The Power of Story
This Sunday (June 2) I did short homilies instead of one longer sermon. In this first sermon, I introduce the importance of story by looking at Nathan's story to David after his actions to marry Bathsheba.

The Mediator: A Parable
This is a parable meant to show Jesus' relationship to God the Father, the incarnation, the dual nature of Christ, and Jesus as the perfect mediator. Heavy topics but more accessible in story form. I hope it sparks some thoughts for you. I had recorder problems on my sermon so this story is what I could post.

Out of the Past
This is a sermon on Peter being reinstated by Jesus. I say three things- Jesus undoes Peter's past. Jesus calls Peter to a future of serving others. Finally, Jesus calls Peter to sacrifice for God. I think that God says these same things to us today. We need to hear this so badly because so many of us hang on to shame and think we are not worthy of joy in our lives.

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.
