The thing is, prayer doesn't have to be perfect to be effective. In fact, a prayer muttered with all our fears and short-sighted demands — and even selfish requests — affects life powerfully.Sermon from the 8:45am service on 10/16/22.St. George's Nashville

Luke 18:1-8Prayer is like a walking exercise. It is a spiritual exercise. The more you pray daily, the stronger you become. Persistent praying in faith on a particular subject produces an eventual expected result — just like the persistent widow in the gospel reading. Prayer is simply talking to God like a child would with his parents. Pray in a si…

The question each one of us most longs to ask is “Can you see the real me?” We want to be known as we are. Simultaneously, that same question frightens us more than almost any other. Vulnerability is a risk, but depth of relationship demands it.Sermon from 8/28/22.St. George's Nashville

The strange truth about our status with God is that it is not deserved. It relies completely on his grace, his forgiveness, his healing, and his hospitality. Sermon from The Table on 8/28/22.St. George's Nashville

The passage about Jeremiah’s call to ministry is one of many narratives in the Bible known as “call stories.” If you read a sampling of them – say the call of Abraham, or Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Jonah, Isaiah, Mary, Paul (and the list goes on), you'll notice that each of these stories is incredibly unique. God tailors his call to each person. We may…

Sermon from 8/7/22.St. George's Nashville

Jesus tells a parable of a rich man whom God calls a fool. The man is a fool because he has missed the meaning of life. He is clueless as to what life is really about, wrongly thinking that life consists in the abundance of possessions. As Christians we believe that our “life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). Is this true for you? We …

If the dramatic “fireworks” of the Holy Spirit seem strange or intimidating or us, that’s understandable, but that doesn’t mean we get a pass on learning about the Holy Spirit. Sometimes the Holy Spirit’s presence work in our lives looks more like a fire that’s burning in a fireplace that grows slowly, builds over time, and burns steadily over the …
