Sermon on Spiritual Gifts (which, unfairly, doesn’t include snarkyness)

Last updated on: January 23, 2013 at 1:25 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

1_20_2013 NBW Sermon-1 <—–click here to listen along. Sermons are a spoken event. Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 4Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; 6and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. 7To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8To one is given through...

Sermon on Pirates in the Nativity and How God Incarnates the Impossible Among the Unlikely

Last updated on: December 26, 2012 at 10:07 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.’ Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ Then the angel departed from her. In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country. (Luke 1)... Read more

Pregnant old ladies and other signs that God’s story is better than the one we tell ourselves

12-9-2012 NBW Sermon <—–Click here to listen along. Seriously. I beg you. Sermons are meant to be heard and not read. A few years ago, when Roxanne was new to this church, I asked her what she thought of worship here. “oh, It’s great”, she said…”Because I’ve always wanted my life to be like a musical where you never know when people are gonna just start singing…and this church is kinda like that”. The first couple chapters of Luke’s Gospel are... Read more

Creating Memories in an Advent Waiting Room

Last updated on: December 7, 2012 at 12:02 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

The Spanish courtyard outside our worship space has been turned into an Advent Waiting Room for the next 4 weeks, a sign on the door simply saying “Please wait to be called”. Little white lights glow upon the bushes and trees that dot the courtyard; parishioners gather around pots of warm cider and children chase each other, perhaps slightly rowdier than if their parents were not engaged in conversation. The church bell is soon rung by a spirited 5 year... Read more

Sermon on Thanksgiving at Pontius Pilate’s Mom’s House and Where We Belong

Last updated on: November 27, 2012 at 5:08 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” 34Jesus answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?” 35Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?” 36Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me... Read more

11-18-2012 NBW HFASS Sermon<——Click here to listen along I recently read that there is literally a psychological disorder called “Jerusalem syndrome” in which people returning from visiting the Holy Land exhibit irrational and obsessive religious fervor. And as many of you know, I’ve just returned from 2 weeks in the Land called Holy and so I just wanted to assure you – I do not have Jerusalem Syndrome. If anything I have whatever the opposite of that would... Read more

Sermon on Why the Gospel is More Wizard of Oz-y than the Law

10-28-2012 NBW Sermon <—-click here to listen along. The difference between listening to a sermon and reading a sermon is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing a bullet. Happy Reformation Sunday, or as I like to call it: Lutheran Pridefulness Sunday, a day in the liturgical year where we celebrate the protestant reformation and there is indeed a lot to celebrate. We’ve come a long way Baby. For instance: We Protestants are no longer under the Pope. Our clergy... Read more

And a year and a half ago, as many of you know, I wanted something really particular. For the 1st 3 years of this church, we were using a hundred year old church building in an edgy hispster neighborhood. It had hardwood floors and stained glass and no pews and it wasn’t... Read more

Mark 9:42-48 “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea. 43If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. 45And if your foot causes you to...
