Worship Booklet Sermon The late Howard Thurman was the dean of the chapel at Howard University in Washington, D.C, and later at Boston University. He was a mystic, philosopher, theologian, educator, civil rights leader, and author. In his book, Jesus and the Disinherited, he tells the story about his grandmother, a former slave who, because she could not read, made him read the Bible to her in the evenings. He was free to choose any portion of the Bible, except for Paul’s epistles. Video of service
Worship Booklet Sermon “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” Is there room for the curious … those with questions … or even someone with doubts … is there room for a skeptic in the Church today? What is the Church to do with those who are seeking a faith experience yet feel as if the Church is not a safe place to ask questions? When you have a curiosity about what the Bible says, or a preacher’s interpretation of Holy Scripture … including mine … do you feel safe in expressing your query? Video of service
Worship Booklet Sermon Alleluia! Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia! What a beautiful day … even if it may rain later this afternoon! Easter celebrates new life and even here in St. Augustine seeing flowers and trees and plants come alive again after winter is one symbol of that new life. But today we celebrate more than flowers and budding trees. Today we celebrate the power of God to bring new life out of death, to give us joy instead of weeping, to empower our lives into wholeness after being broken. It is a joyous Easter Day! |
