Sermon Audio 7/14/2013

Lutheran Church of the Savior, Kalamazoo

Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, Lectionary Year C

Luke 10:25-37

Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan is one of the most famous and instructive stories in all of scripture or Christian history. The lawyer's question, "And who is my neighbor?" really sticks with me, because it mirrors my own impulse for self-justification.

Sermon Audio 6/30/2013

Lutheran Church of the Savior, Kalamazoo

Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, Lectionary Year C

Galatians 5:1, 13-25

Fornication! Circumcision! Castration, even! Keeping it lively this week, that's for sure. This sermon is indebted to the sermon I preached three years ago on this same lectionary date, but that sermon was at the Benson High School All-School Reunion in my hometown in Minnesota. It's far from the same sermon, but they share a spirit and a framework, and a couple of references. And since that sermon three years ago was pretty awesome, I feel good about this one as well.
