Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken: 4/7

Rev. Dr. Irie Session suggests that the story of Daniel could placed in the Bible for a reason other than to show the survival of one man from the death-dealing bite of lions. Why might it be in the Bible then? Let’s listen and see what she has to say.

Have you ever heard of the Wise Woman of Abel Beth-Maacah? Yeah, neither had we. She has a lot to say, though, about resistance to militarism and violence. Who are some wise women in your life?

Pray it Like You Stole it, Part Deux: 7/8

Eloi, Eloi, lama Sabachthani? My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? One of Jesus’ most famous prayers, the Prayer of Despair teaches us that we can pray that way too. Just like those of Jesus, our feelings are valid and god wants to hear them. We are not the first to feel forsaken. We are not alone.

Jesus prays for the next generation. If we’re doing it right, that should inform our ministry at Galileo.

Jesus prayed for his food! (Thank you, captain obvious!) And we really should, too. How can we reclaim the meaning behind that practice, and combat the meaninglessness that sometimes comes with mindless habits?

How to we pray in public, without saying “jist” all the time? And without piling on empty phrases, hoping others will hear? How is a public prayer like an e-mail, with our audience CCed on our message to God?

What happens to metaphors when we overuse them? Or when they become outdated, in a new time, a new culture? How do we pray as Jesus taught us, and keep our prayers relevant, at the same time?

Would you believe us if we told you that you already pray? We promise. You might not think you're "good" at it, but we don't think it's something to be "good" at it. It's something we just do. Like breathing. And pooping.

Seven 5/7: Sharing the Co-Conspiracy with Friends, Neighbors, and Enemies

"Evangelism" can be a loaded phrase. Lots of us, including our preacher for this week, have some baggage attached to it. What does it mean to be an evangelist like Jesus? On a large level, or a small level?

Seven 4/7: Cultivating Spiritual Gifts for the Life of the Church and Community

It's nice to think about what churches and non-profits and altruistic organizations do for justice, but sometimes it can feel like you, or me, can't do all that much. What does Jesus have to say about that? Listen and learn what the loaves and fishes mean for us, in our everyday participation with out church community.

Seven 1/7: Graciously Receiving Care

This series is on track with the Revised Common Lectionary (sort of). We use that sometimes, when it's right for our church in its current context.

This first one is on graciously receiving care from the Church, whether you're a high-up official with money and servants, or a lowly bleeding outcast with medical bankruptcy and a lot of reasons to hide. Which one are you?
