Sermons at St. Andrew’s

God’s Heard Word

Because we worship an incarnate Lord whose Word became flesh, scripture is chiefly meant to be heard — spoken words landing on us from outside ourselves — and like rain in Isaiah's prophecy, God's heard word accomplishes far more than watering our religious lives: it causes thoroughgoing, unexpected flourishing across our marriages, work, sicknesses, and whole selves. Our proper response, then, is not silent pondering but audible reply: to shout, sing, and speak back, joining the mountains and meadows that clap and shout for joy.

Weal and Woe

The ability of God to draw weal from woe is among the most important parts of who God is, and so is his ability to use the imperfect for his perfect will.
