Pastor’s Corner: UCC Associations

September 20, 2023 I hope you can indulge me in a geeky moment of United Church of Christ Polity. (Even “Polity” is a geeky word. In most organizations, they’d use the word “governance” or “organization.” But I digress.) We’re familiar with the local church, of course. We’ve heard of the denomination, and many are aware […]

What I’m Thinking: What God Can Give

Jesus told a story about wages and negotiations. What if it was about love? Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the twentieth chapter of Matthew’s Gospel (Matthew 20:1-16. It begins with one of Jesus’ stories, one which we usually call, “The Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard.” In the story, a landowner goes out […]

Sermon: Awe-full Mercy

September 17, 2023 Romans 14:1-12Matthew 18:21-35 Forgiveness is easy. We do it all the time. It happens in the grocery store. Somebody comes around the corner just a little too quickly – and let’s face it, coming around a corner from behind a shopping basket is pretty much designed to prevent a good view of […]

What I’m Thinking: Hard Forgiveness

When Jesus spoke of forgiveness, he didn’t always make things easy. At all. Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the eighteenth chapter of Matthew’s Gospel (Matthew 18:21-35). It begins when Simon Peter asked Jesus a question: how many times should I forgive somebody who has offended me? As many as seven times? That seems like […]
