Sermons on Luke
Stewardship
Is it a miracle or is it sharing? The community came together an no one went hungry. The sharing is the miracle. The steward must use the resources as God wishes, not as they themselves may wish.
Whose Glory?
What you have doesn’t make you worthy, even each breath you take is a gift from God. Our accomplishments aren’t bad, but it isn’t about us.
It is Good to Be Seen
Jesus calls us to see those who aren’t seen by community. What child of God have we not responded to today? How can we welcome them and, in the process, make ourselves whole?
With What Do we Fill our Barns?
God has provided us with what we need. Rather than looking for more stuff, we should fill our lives with God, not self.
Jesus is Risen From the Dead
We should spend less time talking about the resurrection and more time being the resurrection. Do you want to live?
Palm Sunday
Like those who celebrated Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem. We find ourselves in the middle, but God will lead us.
When we are Lost … When we are Found
We can become so lost we don’t recognize the path back. Sin is a disturbance between us and God, but remember you are a beloved child of God. God will always celebrate when we are found, let us join in that celebration.
Faithful or Faithless
Martha was the good servant, doing what was needed. Mary sat and listened. Sitting with the word of God is important, too. What matters is not what we do, but how/why we do it.
Stranger or neighbor
How do we recognize that everyone in our community is our neighbor? Everyone deserves our love. Everyone receives God’s love.
With All Your Heart, Love
If we don’t transform hate, we will transmit it. Human beings are not the enemy. The enemy is the violence and injustice inside us all.
