    Trinity Sunday 2017 That Pesky Catholic “Et” A wise theologian once taught me that the distinctive character of Catholic teaching is what he called the “pesky Catholic ‘et’.” That’s the word “and” in English, “y” en Español, “und” auf deutsch.

     | 3,573 views

    This sermon focuses on the Majesty of God and how believers experience their sense of identity in the context of God's majesty and through their belief in Jesus Christ.

    We have been spending time in the Psalms this summer and since the summer is ending, we are also winding the Psalms down to an end. Last week we looked Psalm 90; the whole idea of the brevity of life. I have to admit it was probably a little bit of a downer to talk about the shortness of life. ...read more

    God doesn't work through the best and the brightest. He doesn't work through human wisdom or ability. instead, he works through a surprisingly unqualified group of people--people like you and me.

    If you're like me, a lot of you guys still have some playground memories from when you were on recess in elementary school. Do you remember how you would choose up teams for pick up baseball or basketball games. Generally, two of the "cooler dudes" on the playground would somehow ...read more

     | 445 views

    Looking at the example of Peter and his denial of Jesus, this sermon's ultimate message is that God has long since already forgiven us of our mistakes, so now it's time that we forgive ourselves.

    When I was conversing with colleagues earlier this week about the theme of today’s service, I was reminded of an idiom that we have in the English language: for something to be a “Persian flaw”. Have any of you heard this idiom before? Right… okay. A couple of you. It’s one that isn’t as common ...read more
