Sermon: Monday, April 30, 2018: Texts for the 5th Sunday after Easter

My ability to find myself in this text owes a debt of gratitude to the work of James Cone and others who have helped me to know at the core of my being that at the very place where the world turns its back on me, God is with me, God is for me, God is on my side because God sides with the oppressed.

Sermon: Sunday, April 22, 2018: Fourth Sunday in Easter

The person who has to use public restrooms because they don’t have access to any others isn’t invited into a meditation on class, poverty, and human dignity. They are experiencing classism, power and indignity. Whether that is what we intend or not is beside the point.
