Sermon: John 4:1-29

To speak of this woman as “living in sin” is not only anachronistic, but misses the full impact of this story, strips it of gospel and reduces it to a waggling finger. Her sins (the word “sin,” by the way, appears nowhere in the text) are beside the point, for all of us are sinners. Nothing makes her any different from any of the other people Jesus encounters along the road, at least not in that respect.

Sermon: Exodus 13:17-14:31

The journey is about creating an abiding relationship between God and God’s people. As counter intuitive as it might sound to our modern ears, it is a story of a people who escape involuntary bondage at the hands of the Egyptians, only to be bound again: this time to the God who has redeemed them, this time, by their choice.

Sermon: Genesis 1-10

This creation story has us living in this incredible tension. Instead of the waters of chaos being vanquished or conquered, God merely creates a place for us to live in the midst of the waters. We continue to live lives that are set in deep relationship with the waters of chaos. We live between the sky and the water, on this island of dry land.
