Epiphany
May we all work and dream and love as passionately as she did, and may we all live for something bigger than ourselves. Amen.
Epiphany
All temptation comes from a refusal or inability to believe in your identity as beloved children of God, about choosing something less than God.
Epiphany
We pray that God will make in *all of us* new and contrite hearts, to help us see our own sin and lead us toward a life marked by the love of God.
Epiphany
We need only put God’s unending love for us and our love for God and for our neighbors on a lampstand, and let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Epiphany
We, as followers of Jesus, land here in these texts, in the Beatitudes, in 1 Corinthians, and in Micah: Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with God.
Epiphany
Love can feel like foolishness to anyone who sees those with power, money, and weapons dominating those without, but this love is the power of God.
Epiphany
As people of the Epiphany, we follow the one who was named Beloved from heaven, because we too find our identity in that love which calls us to love.
Sermons
When we let go of power and control, when we love our neighbor as ourselves, we end up like the wise men, overwhelmed with unspeakable joy.
Epiphany
We get to worship God, the transcendent, and we get to build God’s kingdom on earth, the immanent, because God came to this world on Christmas.
Epiphany
God, at Christmas, tells us that there will never again be a “for” that is not based on a fundamental, unalterable, everlasting, unswerving “with.”
Epiphany
This is the season of joy because of an act of love so radical and unbelievable, a love that can and will transform everything.
