Marching for Sandwiches, Marcus Borg and Civility

How do we encounter and deal with people who have different beliefs? We all give lip service to being able to listen and welcoming opposing views, but in reality, we don’t have much patience in our modern society for those that don’t conform to whatever is the status quo in our world.

About Me

My name is Dennis Sanders and I'm an openly gay ordained pastor in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) who lives in Minneapolis. I'm currently the Pastor at First Christian Church in Mahtomedi, Minnesota.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism in 2008 . I'm still discovering how this affects my vocation and life in general and where autism and faith intersect.

  • A Thankful Life
    Have you ever heard of the phrase "get right with God?" It seems to connote that we have to do something in order to get back into God's good graces.  But in the texts for this coming weekend from Jeremiah and Hebrews talks about God being the one that acts in order to get people right with God.  The response is not to do something for God to […]
  • A Shot of Grace
    We look to vaccines to save us from the dangers of COVID-19. Just like vaccines bring healing or salvation, Jesus explains in John 3 how God's love will bring healing to all of creation through his death on a cross. But how? We will find out.

  • Where Does God Live?
    Third Sunday of Lent: We go to John chapter 2 where we see that Jesus is just a bit angry. What does it mean that Jesus got angry? What was Jesus angry about? What does it have to do with hope? What does it say to us today? Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FCCStPaul Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fccstpaul/ Watch Past Worship Servic […]
  • Thoughts and Prayers
    Second Sunday in Lent: "Thoughts and Prayers." That can be a phrase of caring, but it can also be just mere words.  Jesus calls the disciples and the larger crowd to put words into action.  In Mark chapter 8 and Revelation 3 we learn that in God's Kingdom, words must be backed with acts of love.

  • What A Beautiful World This Will Be
    First Sunday in Lent: What is hope? How is it different from optimism? This is the First Sunday in the Season of Lent.  We start our worship Series, Unafraid: Courage and Hope in an Uncertain Time.  We will look at the tales of Noah and the Ark found in Genesis 9.  Noah and his family finally get out of the ark after a long time inside. After all the death a […]
