Listen to Sermons from Ryan and Others
A note from the preacher:
Sermons are not boxes of perfectly contained truth that can be revisited time and again. Rather, sermons are living encounters among the congregation, Scripture, and the preacher. The Spirit moves throughout that encounter, teaching and inspiring and challenging. Therefore, I want to point out that what are available on this web page are not, properly speaking, sermons. Sermons belong in a particular context, with particular people and one occasion. What speaks the gospel with great feeling in one time and place may in another fall flat--or even speak a different message entirely.
These are more like 'memories of sermons.' These memories of sermons are included here on the chance that something within them struck you and you want to revisit that thought or emotion; or as a way of staying connected to our living community; or as a way to get to know our community better. I hope very much that they still manage to say something here out of their context, but nonetheless consider yourself warned if they ring hollow. The best way to experience preaching is to be present for it--because your presence changes that preaching.
