Perhaps the central tenet of the Christian faith is that if you believe in Jesus as your personal saviour, God will forgive you of your sins. This Sunday I want to consider a retelling of the story of Job that puts it the other way ‘round. Namely, that if we as humans want to believe in God, then we need to forgive…

The word “God” is, well, just a word. At least that is what I hope to convey. And words are tricky things for us humanfolk. We would do well to be more aware of how they can be used for both good and nefarious purposes. Based on a sermon I gave just about ten years ago.

During some recent volunteer work at an Episcopal Church, I saw the question “How are you using your talents?” as part of a wall display, and I was reminded of a bit from a sermon I gave in the summer of 2023. This Sunday’s service will consider the question and draw upon material from the aforementioned sermon.

September’s worship theme has been “Building Belonging”, and we’ve reached the final Sunday of the month. As a sendoff to this theme I will consider various and sundry related topics. Indeed, it shall be a bit of a hodgepodge.
