Mindful Leader

More of a commentary on using contemporary techniques to better communicate.  

The sermon here is more drawn from the idea of "listen for the pain" than the Acts 10: 34-43 that was read, but Peter and his carrying the Jesus story to the Gentiles does in part lead to the idea of "pain."  

The idea for this came from comments made to me from feedback in December when I lifted up some concerns over events in Ferguson, MO; Saratoga Springs, UT; West Valley, UT; Staten Island, NY, and Cleveland, NY.  The focus here was to suggest that listening to the pain being expressed was important.  

The sermon text is Mark 10: 42-45 or so.  The original objective was to talk about Millenials as in Generations but reality crept in and a different direction as taken.  

Number 1 in a six part series on "What Would Jesus Say About ..." and we will insert a topic or five.  

This one is drawn from Acts 2: 42-46.  More of a reflection on the human condition, rather than a traditional exegetical sermon.  

Our reflection from Christmas Eve -- you might think of this as borderline "the Gospel according to the Simpsons" or words to that effect. A lot of fun. Merry Christmas!

Sermon is from 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-24 and really more on the rejoice, pray and be thankful theme.  

Sermon is from 1 Cor 1: 3-9 but it really from all of the suggested readings for the day -- Isaiah 64, Psalm 80, and Mark 13 as well as the 1 Corinthians. The focus is on being active in our waiting. Do something please in the Isaiah and Psalm, and the Mark is God is going to do something and we need to be alert. Here is speaking to a church that is not behaving like the church: they are stuck in the "already" as opposed to being between the already and the not yet.

My third sermon from Ruth.  This one is more on Ruth as a character -- and about her character -- than it is about Ruth 3 per se.  

My second sermon on Ruth -- this is Ruth 2.
