In this week's Wednesday midday, we look at the little known and largely enigmatic book of Tobit (or Tobias, or Tobi, or Tobiah depending on your faith background).

It seems that what Jesus is asking us to do, particularly in his encounters with Philip, is to believe not only in him, but in the way he sees and understands the world.  A Sermon from the 9th Sunday after Pentecost. 

Elephant in the Refrigerator

Though Jesus is doing some pretty heavy theological lifting in John 6, he also takes time to dish out some practical baking advice and make a dad joke. A Sermon from the tenth Sunday after the Pentecost.
