Back to School Lesson 3

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/08/25

This morning we’re going to talk about a passage from the Book of Proverbs. Proverbs is known as Wisdom Literature in the Bible. You might have the impression that Proverbs is just a sort of collection of wise sayings, kind of like the fortune cookie of the Bible. But its much more than that. This […]

Back to School Lesson 2

2024/08/18

A few weeks ago, we heard on a Sunday from RJ Roberts, the Program Director over at our partner Third Presbyterian Church in East Westwood; among other things, he told us about the Peace and Hope Lifestyle, which is their program that seeks to lead young people into a way of life that is an […]

Back to School

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/08/04

If you were here last week, you know that I made a bit of a confession—my personal Bible study habits have fallen off lately in favor of other demands. What difference does that make? Well, like most preachers, for a time I can fake my way through sermons on material I already know, but if […]

The Spiritual Practice of Studying Scripture

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/07/28

Though I can’t say exactly when it was, I know that this Bible story about the woman caught in adultery was one of the first Bible stories that really caught my attention. In this harsh world, full of imperfect people, a bunch of judgmental men drag before Jesus a person who has made a mistake. […]

The Spiritual Practice of Honoring Our Bodies

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/07/21

Over time, preachers get a sense of when we are connecting with the congregation—and when we’re not. We can tell when we’re putting you to sleep, and we also know when everyone is listening. I have to tell you I laughed to myself during a sermon several weeks ago—at a moment when I knew you […]

The Practice of Faith

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/07/07

“I never thought I’d be living this way, she says.” “Somehow I imagined that life would be simpler. She has reached forty, and she thinks she should have her life together by now, but things are just not right. Too few evenings include nourishing suppers shared with loved ones; too many are given over to […]

Caring for Creation

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/06/30

We’re in this summer series of talking about spiritual practices—everyday ways that God shows up in the world. This morning we will talk about caring for creation or environmental stewardship. I will be honest with you that, to me, those churchy phrases feel dishonest: they seem like euphemisms to try to make us feel better […]

Saying Yes and Saying No

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/06/23

This summer we’ve been talking about ways God shows up in everyday life. We’re focused on the regular things we do, mostly outside these walls and often when we’re not trying to be Christian, where God is present. Today I’m going to talk about something all of us do, daily in fact—the important practice of […]

Sabbath

Good morning. My son’s football team had a campout last night, which I signed up to attend thinking it was on a Friday…we spent last night a tent on a football field—so today felt like a good time to talk about the need for rest! I am going to talk about rest this morning—about […]

*Due to technical issues, the sermon is unavailable to stream* Happy Memorial Day weekend. This, for many of us tends to be a weekend full of celebrations: family parties, graduation open houses, first trips to the pool, and hopefully some thanksgivings along the way, through parades and prayers and other means, that remind us of […]

Staying Close to Jesus

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/05/06

For the past several weeks, without saying much about it, I’ve been preaching on the lectionary, the recommended scriptures that guide preachers and churches through the Bible every 3 years. At this time of year, most of the readings speak to the situation the disciples face in the days after Easter: How will they follow […]

Is This Story About Me?

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/04/28

Today we begin with words I admit may sound ominous, or at least confusing. Isaiah 53 reads, “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he […]

Truth & Action

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/04/21

Preachers all have some aspects of the Bible that we’re drawn to more than others. I tend to preach on stories and poetry, and it’s less common for me to pick the New Testament letters. But I am committed to “eating my vegetables” so to speak, reading all of the Bible and not always choosing […]

What I Learned in Seminary

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/04/14

There are a lot of really important things about church ministry, but the story we’re reading this morning—commonly known as the Walk to Emmaus—this story has some personal history for me that always reminds me not to take myself too seriously. I remember this story well from seminary; I remember students and professors who treated […]

Doubt as Faith

Knox Church Sermons ·

2024/04/07

This morning’s scripture lesson includes a phrase that has been the source of Christian antisemitism in many places throughout history, and deserves comment when it is read: The story says that on Easter night, the disciples have locked the doors “for fear of the Jews.” One of the things we always must be careful about […]
