Sermon | Where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you? | Easter B7 | Acts 1:15-17&21-26; 1 John 5:9-13;John 17:6-19  

The end is not near it's here. We enter the last sermon for our Hosea series and our last sermon for the Prophet and the Prostitute: Or how I came to love the American church again. 

Hey y'all, we are 2 weeks away from the end of the Hosea study and I make a plea to the American Church. 

Hey y'all, we return to Hosea with chapters 9 and 10. I keep combining chapters because honestly, this disstrack needs to end soon. I talk about Christian and politics in this one, so if I offend you, I apologize (I apologize that you are offended but not about what I say). 

Easter Homily for 2021 -- Scripture: Mark 16: 1-8, John 20:1-18, and 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 -- Poem Maya Angelou - Still I rise (Copyright 1978). 

Good Friday homily for April 2nd 2021. This is a short homily I wrote for NCKC back in 2019. The refrain that is used for the ALL part of the homily: All Holy God, holy and strong, holy and immortal, have mercy upon us.

Scripture is Hosea 7 and 8. We continue our journey through the Lord's diss track against Israel through the Lord's prophet MC Hosea. I promise that we will get to more hopeful message soon. 

We are back for week 4! We talk through Hosea 5 and 6. The sermon title is from one of my favorite Christian screamo bands, Emery, and really has nothing to do with the sermon but I got tired of using Derek Webb song lyrics. Also, I address the Mass Murder in Atlanta, so prepare for a heavy sermon. 

We are back for week 3 of Hosea chapter 4 (I know a bit confusing). This marks a change in the book away from the narrative of Homer (remember the celebrity name I gave Hosea and Gomer) and into the sermons against Israel by the prophet Hosea. 

This week, we have the second sermon in our new series. We will be going through Hosea 2-3 and chatting through how we deal with our own desires versus the desire that God has given us. 

Hello everyone! NCKC is starting up it's new series The Prophet and the Prostitute (or how I came to love the American church again) starting with Hosea 1! I also make a reference to Derek Webb's album She Shall and Must Go Free and specifically to the song Wedding Dress by Derek Webb. Feel free to check them out and hopefully you enjoy the direction of the new series. 

Hey y'all, We are back! We are about to start a new series on Hosea but I thought I would record the Ash Wednesday Homily from last night. The Scripture that was used: Joel 2:1-2, 12-17; Isaiah 58:1-12; Psalm 51:1-17; 2 Corinthians 5:20b-6:10; Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21. 

Sermon | Rules for Thee and not for Me | Proper A26 | Matthew 23:1-12, 1 Thessalonians 2:9-20, Micah 3:5-12.  I definitely make way too many references to LOTR and Jim Henson's the Labyrinth. Sorry, not sorry. 

Sermon | The world equals skubalon | Exodus 20:1-4, 7-9, 12-20; Philippians 3:4b-14; Matthew 21:33-46

Proper 21A --  If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Scripture: Exodus 17:1-7, Psalm 25, Philippians 2:1-13, Matthew 21:23-32

Sermon for Proper A Week 16 (Lectionary talk).  Scriptures used: Psalms 124, Isaiah 51:1-6, Romans 12:1-8

We are almost there. We are at Mark 15, the last chapter before the end and today, we talk about Crucifixion and the importance of Christ sacrifice. Be blessed this week. 

We are getting so close to the end of our Human Bible study, ending 14:43-72 in this sermon. Yes, I took my sermon title from a Run the Jewels song. Also, yes, I do break down in this sermon. It's a long one, so there is no Scripture lead in but please, listen. It's an important one. 

We continue on our Human Bible Study with Mark 14:1-42. I was a bit late getting this one out but it's a good one. We are nearing the end and Christ has his last meal and well, we finally talk a lot about sin and more important, our forgiveness from that sin. 

We find ourselves in Mark 13 for the Human Bible Study where we run into another divine appointment. It seems that the Lord has gone before us and planned that we would dealing with systems and the tearing down of those systems, well just about the time those things are happening in the United States. Also, we have talk about end times. So you know, very relevant things. 

We are in Mark 12 this week for our Human Bible Study. I go off script a lot because of what is happening in our nation right now and wanting to address it. No scripture lead in either because once again, I go long.  Be blessed this week. 

We continue our Human Bible Study with Mark 11, where we have another Markan sandwich, this time fig flavored. No scripture lead, since it got a bit long! 

We continue our Human Bible Study through Mark this week finding ourselves in Mark 10:17-52, where we get to talk about wealth, power, and authority. 

We continue our Human Bible Study with a guest preacher! We get to hear from Rev. Michael Wiltshire this week as he preaches on Mark 9:30-10:16. Also, he had nothing to do with the sermon title. I totally made that up for him. Also, he read the scripture as well. Needless to say, I had nothing to do with this sermon...well beyond giving it an awesome name.
