Yesses and Nos

The story of Mary and Martha isn’t a personality quiz; it’s a priorities check. This sermon names the spiritual art of offering a true yes(which always includes a no), the courage to choose people over perfection, and how Jesus reorders our holiday hustle toward the “one thing” that won’t be taken …

The Hope of Christmas

Advent hope isn’t passive nostalgia; it’s path-building. Mark opens not with a manger but with John in the wilderness, calling us to prepare the way. This sermon uses a four-step trail-building guide (mark the route, clear the small stuff, reinforce weak spots, post signs) to name our Advent work—t…

Hope Don't Lie

Advent begins with Jeremiah’s promise to exiles: God will raise a righteous branch who brings justice and righteousness. This sermon contrasts airport-style optimism (“maybe 20 more minutes…”) with true hope—honest about the dark, stubbornly communal, and aimed at justice. With stories of labor, or…

What's a Mob to a King?

On Christ the King Sunday we don’t get a triumphant coronation—we get Jesus before Pilate. This sermon contrasts Pilate’s grasping for control with Jesus’ letting go, and asks what it would look like to loosen our grip on power, nostalgia, and image to receive the kingdom Jesus embodies. This is a …

What do you have to give?

Joseph has no money and no freedom—yet he still practices stewardship. In prison he offers what he does have: attention, energy, and a God-given gift for interpreting dreams. This sermon widens stewardship beyond dollars to “everything on the table,” with a nod to Apollo 13 and the holy work of usi…

What would you die for?

If our passion is mostly about protecting comfort, control, or the way we’ve always done it, we’ll end up guarding doilies while sending kids back into the streets. But if our passion is the common good—the house of prayer that welcomes and restores—then some plaques may get scratched, some tables …

Don't Stop Believing

We often reduce belief to intellectual agreement: collect information, decide yes/no, done. Christians sometimes reinforce that with a single “decision moment” that proves faith forever. Decision matters—but John 3:16 lives inside a story: Nicodemus sneaks out at night to find Jesus. He already bel…

Inclusive Faith

Post-exile neighbors show up ready to help rebuild the temple—“Let us build with you”—but are shut out. Isaiah answers with God’s counter-vision: a house of prayer for all peoples. There's a difference between tolerating people and truly including them—moving from “everyone’s welcome” to “we built …

Opening Hearts and Doors

Jesus, Mark 9, corrects the disciples’ gatekeeping—“Whoever isn’t against us is for us”—and calls us to become teammates in the kingdom rather than competitors. On World Communion Sunday we remember the global table, tell the story of the “man with the golden arm,” and practice being a church that …

Find One Thing to Love

The “dishonest manager” in Luke 16 might be Jesus’ trickiest parable. Rather than praising corruption, Jesus spotlights one redeeming quality—shrewd creativity—and invites his disciples to learn how to love even “unlovable” people. A sermon about love in real life: parking-lot scammers, childhood b…
