Twenty First Sunday After Pentecost - Rev. William H. Lamar IV


Listen Later

This week Rev. William H. Lamar IV explores the profound significance of dreams in the context of spirituality, community, and liberation. He emphasizes the importance of gratitude, understanding Jesus' purpose, and the role of dreams in guiding individuals and communities toward freedom. Rev. Lamar highlights the biblical figure Joseph as a dreamer who played a crucial role in protecting Jesus, and he calls for a church that nurtures and cultivates dreams for a better future.


This week's scripture - Matthew 2:13
13 Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.”
