The Tolling of Time

7/23/17

A sermon based on Hebrews 2:14-15. We are children of God, both mortal and eternal. As one generation moves on another one comes forth. That's been the way of the church for centuries. We celebrate our Vacation Bible School as we remember those Saints who blazed the trail before us.

Picking the Verses We Like

7/16/17

Sermon that addresses the ongoing debate of gay ordination and marriage in the United Methodist Church. New Dover UMC, Edison New Jersey. Why do we choose to focus on a few legal passages in scripture, while ignoring others? How did Jesus view the Torah laws?

We Need to be More Light

7/9/17

Sermon based on Matthew 5:14-15. What happens when we compartmentalize our faith (keep it in a box)?

One Nation Under God

7/2/17

Reflections on 4th of July weekend. When we recite the Pledge of Allegiance we profess "One nation under God," but what does that mean? For the follower of Jesus doesn't "under God" mean that we prioritize Jesus' words at Nazareth- good news to the poor, release to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, freedom for the oppressed? If not perhaps we might more truthfully profess "One Nation over God."
