This is a sermon preached on the occasion of Amelia Lam's baptism. It is a sermon about Jesus in John's Gospel - Jesus who became all the things the People of Israel were waiting for: the Messiah, the Word of God, Food and Drink, a Great Party. We are called as Christians to embrace God working in our lives and in the world, not wait for when God might one day appear...

This is one of the few gospel parables where there is no "good guy:" Jesus is describing the shrewd and corrupt ways the our world trades and deals with itself. Many of these deals involve the ideology of "I'll be gone, you'll be gone:" by the time the dust settles and everyone realizes our corruption and greed. What does it mean to live in a world where the "real world" is filled with so many naive and corrupt illusions and fantasies, and the "Kingdom of God" see the world as it is and as it should be, yet is ironically dismissed as a naive fantasy?

In response to Holy Cross Day on Saturday, this is a sermon about the stories of the world, and the story of God. 

After a brief discussion about Paul's Letter to Philemon, this is a sermon about our parish theology of stewardship, and how similar our challenges are to family conversations and challenges with money. 

In this sermon from the 15th Sunday after Pentecost, Rev. Nancy explains how in the Gospel reading Jesus is not handing out rules of etiquette but rather a lesson about humility.
