Hello Friends!
After 1 Sunday off for my birthday, I am back! Today’s portion of Matthew is a very rich text and full of great lessons. As my preaching professor taught me, you have to pick 1 (maybe 2 tops) aspect of the reading to preach on, otherwise you will end up with mixed messages. I have always taken that advice to heart, which is why my sermons are on the short side (in some people’s opinions). Anyway, what is the theme for this week?
Take a Listen:
Matthew 16:21-28
Sermon, Proper 17, Year A, Sept. 3, 2017
Thanks for stopping by!

In 9 minutes and 53 seconds, remarkable. Awesome. Was there a mass exodus for the doors, or did folks politely listen? That wasn’t ho-hum. Not a fence sitter. Not middle of the road. Definitely a “Here it is …. there are only two paths”. Keep that up and you’ll be another of those “issues”. Thanx a bunch.
