Following the Dragon-Slayer

June 23, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Matthew 14:22–33, Matthew 8:18–27

In this final dragon sermon, we look at two stories in which Jesus teaches his disciples what it takes to follow the Dragon-Slayer. On the one hand, following Jesus will lead them into dangers they never would have faced otherwise. On the other, it also opens up possibilities for them that they never would have dreamed possible.

Swimming with Dragons

June 9, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Job 41—42

In fact, the climax of the Book of Job--which is all about suffering--is a a long description of of a dragon called Leviathan. Why does the Bible talk about dragons when we are suffering? What comfort can there be in thinking about dragons?
