Listen "What Happens When Jesus Disrupts Business as Usual | Rev. Janna Osborne"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Janna Osborne on June 22nd, 2025
This sermon explores Luke's account of Jesus healing the demon-possessed man in Gerasene territory, where a herd of pigs rushes into the sea. While the healing brings liberation to one suffering man, the community reacts with fear and asks Jesus to leave. Mother Janna draws powerful parallels to our modern reluctance to embrace the gospel when it threatens established economic and political systems. Rather than celebrating God's power to heal, communities often prefer to manage and contain problems when true transformation would cost them profits or control. The sermon challenges listeners to proclaim Jesus as Lord even when it disrupts comfortable arrangements, referencing Bishop Doyle's recent statement and the historical Barmen Declaration against Nazi ideology.
