This will be the last installment of my preaching career on line. I will still do some pulpit supply as needed and we will use our remaining resources to keep all of our years of sermons on line on our YouTube and iTunes channels. Indulge me in this last sermon to reminisce with you about my own journey from being a traditional evangelical Christian to being an academic Unitarian liberal. Peace be with you all!

The best way to totally misunderstand a good story is to try to take it literally. The birth narratives in Matthew and Luke are not historical, not even close. They are mini sermons in the form of a story. While they are really bad history, they are actually really good sermons if we can dismiss literalism and hear the story the authors are trying to tell us.

An undeniable aspect of the current state of affairs in our world is that we have fewer friends than we used to and more and more families have estranged family members. There are a myriad of reasons for it but no matter what aspect of modern life you blame, the bottom line is still the same: we have too few friends and too much family weirdness. Without complicating the psychology of it all too much, maybe we can try to just "let that s**t go."
