Be Perfect! Really?!? How perfect?

Karin Wright, Presbyterian, preached this Senior Sermon during the Spring 2009 term.

Matthew 5:38-48

How perfect do I have to be? That's the question that every kid in confirmation always wants to know. If we're honest, we want to know too. Isn't it hard enough just to try our best? Why do we have to be perfect? Read the sermon in PDF.

The Summons to God’s Hospitality


Walker, Elizabeth Johnson
Associate Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling

John 3:4-16
February 15, 2008

The parallels between the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and the summoning of God’s people to experience God’s hospitality are drawn in this sermon given the second week of Lent. Our faith begins with the God of Abraham and the promise of God to create a free home in Heaven. God loves and values each of us regardless of color or status. We are assured that all of us are participants in God’s mercy and grace. Listen to the sermon.
