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.

    Not dry at all

    I love history. The two sermons makes it pretty clear I love history. There was a time when I was planning on being a professional historian, assuming that’s a real job, but things went in a different direction. I am frustrated there are so many eras in human history I know nothing about. But that’s…
