And The Church Said…Mreh.

Over the weekend of June 21-22, the Virginia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church met in Richmond, which meant the pastors were out of town--and they had to go deep in the bullpen and call me up to preach.  After some computer troubles, they've posted the link to it on the church website.

It's a little bit of a challenge: I'm exploring why it is, if we have this tremendous gift of new life in Christ, that so many Christians go through life absolutely indistinguishable from anyone else--where's the joy, where's the fire, where's the excitement?

Take a listen and let me know what you think!

"You're Not From Around Here, Are You?"

This last weekend I had the opportunity to participate in the Laity Sunday service at church, and to bring the sermon at the 9:45 and 11:00 services.  Here's the sermon I preached at 11--take a listen and tell me what you think!

Canine Theology

This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to bring the message to the 8:30 service at our church, Sydenstricker UMC.  Somebody thought it would be a good idea to record it.  Silly.  Anyway, I talked about what our new dog has been teaching me about faith.  Give a listen, see what you think.
