Kristin Whitesides: Set Free

Luke 13:10-17

11th Sunday after Pentecost - Year C

August 25, 2019

The Rev. Dr. Kristin Whitesides (CBF)

 

One of my earliest, most vivid memories is from a church gathering when I was very young. I was toddling through the sea of legs in the fellowship hall, looking for my father, who was the pastor. But, because I was very small, I was looking at people's shoes. I immediately ruled out the women in heels and pantyhose. But then I was left with a sea of men's trousers and almost identically nondescript pantlegs. Finally, I found the set of legs I had been looking for and grabbed onto my father, holding on for dear life, overwhelmed by the crowds pressing around us.

Lori Raible: I Beg You, Do Not Torment Me

Luke 8:26-37

2nd Sunday after Pentecost - Year C

June 23, 2019

The Rev. Lori Raible (PCUSA)

 

I don't care if you are Al Roker or Willard Scott, no one can honestly estimate the wrath of a storm. We can't control them or stop them. How does the Psalm go? Though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam... (Psalm 46). Well, it seems like Jesus was having one of those days. We find Jesus on the shore after crossing the gliding waters of the Sea of Galilee where Jews caught fish and Jesus caught disciples. But as you know, this trip with his fearful disciples was not smooth sailing. And come to find out, the raging sea wasn't the only storm Jesus commanded that day. Hear what happens when Jesus lands on the east side, the Gentile side of the lake, in the Gospel of Luke 8:26-27.

Kimberleigh Buchanan: Healing Faith

The Rev. Dr. Kimberleigh Buchanan (UCC)

Dr. Kim Buchanan helps us find ourselves in the difficult and potentially hopeless situation the woman suffering from hemorrhages was in when she came to Jesus with a desperate faith. When Jesus became aware that healing power had gone out from him and asked who touched him, maybe his question wasn’t for information but was an invitation to the woman to testify about her healing, and about her own faith which made that healing possible.

Ellen Richardson: The Man with the Withered Hand

The Rev. Dr. Ellen Richardson (TEC)

In her sermon, Dr. Ellen Richardson says Jesus broke the rules to heal people, to restore them to a fullness of life denied by their afflictions, you told us. His healing was a way of entering into the suffering of others, a response not of pity, but of empathy. This is how the man with the withered hand was healed--and he came out of the shadows and into the light.

David Hodges: To Move, To Touch, To Heal

The Very Rev. David Hodges (TEC)

In Mark 1:20-39, Jesus tells his disciples that he is supposed to proclaim the message. But the Rev. David Hodges says that proclaiming the message means not just telling people what the kingdom of God is, but showing them--by reaching out and touching people who, because of their disease, their behavior, or their demons, were suffering.

Ruth Hamilton: Keeping the Sabbath Holy

The Rev. Dr. Ruth Hamilton (ELCA)

The Rev. Dr. Ruth Hamilton says in Luke 13 Jesus points out to the hypocritical religious leaders that they really did not understand God’s will regarding the Sabbath--helping others was not a violation. Keeping the Sabbath holy is really about worshiping God by releasing people from bondage and giving them new lives so that they too can praise God.

A Meeting on the Shore: The Power of Showing Up!

The Rev. Dennis Patterson, Jr. (TEC)

The Rev. Dennis Patterson encourages us to be careful how we treat people because we never know what they are going through. All people, regardless of their race, class, or situation, deserve to be treated as children of God and nothing less. Jesus demonstrates this advice as he deals with the demoniac in Luke 8.
