February 22nd Sermon: A Lent Together.
Lent is usually talked about as a season of struggle — a time to give things up, push through discomfort, and suffer a little so we can grow closer to God. But what if that’s not the whole picture? When we read the story of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness, it’s easy to imagine him as this lone hero — standing strong against the devil with sheer willpower and determination. But what if we’re missing something? What if the real temptation wasn’t just about bread or power or proving himself? What if the deeper temptation was believing he had to go through the wilderness alone? And what if that’s our temptation too?
February 15th Sermon: A Transfiguration to Remember.
Transfiguration Sunday marks the end of Epiphany. Next week we begin our Lenten Journey with Jesus toward the Cross. It seems fitting that Jesus would leave the disciples a memory or reassurance as they begin this difficult road because we humans are indeed quick to forget. We have these vivid memories of God's presence too and if we let them, they can reassure us when all seems lost.
February 8th: A Tasty and Layered Blessing
Following Jesus's Beatitudes in Matthew, we get this text where Jesus calls the crowd the "Salt of the Earth" and the "Light of the World". Which is a good thing; they are a blessing! Salt and light are what they are because of their attributes. Salt is... Salty... Light is Bright... Similarly, the people gathered around Jesus are a blessing just because of who they are. The trick is letting those authentic gifts and attributes shine through and not letting all the extra stuff get in the way.
