We want to see Jesus

Sermon for March 22, 2015 (Fifth Sunday in Lent)
Rev. Amy Welin: Late last week, my son noticed that as the snow melted, the remnant of the lawn beneath it looked dead. He did not believe me when I suggested that all the snow was nature’s fertilizer. He could see the wilted, yellowed grass. Really, mom, it looks dead. If the small glacier on our front yard ever melts completely, I trust that the lawn will return to something green and living. That is the pattern of creation. Some gospels are easier to work with than others. Did you notice the disconnect between the inquiry of the Greeks and Jesus’ response in today’s gospel passage? Part of me hopes that the editor left out a couple of sentences. Sir we want to see Jesus. On most Sundays, we also might be ready to say that along with the Greeks. We want help. We want to be healed. We long for the presence of God. Is Jesus at home? We need to see him. Read More  Listen to this sermon Read more • Leer más → “We want to see Jesus”

Den gracias al Señor, porque es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia

La Rev. Amy Welin (4 Cuaresma):
Digame: ¿Qué día está hoy en el calendario de iglesia? [El cuarto domingo de Cuaresma es el domingo del júbilo, o en Ingleterra es el día para visitar la iglesia en donde uno fue bautizado: el día celebramos un aligeramiento de la carga cuaresmal porque estamos más cercano a Pascua.] Nuestras lecturas no son las más favorables a un día de primavera en que queremos levantar nuestro humor triste del invierno más cercano a alegría. Nuestras lecturas se llenan de las serpientes, de las referencias a la muerte, y de oscuridad. (Me pregunto: Quién eligió estas lecturas?)

Sermon for March 15, 2015 (Fourth Sunday in Lent)

Sermon for March 15, 2015 (Fourth Sunday in Lent)
Mr. Stephen Nagy, Seminarian (4 Lent): John 3:16 is one of the most famous verses in Scripture. Quoted across pop culture from the rapper Wyclef Jean to the wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin, from the fastfood chain In-N-Out Burger to quarterback Tim Tebow. You can probably find it up on more billboards than all the personal injury lawyers strung together. And for good reason, for it could be called the Gospel in a soundbite:
    "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life." (John 3:16)
