Sermon: Saturday, December 8, 2018: The Ordination of Allison Bengfort

Could it be true for our church and its congregations? Could it be true for my life and my future? Can a thing burn and not be consumed?

Sermon: Wednesday, August 10, 2016: Proper 14

Have you ever felt like that, like God took the party somewhere else and you were left to keep working, past your capacity, past your quitting point? Like you were waiting for a sense of holiness to return to your labor, to your vocation, but with no idea when or how that might happen?
