David Hodges: To Move, To Touch, To Heal

Mark 1:29-39

5th Sunday after Epiphany - Year B

February 04, 2018

The Rev. David Hodges (TEC)

 

Providing healing and hope to children and families. This is something that I think and speak a lot about in the work I do through the ministry of Saint Francis Community Services. Healing and hope are the cornerstones of the mission of Saint Francis and one of the ways we offer healing and hope is through work that takes place in our psychiatric residential treatment facility. This facility focuses on the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children who have experienced severe trauma. Children who are admitted to the facility bring with them everything that is adversely impacting their lives. The demons that some of them have known, and continue to know, are very real.

Ruth Hamilton: Keeping the Sabbath Holy

Luke 13:10-17

14th Sunday after Pentecost - Year A

When I was growing up, Sundays meant church, family, and food. My extended family would gather at our congregation for worship, armed with giant Tootsie Rolls to keep us kids quiet during the sermon. Afterwards, we would head over to my grandmother's house for a quick snack of cream-filled coffee cake. Later we all drove over to the cemetery, where we would tidy up the graves of our relatives: planting, watering, weeding, and sweeping dirt off the headstones. Tired and hungry, we would return to my grandmother's house, where roast pork or roast beef waited--after table grace, of course. Finally, after games of hide-and-seek for us kids and lots of conversation, everyone would go home for bedtime prayers and sleep.

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.

In Repair

The Rev. Dr. Guy Sayles (CBF)

The Rev. Dr. Guy Sayles suggests that Paul's teaching in Ephesians 4:1-16 can lead us into experiencing our churches as a safe place where a Spirit-fueled give and take in life can occur, where we can equip and encourage one another to stretch and grow in our faith, repair our brokenness, and restore our lives.

Mark Sargent (UMC)

Day1 Host Peter Wallace sits down for the second installment of his conversation with the Rev. Mark Sargent as they discuss an issue close to Mark's heart: Religious Wounding. Mark's understanding of human psychology, and work as a pastor, has led him to believe that a form of spiritual and emotional trauma is prevalent in today's world and is partially to blame for the lack of interest in Christian institutions, and in some cases ideals, today.
