Sermons
Who can preach — knowing what preaching is?
Here you’ll find my attempts to make the Word plain. Each sermon grows from the lectionary text and from the conviction that scripture is not merely information — it is invitation. I preach to encourage, to disturb, to awaken. And wherever possible, I bring the whole body into the encounter with God.
