    The problem in our society is that we have become a people who focus upon the Theology of Glory—a casual in vogue religion that demands nothing and promises everything—instead of a society that lives the Theology of the Cross.

    Sermon for Matthew 10:24-39 June 22nd 2008 This past week I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with seven of our confirmation kids at Lutheran Hills. The morning hours they were stuck with me, where I was to teach them something important about our faith. But what? Where do I begin? ...read more

    The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

    In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more
