Harper’s Magazine has taken a look at sermons preached by pastors at two churches habitually attended by Gov. Sarah Palin. I guess this is now required reporting for political journalists. From what I’ve read, Palin did a far share of church-hopping but has settled down since becoming governor.

Says Harper’s: Since becoming governor in 2006, Palin has attended the Juneau Christian Center, where Mike Rose serves as senior pastor. Her previous pastor was David Pepper of the Church on the Rock in Palin’s hometown of Wasilla – a church that “was kind of a foundation for her.”

Rose has said: From a July 28, 2007 sermon: “Do you believe we’re in the last days? After listening to Newt Gingrich and the prime minister of Israel and a number of others at our gathering, I became convinced, and I have been convinced for some time. We are living in the last days. These are incredible times to live in.”


Pepper has said: From an November 25, 2007 sermon: “The purpose for the United States isâÂ?¦ to glorify God. This nation is a Christian nation.”

Seems kinda like the preaching you’d hear in a lot of Pentecostal/evangelical churches across the country.

Links to more sermons are here and here.

Now, if we could only find Mike Huckabee’s sermons.
