PreacHer: Cana Moore

Summary: Cana invites us into the mind of character Inigo Montoya from the cult classic film “The Princess Bride.” Then she moves deftly to the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 25 and helps us to see that God’s guidance has been there all along--if only we will ask for it.

PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Katelyn Hargrave

Summary: As a woman called to ministry, Katelyn felt repeatedly pushed out, excluded, and heard the message that she did not belong in ministry. She resonates with this man in Mark’s Gospel who boldly heals in Christ’s name while the insiders try to invalidate his ministry. But the hospitality of Jesus is surprising, inclusive, and reciprocal. About the healer and about Katelyn, Jesus says “they belong, they’re doing my work.” To be a Jesus follower is to let go of power and ego and control, and to embrace the subversive leadership and hospitality of Jesus.

PreacHer: Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Summary: God tells Jonah to go. And the funny thing is, when you think about modern-day missionaries, they have a really hard time getting funding to go to places that may not be receptive. But with Jonah--he knows that they’ll turn from their ways, that they’ll repent and want to come back to YHWH. There’s no question in his mind that they’ll accept his message. He just doesn’t want to deliver it. It’s not fair. Why should they be forgiven and allowed back in?

PreacHer: Christine Fox Parker

Summary: The book of Hosea has long been one of my favorite stories. The first three chapters especially--though dark and haunting--contain the most beautiful story of love ever. It is not the story of Hosea loving Gomer despite her prostitution. Rather, it is God loving me despite mine. It is the timeless story of the persons and people of God believing themselves to be faithful to YHWH even as we chase false lovers and the unremitting steadfast commitment of YHWH to the bride.

Summary: Who should be invited to sit at our table? This sermon explores the relationship between inclusive, diverse community, and God's name "El Roi" (the God who sees me). In order to create a thriving, diverse community, the church must be committed to seeing others and including them, much like God does throughout the Bible.

Wednesday, July 22, 2020
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Claire Davidson Frederick

Summary: Adapted from a previously preached homily on the Book of Ruth, this sermon takes listeners along the journey of two widows: Naomi (from Bethlehem in Judah) and Ruth (a foreigner from Moab). This tragic and ultimately hope-filled story gives Bible-believing people permission to both lament our misfortune and believe that God may yet have something more in store for us. The good news Frederick expounds is that God often works through the marginalized, the scandalized, and the traumatized to bring about God's ultimate redemptive purposes. God even works through an outsider like Ruth to facilitate the redemption of those inside the covenant community.

And we who once were blind can no longer live as if we do not see. Prophets are crying out in our streets daily, #letmelive #Icantbreathe #BlackLivesMatter and freedom is on the horizon. Will the church partner with God to usher in release for the captives? Will the church embody Good News for the oppressed? How will the history books tell the story of the church in this era?

Summary: Submission isn’t a dirty word. In the story of Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos in Acts 18, the narrative has a lot to say about not only leadership, but also learning. Let’s explore together what it might look like to submit ourselves in vulnerability.

Summary: Acts 18 marks the conclusion of Paul's second evangelistic journey as well as the beginning of the well-storied Corinthian church.  One might expect this beginning to be heroically auspicious as it derives from the ministry of the most beloved Paul. However, this particular beginning emerges far more relatable from the awareness of a suffering journey and Paul's subsequent response. Join us to hear God's reaction to fear in the life of Paul. From within these eleven verses emerges a focal point of Paul's service to the Corinthian believers that continues to resonate through Paul's words into our lives today: 

"So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength]." 2 Corinthians 12:10 (Amplified Bible)

Summary: If you’ve ever read the book of James, you know that the author makes a strong case for practicing what you preach, putting your money where your mouth is, letting your actions speak louder than your words. And the thing is, all those deeply-held convictions that never materialize in tangible action are dangerous. Faith without works isn’t just dead--it’s deadly. It’s poisonous and tricky and can lull us into a state of being half-asleep where we think our thinking alone is enough. It’s not. But let’s put our thinking minds and loving hearts together to figure out how and where to channel our faith and convictions in acts of love that Just. Might. Change. The. World.

