Where We Can Look Each Other in the Eye (Matthew 18:15-20)
Real-life virtues—the ones that help us live real lives and not just "impressive” lives among those closest to us—are the kinds of virtues necessary for us to live together in community. These soft v…

Didn’t See That Coming (Matthew 16:21-28)
In embracing the cross, Jesus’ followers can say of empire at its most blood-thirsty, “Is this the best you’ve got? God’s got an even more astonishing trick up God’s sleeve. It’s a little something w…

Hiding Behind the Truth (John 17:6–19)
My first reaction is to want Jesus to pray for it to be easy. I want him to protect me from the world by installing some kind of force field, some heat shield around me that won’t allow the slings an…

Oh, the Places You’ll Go! (John 14:1-14)
In other words, if you love one another, you’re already doing the works that I’ve done—and you won’t have to question the “way to the Father,” about whether you’re following the step-by-step directio…

The Trouble with the Folks in Charge (John 10:1-10)
In other words, the people tasked with watching over the most vulnerable of the flock have proven themselves sightless. They care more that the sheep don’t jaywalk than about the fact that the way th…

You Call this Blessed? (Matthew 21:1-11)
We heal the sick; we bind up the broken-hearted; we comfort the grieving; we pick up the downtrodden; we fight for justice … not because it makes for good strategy, but because we follow Jesus, which…

Please, Don’t Let Me Go (John 20:19-31)
“Love your neighbor as yourself," as an ethical system, does have the drawback of relying entirely on me as the reference point—which, frankly, feels like something of a flaw in the system. I mean, w…

When You Can’t Find Words (Matthew 28:1-10)
But the real question to us is, “Now that you’ve got this shiny new resurrection, what’re you going to do with it? Are you going to hang out with it, set up a shrine to it and serve lattes, thinking …

Who's in Charge around Here Anyway? (John 11:1-45)
Death too often calls the tune to which, sad to say, so many of us feel compelled to take the dance floor. But I’ve got news for you—regardless of how it looks to you at present or who you think is i…

What’s Your Problem? (John 9:1-41)
Being born blind is the definition of a pre-existing condition. But according to Jesus, it should never be a pretext for finding an excuse for why helping that person to find healing is wrong. Accord…

Making Good Choices (John 4:5-52)
He could play it safe—you know, suck up to the religious bigwigs, make friends with the influential political high-rollers. But instead, he seeks out the last, the least, and the lost—because he’s no…

Which World? (John 3:1-17)
But because God loves the world—even with all its fear and distrust, God sent Jesus not to condemn the old world, to throw it on the scrap heap. Instead, according to the translation in your pew Bibl…

Where You Gonna Turn? (Matthew 4:1-11)
In Matthew’s hands, the devil is supposed to be a clever stand-in for Caesar and his empire, who argues that all the kingdoms of the world are his to dispose of as he sees fit. So, the question posed…

When It Is Not Good for Us to Be Here (Matthew 17:1-9)
Peering into the dark valley ahead—the one Jesus has just announced—the thought of camping out on the mountaintop with the Palestinian Justice League sounds like a pretty safe place to be, doesn’t it…
