    Mission Possible

    Peter could only do the impossible as long as he focused on Jesus instead of on his surroundings.

    As sometimes happens, this sermon took a turn I had not expected once I really got into it. Not a very big one, mind you, but I would up focusing on the gospel lesson instead of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I do like, when I can, to tie the three lessons together, and these three seemed to be ...read more
