"Earth Day at 50: Creation + Us"
April 26, 2020
God doesn't send sickness like COVID-19 to punish us, but that doesn't mean we can't learn something in the process, like just how connected our human lives are with the life of the entire planet. It's not an either/or, people or the planet. It's got to be a both/and way forward. We can do it. But will we? (Job 12:7-10)

"Held in Trust"
April 19, 2020
What does hope look like in a time of crisis and confinement? The Prophet Jeremiah knows a thing or two about that. (1 Peter 1:3-9; Jeremiah 32:1-15)

"Everyday Glory"
February 23, 2020: Transfiguration & Mardi Gras Sunday
The trouble isn't the glory, but our relegating glory to mountaintop experiences. Meanwhile, we come from glory, we're going to glory, and glory is God's gift for ALL God's children right now. So show it & grow it & share it everyday. (Matthew 17:1-9)

"The Fuzzy Gospel of Jesus Christ"
February 16, 2020
Sometimes the Gospel as Jesus preached it can seem awfully fuzzy. Like that bit about "love your neighbor": Who's my neighbor exactly? And what's love really look like, anyway? And forget loving my enemies... But that's because the Gospel isn't about following rules, even really good ones, but about relationship, and relationships are way, way harder. (Matthew 5:17-48, select verses)
