• Dreaming Together at the End of the World 2/7

  Sharing material resources to further the church’s goals. In this dream, John sees a diverse, numberless crowd surrounding a throne declaring that the “Lamb who was slain (Jesus)” is worthy of power, wealth, wisdom, strength, glory, honor, praise, and dominion. In John’s world, the people calling for this sort of attribution were imperialistic rulers, and here John is dreaming of the slain one (the threat-to-empire, criminalized Jesus) as the one who is worthy. What is it to dream a dream like this when the powers-that-be are breathing down your neck, crying out for loyalty daily? When folkx don’t have enough money to buy food? What is it for the “Lamb who was slain,” the victim, the helpless, the suffering, the criminalized, the “guilty” one who was killed to be the one worthy of all these things? If this dream inverts those who are really worthy of wealth and power, what does that say about how we use our own resources as a church (in how we give, share, and create)?

• Dreaming Together at the End of the World 1/7

  Extension of the Church’s Welcome to Friends, Neighbors, Strangers, and Enemies. Just like when you wake up from a strange dream and you want to tell someone about it, in this passage, John experiences a dream/vision from God, who tells him to write it down.To tell us your thoughts on this sermon, click through to the web posting and leave us a comment.

• Easter Sunday 2025

  Feral Hope. Here’s a quote from an essay I’ve been reading and re-reading: “Feral hope is radical hope. As Jonathan Lear describes it, ‘What makes this hope radical is that it is directed toward a future goodness that transcends the current ability to understand what it is. Radical hope anticipates a good for which those who have the hope as yet lack the appropriate concepts with which to understand it.” Like… going to a tomb, finding it empty...With thanks to Cody Sanders for his essay ‘Feral Hope for Futurist Leaders,’ accessed here.To tell us your thoughts on this sermon, click through to the web posting and leave us a comment.

• Becoming (like) Jesus 5/5

  The Expanse of His Care, from Small to Ginormous. (There is a section just before this, Jesus teaching in the Nazareth synagogue, that we read recently.) Here we see Jesus coming into his power as a holistic healer: tending to the spirits and bodies of all those who suffer. He has a remarkable capacity to deal compassionately and powerfully with big stuff – unclean spirits! – and small stuff – an old lady with a fever! And similarly we are called to attend to and alleviate the full scope of human suffering in our life together.

• Becoming (like) Jesus 4/5

  The Hardest Part, For Now. Jesus told us to pray to escape trials, because he himself endured trials. “Trial” is more than temptation, right? It’s about the deep-down questioning of whether God is trustworthy. Pray that you don’t ever have to really ask that – but if you do, know that Jesus did it first.
