Sermons on Ethics
Self-interested leaders will frequently manufacture frightening images of an angry dangerous God to silence opposition and maintain their grip on power, but Jesus opens our eyes to these abuses and to the reality of a God of incorruptible love.

In the fact of the climate apocalypse, we hold on to our hope: hoping and working for the radical, impossible change that is necessary.
Our identity as a community of Jesus’s followers is primarily expressed in love, gratitude and hospitality, not in compliance with a negative code of conduct.
Religious ritual and ethical living are both bound up together in the journey of following Jesus into the Realm of God.
