The Freedom of Self-Forgetfullness
This is a stand-alone sermon I did based on Timothy Keller's work called The Freedom of Self-Forgetfullness. This is a book/sermon that I read in the Fall that I have been thinking a lot about. It was an honor to take it and make it my own for my people. I think these are some very important ideas and I hope they really mess with you.

Jesus in the Book of Ruth
This sermon wraps up my series on the book of Ruth. It was preached for Palm Sunday. The big question that the people are asking when Jesus comes into town is- Who is this? I look at several characterstic of who Jesus reveal Himself to be on Palm Sunday. I then look back to see those same traits portrayed in the book of Ruth. Finally, I look ahead to see those traits at the crucifixion.

Lessons from the Book of Ruth
Having gone through the book of Ruth chapter by chapter, I now turn my attention to lessons from the book of Ruth. Ruth has so much depth and such great characters that there was a lot I could not talk about on the first pass through. In this sermon, I talk about grace and how grace changes everything for us.

Redeeming Ruth Part 4
The book of Ruth is so much more than a really old and beautiful love story. It is a story of survival and loyal friendship. Ultimately it asks the question--"Where is God when we are hurting?" Is God a bully, or is God a loyal friend and redeemer? Here we explore chapter 4 and the conclusion to the story.

Redeeming Ruth Part 1
For Lent I am preaching through the book of Ruth. This is so much more than a really old and beautiful love story. It is a story of survival and loyal friendship. Ultimately it asks the question--"Where is God when we are hurting?" Is God a bully, or is God a loyal friend and redeemer? This first chapter sets the stage for the book and invites us to feel the emotions and the danger of these widowed women.
