    The Scribe and the Widow

    I’m far more like the honor-seeking scribe than the self-giving widow. I’ve chased ‘long robes,’ ‘respect,’ and ‘seats of honor’ — even while pretending not to. But Jesus doesn’t praise the successful scribe; he exalts the selfless woman who gave it all.

    Too Good To Be True?

    A sermon about love two days before the national election. (But mostly it’s about Christ love because mine is so often fickle.) “Jesus’ summary of the law is the good life, but it’s not the good news. ‘All you need is love’ is my anthem until someone cuts me off or shouts their politics. But there’s One who loved even His enemies—and He loves me when I barely pull off loving my friends.”

    "The Expulsive Power of a New Affection"

    Were the disciples angry at James and John for seeking privilege, or because they hadn’t thought of it first? I suspect the latter—and I’m no different. Even when I pretend to be last, I still want to be first. I need my heart to be healed to truly love others as myself…

    Our Relief

    “For the last three weeks, the disciples have been consistently clueless—seeking a Messiah on their terms, consumed with their own greatness, and hoarding the kingdom’s power for themselves. Their bumbling is our relief. Despite their faltering, Christ’s commitment never wavers.”

    How to Be Great

    “The contrast couldn’t be clearer: Jesus lives to serve, while his disciples scramble to be served. But his cross isn’t just a model to follow—it’s the power that saves and heals the so-called ‘greatest.’”

    What 'Deny Yourself' Doesn't Mean

    ''C-3PO says, 'We’re made to suffer; it’s our lot in life.' But Jesus’ call to 'take up your cross' flips the script. We don’t 'lay down our lives' in resigned despair but in resurrection hope..."
