Much of the Revelation to John contains words and images of judgment and destruction – but judgment and destruction are not the goal. Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the Revelation to John, towards the end: portions of chapters 21 and 22 (Revelation 21:10, 22-22:5). Much of the book of Revelation is concerned with judgment: […]
May 19, 2019Fifth Sunday of Easter Acts 11:1-18 by Eric Anderson Not to oversell you, here, but this is one of the most important texts in the entire Bible. The story is so important the Luke, the gospel writer who also wrote the Acts of the Apostles, told it not once, not twice, but three […]
May 15, 2019 Grief has a strange property: we rarely mourn one loss at a time. Each new bereavement summons the memories of those we have suffered before. When we weep for the person who has just died, at least some of those tears fall for those who have gone in times past. With every […]
Who is “Us” and who is “Them?” It can be a very useful thing – but also a harmful barrier between groups of people. Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about “Us” and “Them.” In the eleventh chapter of Acts of the Apostles (Acts 11:1-18), Luke tells the story (three times actually in chapters ten and […]
May 12, 2019Fourth Sunday of Easter Acts 9:36-43 by Eric Anderson I’m sure you’ve received the call. You know the one: not the call to some great task with the prospect of honor and reward, not the call to a new vocation (sorry, graduates), not the call to some new deeper relationship with God. The […]
Simon Peter found himself asked to visit and offer healing to one of the disciples of Joppa. It also launched a different kind of healing. Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the ninth chapter of Acts of the Apostles (Acts 9:36-43), in which Peter gets called out to visit Tabitha, or Dorcas (both of those […]

Barnowe preaches without notes or a prepared manuscript. The audio recording is below: Listen to the Recorded Sermon Photo of the Rev. Tracy Barnowe taken at her workshop on May […]
May 1, 2019 It’s a funny thing. I write “devotional works” fairly often. I write sermons every week. I contributed to our Lenten Devotional, Open the Heart, and our Advent Devotional, An Advent of Giving. I think about things in front of a camera each week for What I’m Thinking. Then there’s the Pastor’s Corner […]
As Luke described the Apostle Paul’s conversation to Christianity, he regained his sight in two senses: both his physical sight, and his ability to perceive the new things God had done in Jesus. Here’s a transcript: We’re very blessed at Church of the Holy Cross to have a special guest to preach to us this […]
April 28, 2019Second Sunday of Easter Acts 5:27-32 by Eric Anderson Among certain circles, this text gets a lot of attention. Oh, I don’t mean the one we’ve just read. I mean these words from the 13th chapter of Romans: “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except […]
