Episode 82: Renewed in Hope

Sermon on 1 Peter 1:3-9

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, 7 so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (NRSV)

Episode 22: Dancing With Trinity

Sermon delivered on Holy Trinity Sunday, May 27, 2018, by The Rev. Dr. Alix D. Pridgen

The Trinity is not something to be solved. As Justo Gonzalez puts it, "Trinity is a mystery, not a puzzle.  Love is a mystery, a crossword is a puzzle.  You try to solve the puzzle, you stand in awe before a mystery." We’re trying to talk about God with words… and words are just too small.

Episode 14: The Antidote

Sermon on John 3:15-17  NRSV   Lent 4B 2018  

"And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."
