De-escalating the Gaslit Powderkeg | Rev. Thomas G. James | March 19, 2023 | Watch |
It seems like every corner we take we find another gaslit fight waiting to break out. The world is anxious, like a lit powder keg, waiting for ignition. In such a tense moment, what we need is to cultivate a calming presence that difuses tension and holds fast to truth and love. | Getting Over Ourselves | Rev. Thomas G. James | March 12, 2023 | Watch |
We’re all just a little bit conceited, aren’t we? We live in a world that has given us permission to be a know-it-all, who can spit out fake news as if it were truth, and people will believe us. But the way of Christ is one of humility and selflessness. A faithful posture requires a limiting of one’s ego. | Can you feel my pain? | Rev. Dr. F. Douglas Powe, Jr. | March 5, 2023 | Watch |
Very few of us live without wounds that lie beneath the surface. We have likely been traumatized, or we know someone who has. The world would try to convince us that carrying wounds and trauma makes us less loved, less faithful, and less able. Yet Jesus invites us to see and touch his wounds to know we are not alone. | Critical Evil Theory | Rev. Thomas G. James | February 26, 2023 | Watch |
Jesus faced the devil in the wilderness, a spiritual force that invited Jesus to turn away from the truth of God’s power and authority. Paul says that, for all people of faith, we struggle in a similar fight against spiritual forces and cosmic powers. So what really is behind the systemic issues that continue to deteriorate God’s beautiful creation? |
