The Gospel as Paradox

Sermon by Rev. Patrick Notley
March 18, 2012
1 Corinthians 1:10-31

The wisdom of the day was that one who was crucified was one who had lost all hope… so to proclaim that the good news of the Christian faith was that, through such a death, humanity would be saved was not just folly, it was scandalous!

Our Vulnerable God

March 11, 2012
Mark 8:27-38

Turning their world upside down and challenging all that they know and understand about what it means to be Messiah, Jesus has just shocked them all to the core.

With Wild Beasts

Sermon by Rev. Patrick Notley
February 26, 2012
Mark 1:9-15

In the same way that a cattle herd would drive his or her flock, getting behind them and forcefully compelling them to head in one particular direction, the Spirit of God, Mark tells us, thrusts Jesus out into the wilderness area where he would be tested for forty days.

Life on the Downslope

Sermon by Rev. Patrick Notley
February 19, 2012
2 Kings 2:1-12, Mark 9:2-9

So down the mountain we must come, like the disciples, like Elisha, like all who have come before us and who will come after us, we must come down from the pinnacle and re-engage in our lives on the downslope where our great vision and clarity meet the reality of the world.
