Sermon for the Second Sunday in Easter

St. Aidan's Episcopal Church

John 20:19-31

This is one of my favorite Sundays because I have always loved Thomas.  I continue to learn from him and people like him.

Sermon for Christmas Eve

December 24, 2019

We had such a great crowd for this service. Preaching was a joy and in that wonderful way that sermons sometimes go, I ended up hearing things in my own sermon that I did not know I was going to say.  I love Christmas with its blurring of divine and human........

Sermon for the 12th Sunday after Pentecost

September 1, 2019

Luke 14:1,7-14

The Gospel for this Sunday worked better for St. Aidan's day than the one appointed for St. Aidan.  Aidan's island community on the Isle of Lindisfarne, provided a new look at Jesus' story about the host who invites his guest to "come up higher."  You can listen to the sermon here.  

Sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost

July 7, 2019

Luke 10:1-11, 16-20

I have long wondered what do we mean when we talk about the good news of Jesus Christ.  We all seem to mean different things when we use that familiar term.  An answer came to me as a bit of a surprise in today's gospel reading.

Sermon for the Fourth Sunday in Lent

March 31, 2019

I was hoping to get to talk about sin during Lent, but Lent really isn't about sin.  Maybe another time. What Lent is about is love that fills in when we run out of resources.  You can listen to this week's sermon here.
