One of the first things you will notice when you step into my office is the framed copy of The Plain Dealer front page from June 20th, 2016. In huge bold print, the headline reads: “BELIEVE IT! The Cavaliers Are NBA Champions!”  The picture is of an enraptured LeBron James (The Chosen One – all sorts of messianic titles) holding the trophy, surrounded by his disciples… err… team mates.

The sermon begins around 28 minutes in.

I’m nervous today. I tried to re-write this sermon like five times but couldn’t. So I guess this is the sermon God wants me to deliver!

March 17, 2019 Peg Weissbrod

The morning’s sermon begins about 25 minutes in.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow ~ Luke 9:28-36

March 3, 2019 Peg Weissbrod

I so clearly remember the day my seminary professor asked me what I planned to do after graduating from seminary. I said, “Well, I guess I’ll become a pastor.” And he said, “Fine, but don’t neglect your academic side.” Heck, I didn’t even know I had an academic side! Read the rest of this entry »
