We often imagine that true freedom comes from having our own way, but doing what we want often leads us to a different kind of life than the one we want. In the next section of Peter, the apostle explains how true freedom is found in submission to God's will, even though that sometimes means being treated unjustly, but it teaches us to be like Jesus, who gives us the pattern for what it means to be truly human.

Freedom is a bedrock cultural value; we can define it in different ways. While our culture tells us that freedom is about autonomy, Peter puts forward a different understanding: freedom comes from learning to embrace the life God has for us. Paradoxically, this often involves submission to authoriti...

The 'bad guys' in Jesus' story are people who think they are following God, but have fallen for sins that distort what their faithfulness to God looks like. These same sins are also struggles for Jesus' disciples, and also for us. But Jesus shows us alternative ways to respond to temptation that leads us towards life.

Reflecting on Jesus’ warning about the narrow gate in Matthew 7, this sermon explores how even the most devout can mistakenly oppose God by following “broad roads” of self-certainty and distorted faith. By examining the four major Jewish parties of the first century—the Sadducees (worldlines...
