Following Jesus
“The Church missed its high calling to be the new thing in the world when it decided to worship Jesus instead of following him.”

Dr. James Cone and the Urgency of the Call
James Cone, in the Cross and the Lynching Tree, and Luke in his Gospel, each drive home two key messages. Each is as provocative today as in past generations. Chris Phillips’ sermon doesn’t mince words or images in drawing parallels and getting us to think deeply about our own attitudes and beliefs in these times of grief and hope. More

Christmas Day
Our story is to be with God, or if you rather a selfless way to go through the world. Seeking and serving Christ in ALL others. This Christmas morning is the start. Like my young couples being reminded that the wedding is the start of the marriage and that they will have to work to keep it alive, and creative and ongoing and generative. Christmas morning the birth of this child, the breaking of God into the life of Humanity is the start. WE are called people to move towards others so their lives will not have to be one of suffering we are called this morning to realize that this is the start not the fulfillment of God promise to this world and we are called to change the world, to be apart and to help as we can so that any child born outside has a chance to grow up and be apart of this world in new and amazing ways.

Christmas Eve 10 Pm
Yet this is a story where the people are ordered around by the powers that be and yet the Shepherds who are called to announce the good news, to come and see the baby to companion this brand new family. THEY ARE outside the power structure. They are immigrant and they are outsiders That is part of this story, too.
THIS IS A STORY OF HOPE and we hear it every year so that we can be reminded to be the part of the good of the story the people struggling the ones calling out the powers that be. More

Plunging Beneath the Surface
I spent many summers swimming in the James River in Richmond, Virginia. Located right at the fall line of the river, the waters are churning and muddy. When you’re in this water, you can’t see where you’re going, and you’re constantly getting whipped and pulled around. Our lives, lived in the constantly changing present moment, remind me of swimming in the James… More

A Prophet’s Fate
The word for prophet in Hebrew is navi, which means to be called. Therefore, a prophet is not someone who sees or tells the future… A prophet is someone who speaks on behalf of God or of a higher Truth to the people in his or her life, in their context and about their current situation. A prophet’s life is not easy. From the moment he was called by God, and to the end of his career as a prophet, Jeremiah was vituperated, railed against for being unfaithful and even traitorous to the king. He was thrown in jail, and sadly, eventually and, despite it all, proven right! More
