Listen "The Good News of Death Threats"
Episode Synopsis
Jesus shocked His followers when He said His coming would bring division, even within families. What could that possibly mean? In this sermon we explore how the love of God sometimes disrupts before it heals.We turn to the prophet Micah, the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and the witness of Jonathan Daniels who gave his life for justice in Selma. We also reflect on our church’s call to host the area’s first Pride festival — an act of radical welcome that feels like joy to some and disruption to others.This sermon reminds us that the gospel is always good news for the hurting, even if it unsettles those who prefer the status quo. Because sometimes love unites. Sometimes love divides. But always, love saves.
