January 31, 2010 Jeremiah 1:4-10; Psalm 71; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Luke 4:21-30   I gotta tell you – these are strange readings this morning.  We have a calling of a prophet, a riot in the synagogue, and something about love being patient.  So, with no further adieu let’s start with Jeremiah.  I like Jeremiah.  He is one of the great prophets of the Old Testament.  He comes to preach to the people of Israel...

January 24, 2010 Nehemiah 8:1-10; Psalm 19; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a; Luke 4:14-21 I do not like putting title’s on sermons, but if I had to do it this morning, I would call this one, “So, What’s Your Story?”  This word “story” has different meanings for different people.   I will often refer to passages from the bible as “story” but that does not mean it is on the same level as Harry Potter and the...

January 17, 2010  Isaiah 62:1-5; Psalm 36; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11; John 2:1-11   The reading from John’s gospel this morning is the story of the wedding at Cana.  It is a story that appears only in John: Matthew, Mark and Luke have parables of wedding feasts, weddings banquets and wedding parties, but nothing like we see here in John.  Jesus is at a wedding.  His disciples are there.  His mom is there.  My guess...

January 10, 2010 Isaiah 43:1-7; Psalm 29; 1 Corinthians 1:26-31; Luke 3:15-17, 21-22   I like the prophets.  They tick me off, but I like them.  The prophets are those gracefully stubborn men and women of our tradition who are sent to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, relentlessly reminding us about God’s call upon our lives.  It ain’t easy being a prophet: John the Baptist was accused of being...
