Thank You. (a sermon)

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 4:27 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

2013-10-13 nbw HFASS sermon 2 <—–click here to listen along. This week one of you apologetically mentioned that you have been meaning to write me a thank-you note about something – and given our Gospel reading about the grateful leper who came back and thanked Jesus, I began thinking about what a terrible thank-you note writer I am. Not for lack of trying on my mom’s part, I mean, Peggy did everything she could. And like every other kid who received... Read more

a Sermon on Faith, Doubt, and Mustard Seed Necklaces

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 4:29 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

2013-10-06 nbw hfass sermon 2 <—-click here to hear a real, live preacher. When I was a little girl, I was given a small necklace. It was a Christian necklace, see, but it held, not a little gold cross or a silver Jesus fish symbol-thing. No. Hanging from this gold chain was a small, clear, plastic orb – that contained within it a tiny round seed. You might see where this is going…it was a mustard seed. If you have faith... Read more

Sermon: Field Notes on Grace from 10 days on the Road

Last updated on: September 25, 2013 at 10:03 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

2013-09-22 NBW hfass sermon <—- click here to listen along (the laughter at HFASS is totally worth hearing) Just for the record I really did try this week while on countless airplanes and in countless hotel rooms to steal 20 minutes here and there and write a proper sermon as though I was really here in town and among you this week. I tried. And I failed. I don’t want to totally blame the lectionary on this but seriously, that is... Read more

Sermon About How Totally Uncool We Are

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 4:31 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

2013-09-01 2-1<—–Click here to listen along! I have this friend Caitlin who tends to just tell me the truth about things, which isn’t always comfortable. Caitlin and I close friends but are really different people, and years ago we were both planning our 40th birthday parties – mine was a roller disco party at a rink I rented out – and hers was a group of close friends watching the sunrise on a hill over looking the city -which made...

Sermon on the Parameters We Prefer For Jesus to Work Under

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 4:32 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

2013-08-25 NBW HFASS Sermon<—–Click here to listen along (and delight yourself with how much I botched one of the paragraphs) 🙂 I have to say, one of my very favorite things about Jesus is how he does whatever he wants to and could really give a hell about how other people feel about it. Yeah. I just find that endearing. Especially when he irritates the nice religious people. That’s secretly my favorite. In our Gospel text for today... Read more

Pastrix (limited) Book Tour!

Last updated on: August 21, 2013 at 9:26 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

Hello friends! 20 days until my book, Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint, comes out and I take off for book events in a few cities. I’m excited to share this book – a theological memoir about my life and faith and that of others who God has put in my path. That is to say, it is theology done in the first person; an imperfect confession of faith by an imperfect person of faith. My... Read more

Free: Spending Your Money and Time on What Matters Most

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 4:33 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

Some folks in my church have begun a conversation about how to best support each other in reducing debt and spending less so that we can free up more money to give away. It’s a weird, but satisfying idea. We are going on an overnight retreat next month to spend some time talking about what messages we got or didn’t get about money growing up and which of these things match our actual values now as adults and how might...

Sermon on Mary and Martha

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 4:34 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

Just to get it out there, this story about Mary and Martha has always irritated me, because I think Martha is awesome, and she’s always made out to be a busy-body and a whiner. See, Jesus is welcomed into the home of Mary and Martha and the thing to understand is that Jesus didn’t exactly travel alone. Dude had an entourage – so to welcome Jesus is to welcome who Jesus brings in with him. And to extend hospitality to... Read more

Sermon on Beanie Babies, Scarcity and Vanity.

Last updated on: August 5, 2013 at 11:45 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

(sorry, no audio this week) “it is an unhappy business that God has given to human beings to be busy with. 14I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun; and see, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.” Ecclesiastes 1:13-14 Welcome to Ecclesiastes. All is vanity. Nothing ends up mattering. Everything for which we toil is fricken pointless. We are born and grow up and then just work and work for what? And then we just... Read more
