Alison and the whale

Not your usual Mothers' Day sermon. (My mother would be proud.)

A guided meditation for Maundy Thursday. 

Disciples praise his deeds of power and sing of peace; yet Jesus weeps.

Why would anyone pour a years' wages into Christ?

Re-telling a tale of two brothers.

The power of Christ is seen in a mother hen: warm, vulnerable, disarming.

Jesus' resistance to the devil is grounded in knowing himself beloved.

Alone, few of us can love our enemies; but in loving community, we can do it.

Jesus invites us to walk down the mountain to a level playing field, where all may be healed.

An encounter with God means an encounter with love: and that can be truly terrifying.
