Life in the Spirit - Renewed Mind

A summary of the main themes of my preaching over the past few years:

Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled

5th Sunday of Easter

John 14

Jesus consoles and challenges His disciples as they wrestle with His "going away."

Easter Sunday

Homily for Easter Sunday

"The Unleavened Bread of Sincerity and Truth"

The Christian life, nourished by the Eucharist, makes us a new batch of dough.  

Easter Vigil - Our Story Caught Up in Jesus’ Story

Celebrating the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) give us a share in Jesus' Victory.

Good Friday - the Castaway Cross

Homily from Good Friday

After moving into the neighborhood I found a busted up Crucifix in the garbage heap on the curb.  Though the Cross has been cast off by many, this means we have a unique opportunity for the meaning of the Cross to strike fresh with the same power it did in the 1st Centuries of the Church.  What if we Christians truly lived our lives modeled after what we see in Jesus?  Wouldn't people run to embrace this Cross to find life?

Holy Thursday - Jesus Washes Your Feet

Jesus humbles Himself and gives us great gifts:  the Eucharist, the Priesthood, and the example and Commandment of service.

The Passion and Kingship of Christ

From palm branches to crucifixion, Jesus's Holy Week journey.
