On Earth as in Heaven
Acts 16.16–34; John 17.20–end a sermon at the Eucharist on the Sunday after Ascension Day York Minster, 20 May 2007 by the Bishop of Durham, Dr N. T.

The Lord’s Prayer
Another sermon from my favorite online liberal preacher, with whom I am free to agree or disagree at some points (I disagree with his suppositions here about God). Rowland. July 29, 2007 Ah, Prayer By Harry T. Cook Luke 11: 1-13 Why do some people some of the time kneel when they pray? Ask that […]
More than one way
July 22, 2007 By Harry T. Cook Luke 10: 38-42 More mistaken and unhelpful sermons have been committed using this passage – the depiction of Jesus stopping by the Bethany home of Martha and Mary – than we might attempt to count. Most that it has been my misfortune to have heard used this text […]
Pretty Good Neighborhood
July 15, 2007 By Harry T. Cook Luke 10: 25-37 It has seemed to be one of the overriding concerns of the typical American family to want to live in a good neighborhood. What is a “good neighborhoodâ€?

Keep It To Yourself … But Follow

The Unwelcomed Guest and Woman Behaving Boldly
The Unwelcomed Guest and Woman Behaving Boldly. (A sermon on Luke 7:36-83 by Jill Friebel on 17 June 2007) I want you to take a deep breath or two, and just consciously relax your body.

The Party Crasher
June 17, 2007 The Party Crasher By Harry T. Cook Luke 7: 36-50 It would be as useless to ask if the story about the woman in the city who was a sinner is the account of an actual event as it would be to ask if Jonah was really swallowed and regurgitated by a […]
