    Father Dave’s sermon on the Road to Emmaus and an encouragement for those who are searching for God, and are still searching.

    I’ve had some pretty intense pastoral encounters this past week. I think that’s the right term - ‘pastoral encounters’?

    All of us get "heartburn" feelings over the questions "What is our world coming to?" and "What do I do with my life?". The risen Lord gives us better answers than we are able to develop on our own.

    "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road?" Every now and then, when you’re tired, or you’ve worked too hard, or there’s been a lot of stress ... every now and then, do you get a strange, tight feeling in the chest?

    It is so common, it is so known, that we forget about the transformational power of the story of Christ. It is a sermon of allowing the story to burn again.
