In this sermon, Chris explores Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) through the themes of joy, brokenness, and the responsibility that comes with privilege. You are invited to reflect on the image of heaven as a loud and joyful place, encouraged to find joy amidst life's challenges, and discuss the importance of recognizing and acting upon the privileges we hold. The narrative of Mary and Elizabeth serves as a powerful example of hope and divine intervention, culminating in a call to live out joy in a world that often feels broken.
This webinar is aimed to walk us through abolitionist theology and strategies that allow us to participate in each other’s healing.

In this sermon, I explore the themes of generosity, stewardship, and the importance of community engagement.
I emphasize the power of repetition and discipline in forming habits, the significance of understanding God’s generosity, and the call to serve marginalized communities.
I also address navigating crises and the opportunities that arise within chaos, highlighting God’s limitless generosity and the importance of collective action in demonstrating love and support for one another.
