Preached on March 23, 2008 at PLWC.
Reading: Psalm 18:1-20, 46; Matthew 27:62-28:10
This last Sunday was, of course, Easter, and so this year I started from that curious order Pilate gave the guards for the tomb: "Make it as secure as you know how." Just how secure can we be in the face of something like an emptying tomb?

Almost?
Preached on March 16, 2008 at PLWC.
Reading: Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29; Zechariah 9:9-13, 16; Matthew 21:1-11
This Sunday was Palm Sunday, when we celebrate Jesus' entry to Jerusalem and the beginning of Holy Week. The question for us is whether we are like those people showering him with praise on that day -- and how much should we be like them?

"Justice Is Not Blind" and "Recycling the Disposable"
"Justice Is Not Blind"
Preached on February 24, 2008 at PLWC.
Reading: Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Romans 1:18-25, 5:15-21
This is the second of our sermons dealing with the atonement, or the actions of Christ on the cross that reconciled us to God. Previously we looked at the cross through the lens of a sacrifice; this time we're looking at it from a legal standpoint. How does the death of Christ satisfy the justice of God?

"Recycling the Disposable"
Preached on March 2, 2008 at PLWC.
Reading: Genesis 3:17-19, 23; Romans 5:12-15; Philippians 2:5-11
And continuing the discussion of the atonement, for this week's sermon we talked about what is technically called recapitulation: that is, Jesus served as the new Adam, a new head for a new human race, summing up God's acts in creation.
