Reading: Mark 4:35-41; 2 Corinthians 6:1-13
Paul spends quite a bit of time in 2 Corinthians defending himself from a host of accusations made by the lovely people of Corinth. We might find his defense tactics somewhat surprising, though.

A Sanctified Soap Opera
Reading: Mark 4:26-34; 2 Corinthians 5:6-21
The lectionary will be taking us through 2 Corinthians for the next few weeks, which I'm personally looking forward to since I haven't looked much at 2 Corinthians for a while. This week we dealt with Paul's exhortation to the Corinthians to be reconciled to God and then to be ministers of that reconciliation.

All your Trinity questions answered
That title might be too optimistic. Still, I'm posting a link to a series of lessons I put together a while back for our prayer meeting to help people have a better understanding of the Trinity. The intent was to have three weeks of lessons (hence the breakdown into three parts), but I think it ended up taking six weeks, which is not nearly as appropriate for a series on the Trinity. I thought, since our last sermon dealt with the Trinity, it might be helpful to have a slightly more analytical look -- is that a good idea? -- at the topic. I think the prayer was a better way of handling it, honestly, but I suppose this also serves a purpose.

I'll post the June 14 sermon later this week.

Prayer to the Trinity
Reading: Isaiah 6:1-8; John 3:1-17; Romans 8:12-17
Preaching about the Trinity is hard, frankly. How can we do justice to one of the most profound revelations of God in one brief sermon? We can't. But we can point ourselves toward the beautiful mystery and ask God to reveal himself to us. This last Sunday was Trinity Sunday, the first time I can remember celebrating it and the first time I have tried to preach specifically on the Trinity.
