In this sermon, we are invited into the quiet urgency of choosing the one thing necessary. Drawing from Luke 10:38–42, the story of Mary and Martha, this message explores the tension between holy activity and holy attention. Through reflections on Amos, Psalm 15, and Colossians 1, and with wisdom from the Desert Fathers, the sermon gently warns of the danger of missing Christ’s presence, even in the midst of ministry. We are reminded that true discipleship begins not in doing, but in being with the One who holds all things together.

This sermon on Luke 10:1–11, 16–20, explores the missional call of Jesus to a life that is bold, vulnerable, and grounded in peace. Drawing from both Scripture and the words of civil rights leader Vernon Jordan, he reflects on the cosmic consequences of faithful discipleship and the power of God's people to cast down the forces of evil through love, justice, and embodied witness. This sermon reminds us that while the mission may be costly and the opposition fierce, we have been here before - and we know the way forward. The way of Christ still leads us into shared purpose, community, and hope.

This sermon invites us into the long, faithful work of following Christ after the fire of Pentecost and the mystery of Trinity Sunday. Preaching from Luke 8:26–39, it explores Jesus’ encounter with the Gerasene demoniac as a revelation of how the Triune God crosses boundaries to restore, heal, and send. With pastoral clarity and prophetic urgency, the sermon calls the Church to become a community that names injustice, restores dignity, and lives the Gospel in the everyday rhythms of discipleship.
