Sermon Progress

At our last service at St. Luke’s for the time being, I jotted down a phrase for my sermon Sunday. Since we’ll be celebrating the sesquicentennial anniversary with readings for the Second Sunday of Christmas (including the Epiphany gospel), I inclined toward picking up the “Gentiles following a star” motif with our participation in the divine light. In a moment, I scribbled down the phrase, “reflecting the radiance of a star that leads on beyond us.” I don’t know that that will make it into the final version of the sermon, but it’s a start. Add in some of the elements of a sermon that I preached on 2 Easter here in Evanston last year, and I’ve got some good material toward the sermon for Christ Church.

I’m working on my article on postmodern biblical interpretation, too, but that’s coming more slowly even though it has to be longer and is due sooner.
