What changes?

We all change. I have heard it said that it is when we stop changing that we begin to die. I’m not entirely sure about that but it does add a bit of encouragement to be open to change.

The three texts the Lectionary has given us are all about change. They aren’t the most obvious texts addressing change but I was very interested to see how they do.

I know the Holy Spirit is always at work but sometimes the nudge into a particular topic is unmistakeable. This is one of those times. If it was up to me I might have preached on Thomas, the twin. I have preached more than once from the Gospel lesson and doubt is a good topic and this is a good text but I found myself consistently nudged in a different direction. So . . . change it is.

I hope you find value in the sermon and if you feel so inclined and able, let me know what you think.

    Inward and outward

    As I am sure the astute regular readers among you have noticed this post looks a little different. First of all, we don’t have RCL Scripture but just Scripture and second, the sermon comes from First Baptist, Regina not Knox nor St. Mark’s Presbyterian. Well, there is a simple explanation for this, I was preaching…

    Don’t worry

    Today is Remembrance Sunday. I know it is quite a few days before November 11 but I think it is important to have the Sunday devoted to Remembrance Day before the actual day rather than after. The sermon isn’t as specific to Remembrance Day as some I have preached but there are still some tie-ins,…
