It’s an old question: is it more important to maintain purity – to preserve something important – or to exercise compassion? Or rather, what are the things that you and I will preserve rather than extend help? Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the thirteenth chapter of Luke (Luke 13:10-17). It’s a familiar story. Jesus […]
August 18, 2019Tenth Sunday after PentecostLuke 12:49-56 by Eric Anderson When I was in high school, I made a shield volcano. It was an independent study project, but I got a lot of help with it. Somebody cut down a sheet of plywood to a more manageable size for me. Somebody drilled a hole in […]

Mahalo nui loa for all the gifts of rubber slippers so far; these will be provided to local schools as replacements for shoes lost or damaged by their students. We will continue to collect them through the end of August. Please bring them with you to worship or to the church office.

Did Jesus come to unite? No, he said. He came to divide. Division is an activity human beings know well. Here’s a transcript: The Revised Common Lectionary is still in the twelfth chapter of Luke (Luke 12:49-56), and that has me thinking about division, for this is one of the places in the gospels – […]
August 11, 2019Ninth Sunday after PentecostIsaiah 1:10-20, Luke 12:32-40 by Eric Anderson The sun had lost its heart. It didn’t quite know how it had lost it, but search as it would, it could not find it. It looked in the deep part of its core, which seemed like where it ought to be; it […]
August 7, 2019 What do we do when someone says, “it hurts”? Of late, and over my lifetime, I think I’ve seen four basic responses. The first is to say, “I’m sorry. I won’t do this thing that hurts you any more. I might even help you repair the harm I’ve done.” A second is […]
Jesus urged his listeners to be alert for the coming of the “Son of Man.” How did nobody realize that he was right there in front of them? Here’s a transcript: My apologies for the background noises today. We’re having some paint work done at Church of the Holy Cross, and it comes with some […]
