Wisdom and Doubt
Dean of the Seminary
Professor of New Testament
March 7, 2014
Exploratory Weekend
Proverbs 8:1-11
James 1:5-7; 3:13-18
Doubts are not all bad—sometimes they serve very useful purposes. Some kinds of doubt actually serve a useful purpose. Doubt can be the still small voice causing us to question our choices. Doubt can be the messenger from above prompting us to question the wisdom we receive from the world and measure it against the standards of God. Listen to the sermon. Read the sermon in PDF.

Contending with the Beast
Lewis O. Brogdon
Assistant Professor of New Testament and Black Church Studies
Director of the Black Church Studies Program
November 8, 2013
Revelation 13:1-10
Apocalyptic images are not just helpful for the ancients as they sought to make sense of their suffering and poverty. These images are helpful in my attempt to describe what has proceeded out of the waters of the Middle Passage, centuries of colonialism, slavery, and racism. I believe the beast re-emerged and stands before us today. This sermon explores the importance of this image for the church today in the struggle against systemic evils like racism. In the end, this text calls for three things: a realistic faith, a relevant faith, and a resistant faith. Listen to the sermon.

Opposite Day
Gerald Liu
Visiting Professor of Worship
November 1, 2013
Luke 6:20-31
The message suggests that grasping the blessings and woes in Luke and "Doing unto others as we would have them do unto us" means playing a game of opposites. Followers of Jesus must learn to love their enemies and live lives oriented toward the promises of God instead of human judgment. Listen to the sermon.
