Throughout this December we have had several events in the church that have made me ponder upon our various traditions: How they have come to be, why we have kept …

“… We will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye…” So said the Epistle Reading for today. What a brilliant sentence. It describes – at …

The theme of today’s readings is that our earthly lives – our lives where we dwell in bodies – are not eternal. We all must die. But one day eternity …

De sidste tider er et både spændende og problematisk emne at snakke om. Det er spændende, fordi det er noget, der vedrører os alle. Det er dog også problematisk, fordi …

In today’s Gospel Reading we are presented with not just one – but two – parables making the reading rather comprehensive. Both are about vineyards, both are told in the …

I must be honest with you. I have never really liked the Gospel Reading for today. The reading about Mary and Martha who received a visit from Jesus. And despite …

Som evangelietekst til i dag hørte vi den ikoniske tekst om en mand, der var syg, og som havde ligget ved en helt særlig sø hele 38 år. For søen …

Selvom det ikke foregår her i landet, så ved vi alle sammen godt, at der sker en masse syd for grænsen. Der er valgkamp. Valget er ganske vist først til …

Have you all heard about ‘The Greater Fool Theory’? It is quite a simple theory. A person does something that at first seems to be rather foolish. Yet the person …

De ti bud. Det var den gammeltestamentlige tekst til i dag. Var der nogle af jer, der talte efter? Det håber jeg næsten ikke. Og så alligevel. Noget af det …

’Lignelsen om den fortabte søn’ er og bliver bare en af mine yndlings-tekster. Teksten er næsten 2.000 år gammel, men alligevel er og bliver den bare sindssyg aktuel. Og så …

“Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters… cannot be my disciple.” Of course, this is the sentence that makes todays …

Pinse. Kirkens tredje højtid. Nok den mindste af de tre – jul, påske, pinse – men ingenlunde uvæsentlig. I dag fejrer vi Helligåndens komme til os mennesker. Af mange kaldes …

As I said in the beginning of today’s service, during the last couple of Sundays, we have listened to some philosophical readings about how Jesus remains with us despite his …
