This Lutheran Life: Confession and Absolution in Advent, Year B, 2014
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2014/12/confession-and-absolution-in-advent.html
Friday, December 5, 2014. Confession and Absolution in Advent, Year B, 2014. In this season of Advent. We stand before you during this time of longing. We stand before you during this time of waiting. We stand before you during this time of anticipation. We stand before you as a broken people. We stand before you as sinners. Sin makes us uneasy and uncomfortable and unsure, but sin cannot be downplayed or ignored. We live in a world where sin is very real. Sin robs us of having an authentic life. Show us...

This Lutheran Life: A Postmodern Seminary Vocabulary
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2009/10/postmodern-seminary-vocabulary.html
Tuesday, October 6, 2009. A Postmodern Seminary Vocabulary. This song has gone viral at PLTS, and I have to share the lyrics with you. A Postmodern Seminary Vocabulary" written by Matthew Black. When I came to seminary, I thought it would be neat. But I couldn't eat in the cafeteria; it's called the refectory. And I couldn't interpret the Pentateuch, cause exegesis is best. And they don't read the Bible here, they just call it the text. Cause here at seminary we love our vocabulary. And I keep saying "po...

This Lutheran Life: Longing for Home
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2014/12/longing-for-home.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. Sermon delivered Sunday, December 21, 2014 (4 Advent, Year B), at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oakland, CA (2 Samuel 7:1-11, 16 and Luke 1:26-38). When I think of this week’s lessons, I can’t help but think of home. What does home mean to you? Home is that place where you feel comfortable, right? And then they left India. and went to Cleveland, Ohio. In 1970. In November. That only lasted two months. King David, in our Old Testament lesson, is convinced that God. well, that Go...

This Lutheran Life: May 2011
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Day One, Asian Theological Summer Institute. I am formulating questions for the interviews I will conduct with Asian American pastors in the ELCA. Later in the summer. I want to ask about pastoral identity in a predominantly white denomination. I also want to ask if such a minority status impacts an interpretation of incarnational. Identity in any way. I also want to ask about the hopes for the ELCA's. Office of Multicultural Ministries. What works? I am thankful and so blessed for...

This Lutheran Life: January 2012
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. Why yes, I did preach on fornication and prostitution (otherwise known as what the heck was I thinking? Here's something a tad different. My internship site places the audio from sermons online, which means that the sermons I've preached are all online. Ack. The last sermon I preached was not on the Gospel text (which starts the audio file), but instead what I found to be a daunting text: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. Links to this post.

This Lutheran Life: Who the hell are you?
http://thislutheranlife.blogspot.com/2012/07/who-hell-are-you.html
Sunday, July 8, 2012. Who the hell are you? Sermon for the Sixth Sunday After Pentecost, Year B, July 8, 2012. Delivered at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oakland, California (my internship site). 8220;Remember who you are, but remember whose you are.”. Why do you want to be a pastor? How that call can be a combination of both terror and comfort? How that call can be both incredibly fulfilling and incredibly draining? Let’s place ourselves in Ezekiel’s place. How would you feel? Maybe not able to stand? Paul&...
