Get Out! (4/16/17)
Qi He, The Risen Christ Appears
I borrowed the title of my Easter sermon from the comedy/horror movie Get Out. That might seem like an odd choice for an Easter message, but maybe not. Please read on to find the connection.

A New Family
A New Family (4/14/17)
Robert R. Thurman, Crucifixion
This year I had the opportunity to participate in a "Seven Last Words" service on Good Friday. The service of worship was conducted by pastors of the Belle Vernon Area Ministerium. The service ran from noon to 3:00 PM. I Preached on John 19:25-27.
A New Commandment?
A New Commandment? (4/13/17)
Window in Christ Church, Kortal, Germany: Footwashing
I love the intimacy of the Maundy Thursday worship service. There is something qualitatively different about sitting around a table (or three) for worship, rather than gathering in the sanctuary.

Wilhelm Morgner, Entry of Christ into Jerusalem
Palm Sunday presents an interesting
choice for all preachers. I can choose the liturgy of the Palms or the liturgy
of the Passion. This year, I chose both. Now I suppose I could have chosen the
Palm Sunday text—it’s shorter, so it would probably make for a shorter sermon,
too. It’s also a lot more fun. It’s got shouts of Hosanna! Who doesn’t like
that? The passion story has shouts of, “crucify!” That’s not fun at all. But
the truth is, you can’t have the palms without the passion.

Jesus MAFA, Jesus Raises Lazarus to Life
On Sunday, April 2, I preached on the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. I suppose I could have posted this sermon earlier in the week, but I decided to let it sit for four days. Like Lazarus. Follow the link to read the full text of the sermon.
