Love breaks down the market forces that turn everything and everyone into a commodity. By love we adopt one another into our families, into our hearts. We invest without concern for return on investment, so that when love’s dividends are finally paid we are glad to immediately give them away, reinvesting them in one another.

Sermon: Sunday, July 2, 2017: Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
What would happen in your life, in our life together, if we acted “as if” we were already free of the forces that oppress us, of the stories that overwrite us with a vision for our lives that is not our own?
Sermon: Sunday, June 18, 2017: 2nd Sunday after Pentecost
We can boast in our sufferings because we know that what we can share with one another has the power to build us up instead of tear us down.
