Sermon Notes

  • Sermon on John 3,1-17 2020.pdf
Having the Courage to Open Our Minds

Fr. Allen says that he's come to admire people like Nicodemus: People who have a lot of reasons not to engage with Jesus, but who allow themselves to be pulled into God's story and mission because they are more committed to discovering life's meaning and their personal potential than they are in staying comfortable and cozy.  How about you? Are you ready to pursue something deeper this Lent?

Nota Bene: The spoken version of the sermon is somewhat different--Fr. Allen says funnier!-- than the written verison.
