A Microcosmic Miracle

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/06/15

The Gospel of Mark is often called the most dramatic, and this Sunday's flabbergasting episode is no exception. Among a big crowd in a small house in a modest village, Jesus performs not one but two miracles. It would have blown the roof off the place if four audacious guys hadn't already razed it to lower their friend - a crazy story! What we find, though, is more than just a remarkable story. This scene presents a claim to an eternal throne, lights the spark that would lead to Jesus's murder, and

Surprised by Wonder

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/06/08

I suppose wonder always takes you by surprise. Wonder, being the sort of experience that takes your breath away. It is rational, in that you take it in and process it; but it is more than rational, in that it is emotional and beyond your understanding. It is a mixture of fear, curiosity, and delight—kind of like joy on steroids. It challenges your categories and forces you to ask questions. Often you feel humbled because it feels too vast for your present understanding. It is uncontrollable and yet

The Inefficient Mission

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/06/01

I'm typing this on a keyboard that can blast opinions to the world with reckless abandon in an instant. With this keyboard I can hide behind a virtuous front and say all the right things about conflicts around the globe. But on this keyboard and online, I'm disembodied, excarnational, placeless, and all my good will is scattered to the four winds with no real effect.In the internet age, it's pretty common for people to have opinions on things far away that they believe are virtuous. In our culture

Waiting on God's Promises

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/05/25

Only a couple centuries ago, it would take 7 weeks to cross the Atlantic. Now it takes 7 hours. And yet, we're mad if our plane is delayed 20 minutes. Your plane could get delayed 45 days, and you'd still be faster than our recent ancestors! On average, Americans will wait:- 32 minutes for a doctor's appointment- 28 minutes in the security line at the airport- 21 minutes for their wife to get ready- 13 hours a year on hold for customer service We don't like to wait. It feels like a waste, an

Ordinary People

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/05/18

The word “ordinary,” if it is used at all, usually seems to be used in the pejorative, implying something negative. I bring this up because in our Godspeed series this word seems to resurface often. We referred to “Three miles an hour” as the speed at which God works, and it would seem to be a little below average. “Ordinary means of grace”—isn’t that a little pedestrian? And now, “Ordinary people”. It might seem to some that we are trying to set the bar exceedingly low. Who wants anything that is

Ordinary Means of Grace

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/05/11

Many of you know I am taking this summer as a sabbatical, in large part to make significant progress on my doctoral dissertation. Maybe you even know that the focus of my work is on C.S. Lewis. What you might be wondering is how all this ties directly to my ministry with St. Patrick. Well, to put it simply, what I love about Lewis is what I love about St. Patrick. If you’ve never dug deeper into Lewis’ thought and writing than his children’s stories and popular theology, you might be surprised to

Three Miles an Hour

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/05/04

I have to admit, I am obsessed with speed. I time how fast I can walk, in an attempt to get back to my pre-knee replacement speed. I always time myself. I just bought a new side-by-side, and on the first test run, it would only go 12 miles an hour. I was devastated. I kicked the tires, called it bad names, and then called the dealer to come pick it up. Then I read in the owner’s manual—of course, going too fast to bother with that—that the seat belt had to be fastened before it would go any faster

Disrupting Expectations

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/04/27

As we enter a new series this week, we’re going to consider what it means to slow down a bit, to Godspeed. In our zeal for the Kingdom, we often run ahead of the gentle pace of Jesus, or else, we resign to sit the bench and pout. But life with Jesus is a lot like taking a walk with a child. It’s taking the scenic route, with a lot of maddening side quests to consider the lilies. When I was first beginning in full time ministry, I found myself partnered with a very charismatic and thoughtful pastor

People of the Resurrection

St. Patrick Presbyterian Church, EPC ·

2025/04/20

A great weekend is before us! Whether you are Christian or not, it is incredibly human to mark days that are significant to us. We celebrate days that are monumental to us, both as individuals and as communities (large and small). Often the celebrations are about people and events that are dear to us like birthdays, anniversaries or deaths. They are reminders of how important these people are to us. Sometimes we set aside days to remember what story we are in: Israel had seven such times of the year

Strangers and Sojourners

2025/04/13

Tonight, my wife closes her production of Shakespeare’s, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at Westminster Academy. It’s been a whirlwind of late nights, spilled paint, and teen tears, to produce a couple of hours of magic that will be almost completely erased by the time we worship together on Sunday. In some ways, it feels like an extravagant waste! All those hours and all that effort for something that happens so gloriously yet so briefly before it vanishes. There are traces and artifacts that litter
