Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Luke 12:32-34)

'‘I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight. But even the hairs of your head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.' (Luke 12:4-7)

Sermon: Reformation Sunday, October 27, 2024
'Having diagnosed the disease and described the cure, Jesus’ prescription of the remedy makes sense: Continue in my word, and thus be my disciples, and know the truth. What is discipleship? Continuing to hear and believe and growing into the word that makes us free. In the second century, St Ignatius called the Eucharist, which we receive at the Lord’s altar, ‘the medicine of immortality;’ but I think we could apply the same term to the Word of God. It is by continuing to drink of the medicine of immortality, hearing the Word and receiving the Sacrament in faith, that we are healed.'

Sermon, October 6, 2024
'A
sermon is not just theology, but it must include theology, for our theology
determines our outlook upon many things. To give an example, if we think that
Jesus of Nazareth was merely a wise man whose words give insight and
perspective into the character of God, we may decide that in some cases we know
better than he; we can take him or leave him. But if we believe with the letter
to the Hebrews that he creates with his Father and the Spirit and that he is God-become-human
to make us his brothers and sisters, then we cannot take or leave him. We may
not always fully understand his word, but we must think about it, talk about
it, wrestle with it, seek to live according to it.'

'Though we as Christians are not ‘observing a Sabbath’ when we come together in worship on the first day of the week, the day of the Lord’s resurrection, it is on this day that we remember who we are and whose we are; it is on this day that we receive the good news that God has set us free in Christ, and that the world is passing away that would reduce us to a worker bee, or a consumer, a taxpayer, a voter, something or someone to be used.'
