    This short talk given at a Communion service during Holy Week asks three questions: What must we reject, how must we run and where must we look?

    The New Testament scholar Raymond Brown wrote this: “Using vivid athletic imagery the author [of Hebrews] tells his readers what they must reject, how they must run and where they must look.” 1: What we must reject: “Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles” ...read more

    First in a series from Ephesians; and for the Day of Prayer for World Peace. Our lives and our world seem fragmented. But God brings order to our lives by choosing us; He redeems the messes we make; and He calls us to the work of restoration.

    Do you experience life in pieces? Do you find that each day is a jumble of bits and pieces, fragments? That most of the time there isn’t any coherence, there isn’t any consistency? Do you feel that each day is a whole lot of things to be done, but they don’t always hold together? I don’t know ...read more

    My goal is for you to become hopeless-give up hope of changing the past, give up hope of changing what others have done to us, and give up hope of changing ourselves.

    Hopeless. Have you ever felt like that? Totally without hope? You tried everything you could think of, you’re at the end of your rope, with no more solutions in sight and you wonder—am I hopeless? Now, I hope that the video and the actors didn’t make you think we’re down on counseling—we’re not. I ...read more

    What does it mean today to avoid being a pharisee? To wash ourselves with and be fountains of mercy.

    Wash Up for Dinner 14 October 2008 Tuesday of 28th week in Course This is a dangerous Gospel to read to a bunch of guys, because it sounds like Jesus didn’t learn the lesson from Mary that he should wash up for dinner.
