    It’s easy to identify others as "lost causes". It’s not nearly so easy for us to see ourselves this way. Nevertheless that’s exactly where we need to be, where we’ll want to be; for empty of all our righteousness we cling to Christ and find life.

    Pentecost 3 A Matthew 9:9-13 Our God: The Patron of Lost Causes 06/09/02 Speaking of Lost Causes, take a listen to these stories. In New Orleans, a man broke into a home and stole, some jewelry and took the home owner’s season tickets to the New Orleans Saints. The police arrested him the ...read more

    Jesus was not a candidate for the most popular award in his class. No wonder they nailed him to a tree.

    Sermon for Luke 14:7-14 September 2nd 2007 Last week I mentioned one of the greatest privileges of being a pastor is the opportunity to preside over Word and Sacrament.

    A message from a series from the book of Lamentations

The reason lies in the fact that grief is a unique ...read more
