Sermons
A sermon is a talk. It is a conversation between God and the preacher, the preacher and him/herself, and the preacher and the listener. It is a beautiful, delightful dance of truth, memory, and possibility. Like a dance, a conversation can meander around the room gracefully, all the while leading you to end up right where you started - with a hopeful prayer.

Have You Looked into the Water? (Ephesians 1)
This sermon from Ephesians 1:3-14 explores identity, grace, and transformation using the allegory of “The Ugly Duckling.” We often struggle with feelings of inadequacy and misunderstanding, but the Scripture reminds us that our true identity is found by looking in the waters of our baptism. We are beloved children of God, blessed, chosen, adopted, redeemed, and marked with the Holy Spirit.
Creation, part 1 (Genesis 1 and 2)
The Scriptures are most preoccupied with not how (science) or when (history), but who and why. Who are you, O Creator, and who am I? Why am I here? The meaning of Genesis 1 is life-giving and powerful, it tells of a magnificent Creator who knows us.
