Midwives & The Philadelphia Eleven
A sermon for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost, August 27, 2023, offered at the Church of the Messiah in Heflin, Alabama.
Principal text: Exodus 1:8-2:10
"In our history books, women are often relegated to the position of supporting characters, when they are remembered at all. But on this day when we recall the powerful witness to God of the defiance of Shiphrah and Puah, I hope we can also not forget the women of our more recent history, like the Philadelphia Eleven, and hear an invitation to look for the powerful women at work in our current struggle."

What would Jesus do?
A sermon offered for the 12th Sunday after Pentecost, August 20, 2023, at the Church of the Messiah in Heflin, Alabama.
Principal text: Matthew 15: (10-20), 21-28.
"So whatever it means to be Jesus, son of David, incarnate God, it means that Jesus walks on water and calms the storm on one day, and the next day that same Jesus is challenged by a Canaanite woman and has his mind changed. It is incarnationally complicated."

Signs of victory
A sermon for the Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday, April 2, 2023, offered at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Alabaster, Alabama.
"The cross is not just about forgiveness of our personal sins, though that is part of it. The cross is not about sorting out who is sufficiently righteous and faithful to be a Christian because that is none of us. The cross is a stumbling block only if we make it anything less than the awesome victory of God and the salvation of the world."

Holy Interruption
A sermon for Christmas Eve, December 24, 2022, offered at the Church of the Messiah in Heflin, Alabama.
Principal Text: Luke 2:1-20
I've only been in one Christmas Pageant in my life where I played both the Christmas Star and the Angel of the Lord. I relished my part as a holy interruptor providing crucial information for the story that was playing out below. Little did I know that I was going to give my first and best Christmas sermon when I was in second grade.

Another Christmas Story
A sermon for the 4th Sunday of Advent, December 18, 2022, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Greensboro, Alabama.
Principal text: Matthew 1:18-25
“Matthew’s Christmas, without the familiar and comfortable manger scene, reminds us that Christmas is about God coming to us and God with us. Christmas is about the beginning of the recreation of the world. It challenges us to act beyond our current understanding of righteousness and compassion. It challenges us to give up our expectations of what God should be doing.”
