It's strange to many people that the horrific death by #crucifixion of #Jesus is so important to #Christian belief. Here are some of my thoughts on this, in a #sermon for Palm/Passion Sunday in 2019. It's based on the #lectionary texts for this coming Sunday

The manuscript for today’s #sermon, “Weep and Wonder,” is on my blog. https://jeffsjottings.wordpress.com/2025/04/06/weep-and-wonder/
In this sermon, I look at how leaning into our big, scary emotions (like grief) and cultivating emotions (like gratitude, generosity, and awe) can help us build for the emotional and spiritual fires we face these days.
A #sermon in which the theft of Judas is compared to the extractive nature of the pursuit of “efficiency,” complete a nod the absurdity of DOGE. We are called not to seek efficiency but to community. It also directly contradicts those who would warp the reading to ignore the plight of the poor.

The manuscript for today’s #sermon, “Water and Wine,” is on my blog. https://jeffsjottings.wordpress.com/2025/03/30/water-and-wine/
In this sermon, water represents the basics we need to survive and wine represents the things we need to thrive, and I say that pursuing both is a way we can “build for the fire.”
It took a little longer than usual, but the manuscript for Sunday’s #sermon is finally up on my blog. https://jeffsjottings.wordpress.com/2025/03/26/wake-up-and-wrap-up/
In this sermon, I look at four spiritual practices that can help us build ourselves and our communities for the fires in life: sleep, preparing for the day with prayer, waking up to the injustices around us, and wrapping up the day with gratitude.

The manuscript for today’s #sermon, “Fill My Days with Meaning,” is on my blog. https://jeffsjottings.wordpress.com/2025/02/09/fill-my-days-with-meaning/
In this sermon, I look at how the story of the miraculous catch of fish told in Luke 5 is a demonstration of the sabbath economics of Jesus, an economy of sufficiency for all based on sharing, which is very different from society’s economy based on colonial extraction, consumption, and scarcity.
