Occassionally I am asked to preach at various churches, my own or ones that hear of me through my extended network of contacts. For the sake of completion, here you will find an archive of these sermons. Hopefully they will prove more useful to those reading them on my site than they were to those sleeping through them in the pews.
I also have the tendency to write liturgies (worship services) for our group on campus and for other assorted purposes. It is a goal of mine, in fact, to have a liturgy for every season of the Christian calendar: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost, as well as individual holy days. All my liturgies are copyrighted, but are available for use with proper credit.

- Sermon on 11/12/05
- Easily one of my best and most lauded sermons... Once upon a time, a people had a dream...
Liturgies
- Liturgy for Epiphany
- Originally written as part of a project for a university class, it ended up being good enough to serve as an Epiphany liturgy.
- Christian Liturgy for Social Justice
- A general liturgy for Christian activist types, broken into several sections: the need for social justice, the proclamation of the Social Gospel, call to social action, encouragement in fear and declaring the inevitability of God's victory and justice.
