#Lent1 sermon in a nutshell: We aren’t tempted in times of weakness, but when we think we can be stronger than we are.

#Advent2 sermon is drafted. As usual, I’m not thrilled with it. As usual, it will speak to somebody.

This coming Sunday is #Proper12B. We’re on #TrackOne, which means we get the story of David & Bathsheba. The sermon will deal with issues of rape, sexual abuse, and men behaving badly.
I’m sending out an email to the congregation giving them a heads up.

Sermon topic for this Sunday, #3Pentecost #Proper5B — Families are weird.
#Sermonizing #EpiscopalLiturgy

Working on the #Pentecost sermon. Two points and one overall theme:
1. Speaking in tongues is about being heard;
2. God is looking to reach everyone;
Theme: #AllMeansAll

Working on the sermon for #Pentecost and am once again reminded of one of the best lines in all of Scripture: “These men are not drunk; it’s only nine o’clock in the morning.”
