Good Friday Sermon
Hi Friends, This is a sermon written for a specific context. However, I think you will find it meaningful in a variety of situations. I ask the question: "Why did Jesus have to die" and invite listeners to live into the liminal space between death and resurrection.

Sermon: The Art of Resistance
This is a sermon on Matthew 21:33-46, the nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost. I write my sermons to fit a particular place and location, but I know that the message for this particular community can be just as meaningful in other places and locations. Please share this episode with your friends as you build coalitions and find ways to resist the status quo in your own communities.
May the Lord continue to bless your daily work for justice.
Peace,
Rev. Julia
