  • Thursday Check-In | John Gallaher: Fear vs. Faith

    Thursday (7/23) Noon Check-In

    Embrace Church, Lexington, KY

    Topics Covered:
    -Moving from fear to faith.
    -Fear clings, faith lets go.
    -Prayer focus for today: "Unity: for unity and cooperation despite differences."

    Quote:
    “The moment we get frightened our mind...grabs for anything that promises stability, and clings to it. From this angle, we might get a clearer view of the relationship between faith and beliefs. Faith, at heart, is fearless trust. When we lose heart, faith weakens and fear mounts. But a fearful mind will compulsively cling to some support. Religious beliefs are readily at hand. They seem to be more stable than anything else we could grab. And so, as faith grows weaker, we clutch our beliefs more and more tightly, more and more rigidly. Sometimes you meet people who seem so compulsive in their efforts to convince everyone about their faith. It sounds too much like whistling in the dark. A person of genuine faith can afford to be far more at ease. Genuine belief holds its beliefs firmly, yes, but ever so lightly.”
    -David Steindl-Rast (Gratitude, the Heart of Prayer)

  • Sermon (July 12, 2020) | John Gallaher: Genesis (Part 6): Let God Turn it All Upside-Down!

    Embrace Sunday Gathering (11am, July 12, 2020)

    Lexington, KY

    Scripture: Genesis 25:19-30

    Sermon: Genesis (Part 6): Let God Turn it All Upside-Down!

    Quotes:

    “Primogeniture is not simply one rule among many. It is the linchpin of an entire social and legal system which defines rights and privileges...But that same practice which protects the order of society is also a way of destining some to advantage and others to disadvantage.”

    -Walter Brueggemann

    "[Primogeniture] claims that some have “natural rights” which cannot be questioned. From that assumption of “natural rights,” a whole theory of societal relationships is derived. In most societies, that network of rights and privileges is taken as normative and ordained of God. It is the way order is maintained. It determines the criteria for justice and equity. It is a way by which social privilege is established and authorized beyond question.”

    -Walter Brueggemann

    God disrupts the way human society is organized by categories of privilege given in birth order. God subverts long-held cultural traditions and laws establishing the priority of the eldest son, because the ways of God are never business as usual.” (Renovare Study Bible)
