God’s Voltas: Creating Love Within and Beyond Life’s Limitations
Today’s sermon is about how limitations can become sacred sites of liberation. Limitations may be what we are born into: a body, a family, a society, a time in history. Limitations we had no choice but to live within. Limitations may be imposed upon us by principalities and powers over which we have no control. Limitations, innate and imposed, can be both frustrating and liberating.
Called and Sent as Disciples
The followers of Jesus, the disciples, included men and women, married and single, people of different ages, fishermen and tax collectors, perhaps farmers, shepherds, and day laborers. And at least one rich man. An eclectic bunch. Perhaps you and I might find we can imagine ourselves as disciples.
Happy Pride! Stormé DeLarverie, Stonewall revolutionary
I am loved by God for all that I am created to be, without exception. In today’s gospel Jesus is saying he did not come for those who are so righteous they stand in judgement of their fellow human beings — he came for all of us who need spiritual healing, comfort, and restorative guidance — and at some point in this life that is every one of us.

What is your image of God?
I have always thought of Jesus as someone with arms outstretched. True, he was on the cross, but also, he had a welcoming embrace. Children can grow up to be adults with outstretched arms, to know suffering, but also to know that they are not alone.
