The Elephant (and Donkey) in the Room
11/06/2018 Duración: 16minWe complain about politics all the time. We hold our elected leaders to standards that we ourselves do not adhere to. And when they disappoint us we act as if no one could have predicted this. But we get the politicians we deserve.

Expect The Unexpected
03/06/2018 Duración: 15minWords are important. What we say often shapes what we believe and, perhaps even more importantly, it shapes how we behave.

Flashing Forth Flames of Fire
28/05/2018 Duración: 16minMost of us have come of age in a world where the God of scripture has been conveyed to us through analogy after analogy, where professional Christians like me have endeavored to bring people like you closer to the divine, when the truth of the matter is that we cannot describe God, and God is the One who encounters us.

The Future Present
21/05/2018 Duración: 19minEaster boldly proclaims that at the end of our possibilities God creates a new beginning – Pentecost shows us how we take the first steps.

The Whole Truth
13/05/2018 Duración: 22minThe whole truth of God’s testimony is that God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ. It is that simple, yet truly profound witness that gives us the power and the courage to speak our whole truth regardless of the consequences.

Trust and Disobey
07/05/2018 Duración: 23minRight now the contemporary church, from the realm of United Methodism to conservative evangelicalism, is struggling. The church struggles, in large part, because of our failure to recognize how we are bound to God and not to the world – such that many churches take their theological cues from the powers and principalities and assert them on scripture, rather than the other way around. It is precisely why our divisions are growing wider and our walls are growing taller.

Knee-Jerk Love
30/04/2018 Duración: 16minIt is in the loving of the other that we, and they, are made both human and holy. And this is at the heart of it all. We can talk about how much we love God because God loves us, but without loving our fellow human beings, we cannot know God! Let that sink in for just a moment – without love for one another, we cannot know God.

Dear Church
23/04/2018 Duración: 25minIf you could saying anything to your/the church, without consequences, what would you say?

Godly Play
16/04/2018 Duración: 12minFor some reason, as we mature into adulthood, our joyful play begins to fade and for some of us it completely stops. We just accept things the way they are, we make peace with the labels placed on us by society, we accept the love we think we deserve. And, more often than not, we'd rather relax than play. But not today...

Walking The Walk
09/04/2018 Duración: 14minAll of us, particularly those of us with a self-righteous leaning, are sinners in need of God’s grace. From the racists to those who abandon their racist family members. One of the harshest realities this side of Easter is that most of us believe we are without sin, and we deceive ourselves.

Three Words
02/04/2018 Duración: 16minHear the Good News, the best news. Hear the three most important words you will ever hear: He is risen!
-
Are You Afraid Of The Dark?
02/04/2018 Duración: 09minOn Easter we have reason to celebrate; death has been defeated! But Easter is also a reminder that God has inaugurated a strange new world, in which all of our priorities have been flipped upside down. Are we afraid? If not, maybe we should be.

Yet
31/03/2018 Duración: 15minAccording to the strange and mysterious wisdom of God, it is in the crucified death of Jesus that all of the cosmos is altered (and altar-ed). This death makes our lives possible. This death is what makes the Christian experience intelligible. This death is at the heart of who God is. The generosity of God means the crucifixion of the Son.

What Did Jesus Do? > What Would Jesus Do?
30/03/2018 Duración: 17minWe don’t gather to contemplate how Jesus would respond to a certain situation, we don’t wonder about what Jesus would do, instead we ask ourselves What Did Jesus Do? Because that question, and the struggle to answer it, is at the heart of the mystery we call faith. This night, tomorrow night, Easter Sunday, every Sunday, they’re not about what we should do. It’s about what Christ did.

Let the Revolution Begin!
26/03/2018 Duración: 13minDuring the March For Our Lives, one of the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School proclaimed, "Today the revolution begins!" But he was wrong. The revolution began a long time ago, when a poor Jewish rabbi entered Jerusalem on the back of a colt.

Make The Church Weird Again
19/03/2018 Duración: 14minI’ve been in ministry for roughly 5 years and I’ve finally figured it out. After all the sermons and all the meetings, after all the prayers and preparation, I know how to fix all the church’s problems. It’s time to make the church weird again.

The Not Top 10
05/03/2018 Duración: 17minIt’s incredibly ironic that many of the people who want the Ten Commandments up in public are the same who perpetuate a culture in which divorce is over 50% (you shall not commit adultery), where we have more guns than human beings (you shall not kill), where capitalism is more important than community (honor the Sabbath), and where we spend more time worshipping celebrities than Almighty God (you shall have no other gods before me).

What's In A Name?
26/02/2018 Duración: 16minLent is the perfect time to read about Abram and Sarai in church; they were imperfect people through whom God made the covenant promise a possibility -- just like us.
-
The End Of The Rainbow
18/02/2018 Duración: 15minIf God was willing to refrain from violence upon the world, if God was willing to hang up the bow, why haven’t we done the same?

Showing Up For Our Own Funerals
15/02/2018 Duración: 13minWhen we wrestle with our mortality we catch a glimpse of who we really are, and we wonder about what we could become, should we have just a little more time.
