I've added in the sermon that I gave last week. I'm posting it here not because I think its necessarily good, but because I preach to a bunch of strangers (not really strangers but whatever) and my family and friends aren't there. The whole thing seems kinda weird to me. oh well.
The sermons on the first part of Mark 10. We've been going through the whole book of Mark this year. It's actually an extremely political book that is extremely critical of the powers that be in their world. It's critical of Rome, the temple, and anyone with power inside that system. The text is cool and I tried to find that dynamic in Jesus' teaching on divorce.
Well, here it is. I tried to make it interesting. Read it, let me know what you think.
...and i really hope my attempt to convert a word document to a pdf then embed the pdf into blogger will be successful. I'm a nerd so ask me how to do it if you want to know how. you can click on "more" to save it and read it easier or click on "scribd" to read it in full view there. enjoy

First off, congratulations to Steven. You're lucky just to have Jessica talk to you let alone be willing to spend her life with you. Congrats!
Second, I went to an immigration town hall meeting at my church the other day. Congressman Moran (D -VA) was there as well as representatives from a number of immigrant groups, labor groups, and ethnic groups. The church was packed - about 300 or so, much more than we get on a sunday morning. There weren't any anti-immigration reform people there because they live out in castles far away from my church. They wouldn't have gotten the best reception among all the undocumented workers and immigrants in the church anyway.
We made the local news. Here's the link.
You can see me and loren in the far back left when they show the church. we're pretty much the only white people there.
Jim Moran was also the guy at the health care town hall i went to about a month ago. I'm not the biggest fan of everything he does, but I walked out of both town halls genuinely impressed with him.