Summary: When Luke constructed Acts 10 and 11, he very specifically decided to tell a story twice from two different perspectives, the narrator and Peter. The story is so central to Acts – and to the Gospel in the big picture - that it needed to be double-underlined for us. Think of it as a form of highlighting before highlighters existed. So, we pay double attention because Luke says we should, and the point is that God shows no favoritism. The goal of the blessing and call of Abram all the way back in Genesis 12 is coming to fruition as God's work in history blesses all people in all the world. The first Jesus followers had to figure out how to catch up with God’s purposes, so here we have an example of how that occurred. (A sermon preached at Camarillo Church of Christ)

Summary: Acts 12 is one of those stories that gets told time and time again, as the early church reminds themselves of what they knew to be true--the Kingdom of God will eventually prevail. But also, there’s this minor character who might actually be the hero in hiding. All of this has us asking ourselves: whose voice have we discounted, or silenced in proclaiming the good news that God is still in this resurrection business? When our chains fall off, will we choose to get up and believe the truth that God is resurrecting us and freeing us from a life of fear? How many times have we chosen to stay put instead of following the unexpected way out? God is at work among us. May we have eyes to see it, and feet to follow.

Summary: The conversion story of Paul sets the stage for the exponential growth of the church and at least half of the letters we read in the New Testament. It’s an exciting and harrowing tale of a murderer turned Christian, a fundamentalist accuser turned preacher, a spiritually blind man turned woke. But also, let’s not be so quick to gloss over who he was as “Saul.” How do we read the Paul story in light of trauma and the importance of centering survivors’ voices? And why do we need to do this in the first place?

Summary: Friends, we are living in a truly remarkable time. Never before has the future been so uncertain. And what better time to be dwelling in the book of Acts--a book which retells the exciting days and weeks and months after Jesus was raised from the dead and up into heaven. A book that excitedly shares the Good News that God has conquered every sickness and even death. Stories that portray ordinary and unlikely people being the ones to carry the message of Jesus to the ends of the Earth. These people were living in unprecedented times. The world as they knew it had been turned upside down and was no more. And they had to figure out how to move forward. How to establish new rhythms and find their new normal. May we find ourselves in these stories as we locate ourselves in God’s story.

I believe in us as humans. It’s more important than ever that we show up and do the work that is ours to do. The thing we were created for.

Summary: When Stephen is put on trial before the council in Acts 6-7, he does not seek to defend himself. Rather, he retells Israel's history in order to expose their pattern of rejecting prophets and leaders. In a moment of radical truth-telling, Stephen beseeches the crowd to break the cycle of their ancestors, and to consecrate their hearts to God. In this sermon, I invite Stephen to challenge us, as we consider why we have rejected the prophets and truth-tellers of our time, and how we might repent.

Summary: We pick up where S3E4 left off - watching to see how the religious leaders will respond to Peter and John and the lame man. Will they accept and affirm that this is the work of God? The questions are for all of us too (especially the religious leaders among us): Will we set aside our insecurities and our defensiveness? Will we admit that we aren’t really in charge? Or will we grasp at our illusion of power? Will we reject this sign and try to silence them? (Acts 4.1-22)

It’s about getting things wrong about who’s in and who’s out.

Summary: In this episode we hear from a unique minister of reconciliation who is engaging in the difficult, often heart-breaking work of advocating for marginalized youth. In Jessica’s sermon, we look to the early church in search of relevance and guidance. We are challenged to think about using our gifts to build up God’s community and most importantly, we are called to build bridges and bigger tables, to spend time together regardless of our labels. Tables, not labels. We are invited to join God in God’s mission to change the world.

The response to all of this work that I’m so grateful to be part of, has been tremendous—you guys are eager to hear women preach, and talk theology and doubts and church, and be inspired to build bigger tables. Let’s do something together, because God is still at work in the world and the church is the *actual* body of Christ and it matters. It’s time to lean in and level up. Our call is to eat and drink and stay and heal and share. Let’s do this!

Our call is to eat and drink and stay and heal and share. Let’s do this!

You'll hear reflections on what it means to be a “minister-at-large” in the world, untethered to an institution, but still deeply rooted in Christian faith and my heritage in Churches of Christ. You'll hear my vision for continuing to dwell in the Word and in the world on behalf of God’s people, and bring a Spirit-breathed word--through this podcast! This is a message of hope -- for you who are far away and you who are near. Listen in.
