarus
It is an unrelenting focus on the present and the future that marks our faith. Early Christianity was called “The Way” by its adherents. It’s not “the meander.” It is not “the look backwards.” Even when we remember, as we do, every time we celebrate the Eucharist, it is to anchor our present and to guide our future. More

Blessing the Sabbath
Although we don’t often do a good job recognizing it, or valuing it in our own lives, it’s true that we all need rest. We need rest after we have performed a strenuous task, and we need rest to prepare for strenuous tasks that lie ahead. Thinking of rest as part of an essential part of a cycle of preparation, action, and recovery, is a good way to understand the Sabbath. More

Following Jesus
“The Church missed its high calling to be the new thing in the world when it decided to worship Jesus instead of following him.”

Dr. James Cone and the Urgency of the Call
James Cone, in the Cross and the Lynching Tree, and Luke in his Gospel, each drive home two key messages. Each is as provocative today as in past generations. Chris Phillips’ sermon doesn’t mince words or images in drawing parallels and getting us to think deeply about our own attitudes and beliefs in these times of grief and hope. More
