Today's sermon is meant for anyone struggling to be heard in a relationship, or for those in a dispute with someone you think will never understand you.  Trying to make some people understand seems like miracle work at times, but in today's scripture reading, Jesus let's us know, it's essential or else we may perish.
Based on the lectionary readings for this Sunday: Isaiah 55:1–9 - Come, buy wine and milk without money!; 1 Corinthians 10:1–13 - God will not let you be tested beyond your strength.; Luke 13:1–9 - The parable of the barren fig tree.

Patience is a major theme in the sermon for the second Sunday of Lent.  It seems like Jesus requires patience upon hearing that Herod is mad at him for helping people in the big city of Jerusalem.  Sometimes we just don't think we can scrape enough patience to deal with the smallest of things... in those times, how can we be patient, where does it come from?  Based on the Lectionary readings from Genesis 15:1–12, 17–18 - God seals the covenant with Abram and Sarai. & Luke 13:31–35 - Jesus cries over Jerusalem as a hen over her chicks.

Today is the first Sunday of Lent.  We examine the story of the temptation of Christ by the Devil.  Is the 
Devil really tempting Jesus though?  He's more the Devil is doing something else, and it's something we're all a little guilty of now and then.  This sermon is based on the lectionary readings found in: Luke 4:1–13 - Jesus is tested in the desert.
