The Exchange
There is a story in the Old Testament that some of you may remember from Sunday School when you were younger. It’s one of those stories we can miss the point on rather easily because we are so far removed from its context. It becomes difficult to relate to just what is happening and why…
Under The Cover of Darkness
It happens more often then you would think, but less often then most pastors would like: Someone comes up to you and says: “I want to read the bible. Where’s a good place to start?” Most often, at least for me, when someone asks that question, I direct them to the gospel of John. I…
Day Drinking
Human beings are creatures of habit. It’s cliche but no less true. Another word for habit is ritual, so it is, that we are creatures of ritual. We have a certain way of doing things, of moving in the world that, if we skip, we feel out of sorts, like something is wrong that we…
It’s Complicated: Faith and the in-between
We have a lot of preachers in my family. Each of them is amazing in their own right. In my opinion though, the best of the best is my wife, Bri. Most of the time I use this website for my own work but this week my brilliant wife wrote a fantastic sermons that needs…
Breaking Through
About a year after Bri and I were married I started having a tremendous pain in my right lower back. It was horrible and it just kept getting worse. And no, that is not a veiled references to Bri being a pain in my backside. It was real. We prayed. We tried massage. And we…

Fruitful or Firewood?
The 19th and 20th centuries saw the most rapid technological growth in the history of the world. We went from horse and buggy to walking on the moon in less than 100 years. The vast majority of these advances came in the latter half of the 20th century bringing computers from machines that took up…
Truth & Action
Doubt. In a lot of Christian circles, “doubt” is a four letter word. People are taught and encouraged to be certain of their faith, of the existence of God, of the future destiny of both those who believe and those who don’t. There are traditions within Christianity that do not look too kindly on questions.…
“Ghost Stories & Fish Tales”
I am a grown human being. I have traveled abroad. I have studied and been trained and highly educated. I know. I KNOW. There is no such thing as vampires, zombies, werewolves, or boogey-monsters. (Alien abductions will be covered in a different sermon.) Yet, this week, at around 6:30 one morning, I heard a slight…
