    Dec 17 2024

    In this sermon we continue to look at John the Baptist, why he calls them a brood of vipers, what fire and pruning mean in terms of reordering our lives, what it all has to do with joy (and the opposite of joy), and why this is good news.

    Dec 10 2024

    In this sermon we look at the person of the John the Baptist, the quintessential voice of Advent calling us to prepare for the Lord’s arrival. We consider, with a little help from Beetlejuice and Van Gogh, what it means that John calls us into the wilderness away from the centers of power in the Roman world and what that has to do with pruning and fruit-bearing.

  • 12.01.24 • Carry the Light of Disruption • Luke 21:25-36
    Dec 3 2024

    In this sermon we look at the gospel reading for the first Sunday of Advent, focusing on how God in Christ moves to disrupt the broken creation. We talk about how some of the symbols of Christmas (like trees and lights and gifts) should remind us of this, that Christmas is not about sentimentality, and that we are called to follow the one who carries the light and to carry it ourselves (thanks Cormac McCarthy).
