Richmond's First Baptist Church

Jim Somerville's homily from Wednesday, March 16, 2016.

Jim Somerville: "Dory Previn was a singer, songwriter, and poet who once wrote a song called, 'Did Jesus Have a Baby Sister?' The lyrics start off like this: Did Jesus have a baby sister? Was she bitter? Was she sweet? Did she wind up in a convent? Did she end up on the street?"

Jim Somerville's "Talkback" from Sunday, March 6, 2016.

Jim Somerville: "...On the surface our Gospel lesson for today, the Parable of the Prodigal Son, seems like nothing more than that: a story about a father who had two sons, lost one of them, and then got him back again. But dig a little deeper and you begin to find all sorts of treasure in this trove..."

Jim Somerville's "Talkback" from Sunday, February 28, 2016.

Jim Somerville: "...Every time I’ve hosted something like [Talkback], where people are free to ask anything they want, someone will eventually ask, in one way or another: 'Why do bad things happen to good people?' It is the most perplexing theological problem or our time."
