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.

We will examine and consider First Corinthians, chapter 13. You likely know it, or have at least heard it, as it is very popular, especially at weddings.

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.

This coming Sunday is Easter Sunday. Join me to celebrate Spring and to grapple with the story of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
