Sermons from the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer episodes

  • The Thing About Star Wars... - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "We allow ourselves to be influenced by people that we trust
    and care about, and that's good. We foster relationships of connection and
    interdependence, which is something that we've got to continue to develop in
    our lives. We've got to stop talking about independence and start thinking
    about interdependence and connection. And, the way we build that is we allow
    someone into our hearts and we allow them to change the way we see the world."
    John 1:6-8,19-28
    20 min
  • Tough Mudder - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "This is not 'repent or God won't love you anymore.' This is 'Jesus
    is coming with love, to care for you, to save you, to liberate you from your
    sins so that you can live into a life of love...' Period. We are all going to
    finish this race together. That is the good news of Jesus Christ. We, this world,
    dark as it seems, scary and painful as it is, we are going to finish this
    together, with God. The knowledge of that makes it possible for us to repent."
    Mark 1:1-8
    17 min
  • Shared Stories - The Rev. Joyce Keeshin
    "Each of us has our stories, and only we can tell them. And,
    it means so much when we are able to share them with someone else, because it
    deepens that other person's awareness of Christ's movement... awareness of who
    the other person is. It's a beautiful thing to share. Each of us is unique. Only
    we can tell our stories. And, we know when we do, we are telling the story of
    another child of God."
    Mark 1:1-8
    16 min
  • Keeping Watch - The Rev. Nancy Hopkins-Greene
    "But, we too need to know that somehow all shall be well in
    the end. And in the meantime, we're keeping watch. Jesus says we'll never know
    the hour. But, we do know that Christ came. Christ keeps coming into our lives,
    and we keep watch for those little glimpses of grace, and glimpses of glory"
    Mark 13:24-37
    18 min
  • I Miss You Already - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "You've got to be open to falling in love with Jesus.
    Really. Not as an idea. Not as a concept. Not as some sort of broad, bland,
    saying 'I believe in goodness and justice and love.' I believe in goodness and
    justice and love, that's great. You can't fall in love with a concept... not
    really. You can idealize it. You can hold it up. You can say 'look at this. This
    is what it's supposed to be.' But, you fall in love with people. We've
    got to be open to the possibility that Jesus is real, and that you can have a
    relationship with Jesus. That Jesus is someone you can fall in love with."
    Mark 13:24-37
    21 min
  • Our Counter-Cultural King - The Rev. Nancy Hopkins-Greene
    "We often talk about how we want people to come here and we
    will welcome them, and that's so true, we're so good. But, how about seeking
    out, gathering, leading, feeding, out in the world. This is certainly an
    invitation for all of us, and it is one more step toward the kingdom of Christ's
    reign."
    Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24
    Matthew 25:31-46
    25 min
  • Bad Babies - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "This isn't what it means to be a good person. This is what it means for us to be the Church. This isn't about us getting to heaven when we die because we did the right things. This is about us recognizing heaven present right here. That's what justice looks like. That's what love is... recognizing God, beauty, and the blessing in the people right in front of you. Not for who you'd like them to be. Not for who they might could be one day... but for who they are right now. When you do that, you are the body of Christ."
    Matthew 25:31-46
    21 min
  • Our Stories - The Rev. Joyce Keeshin
    "We may repeat our cycles of forgetting who God is. We may
    repeat our cycles of falling into sin. We may repeat our cycles of needing to
    step back and remember... remember who God is... remember that everything we have,
    however it compares to anything else, that everything is gift from God. We may
    feel stuck at times. We may fail to see what's right in front of us. And yet
    through it all, God is with us. We need only remember that. That God is with
    us."
    Matthew 25:14-30
    22 min
  • Forgetting God - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "Are we going to be faithless, wicked, lazy servants of God
    sometimes? Yeah! Are we going to forget who God is even though we should
    remember? Yes! Are we still learning who God is every day, even amidst this
    life, we should know it perfectly, are we still figuring it out? Of course. The
    stories we have are of a God who, when we can't figure it out, when we cry out
    to God for help, God comes. God shows up. God helps. God connects. God's
    presence is made known."
    Judges 4:1-7
    Matthew 25:14-30
