A Life Shaped by the Cross

Oct 4, 2026  •  The Rev. Dr. Sandi Kerner

Circumcised on the eighth day, a Hebrew of Hebrews, blameless under the law: Paul's pedigree in Philippians 3 is impressive, yet he counts it all as rubbish for the sake of knowing Christ. Preaching on the feast of St. Francis, Dr. Kerner commends a cruciform life with arms outstretched, recalling the San Damiano cross in Assisi and young people praying for one another for hours at Camp Weed. The sermon introduces a renewed ministry of healing prayer.
