Christ's Upside-Down Victory
September 23rd, 2018
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 9:30-37, in which the disciples are afraid to ask Jesus questions. Christ's victory is incredibly counter-intuitive: he wins by losing and defeats death by dying.

This Ought Not To Be So
September 16th, 2018
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on James 3:1-12, in which James says that the tongue is a dangerous thing. How do we react to a world in which things aren't as they should be? We call out for a savior, who has promised that his saving work is complete.
James 3:1-12

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 7:24-37, in which Jesus heals a woman's possessed daughter. Our unworthiness is what makes us worthy of Jesus' attentions.
