Kenny Benge preached a sermon on Ephesians 3:14-21 entitled “The End of All Our Exploring” for The Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost on August 22, 2015. Our transformation happens as the Gospel comes into contact with our struggle with mystery, with contradictions, with confusion, with inconsistencies in the world, inconsistencies in others, and inconsistencies within ourselves.

Sin is Behovely, but 

All shall be well, and

All manner of thing shall be well.

Julian of Norwich, quoted in T.S. Eliot, “Little Gidding”

Kenny Benge preached a sermon on Ephesians 3:1-13 entitled “Insiders and Outsiders Together” for The Twelfth Sunday After Pentecoston August 15, 2015. In this passage, Paul shows how his own situation and the nature of the church demonstrate the power of God through weakness. He invites us to develop a Gospel imagination—the ability to see with God’s upside down wisdom.
