August 30th, 2026 Sermon -- Reflections on Matthew 16:21-28 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For this week's sermon I reflect on Matthew 16:21-28. We continue right from last week's reading. When we "take up the cross," it is important for us to think about what that means. It means more than we might expect, than we might anticipate. What is the cost of discipleship?
August 23rd, 2026 Sermon -- Reflections on Matthew 16:13-20 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we will be looking at Matthew 16:13-20 in which Jesus wants to know what the people are saying about him. Who do the people think Jesus is? Who do the disciples think Jesus is? Who do you think Jesus is? If we agree with Peter, that Jesus is the Messiah, are we living in a way that reflect that? If we don't agree then who is Jesus to us?
August 16th, 2026 Sermon -- Reflections on Matthew 15:21-28 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode I look at Matthew 15:21-28 also known as "Jesus and the Canaanite Woman." When you read the scripture you will notice that Jesus uses some language that seems uncharacteristic for him. This has perplexed scholars throughout the ages. Because the language can get in the way, I spend the first part of the sermon unpacking that. After that we'll focus on the message that healing offers us as we think about who belongs in the Kingdom of God!
August 9th, 2026 Sermon -- Reflections on Matthew 14:22-33 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the next few weeks I am going to be looking at some readings from the Gospel of Matthew that coordinate with the Revised Common Lectionary for the month of August. This week I will be looking at Matthew 14:22-33. This is the account of Jesus walking on the water and Peter's attempt to walk on water, which starts out well and gets bad. What does this account have to say to us today, especially as it relates to feelings of fear and trust in in our lives?
July 26th, 2026 Sermon -- History of Hymns, Part VI: "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We wrap up this series by looking at a hymn where it was another pastor who inspired the writer (also a pastor) to write the hymn. Reading Ephesians 6:10-18 would make for good preparation!
