The Rev. Phil Brochard
The sermon critiques the idea of an “AI Jesus” as a modern expression of
human loneliness and longing for connection. Drawing on John 14, it
explains that Jesus’s promise of “many dwelling places” is not about a
physical heaven but about ongoing relational presence. “I am the way, the
truth, and the life” is presented not as exclusion but as an invitation
into trust and connection. The sermon concludes that Christ is encountered
not in artificial substitutes but in community, shared care, and human
relationships.
