Don’t Build a Ramp Into the Empire’s Pool
•
SMC preachers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When the systems of the Empire fail, we may follow our impulse to reform them; to make them more just. But our salvation will never ultimately come from the systems of Empire. We may (and must!) also follow the lead from Jesus: to notice those who have been abandoned for 38 long years, to engage those beloveds, and to seek and offer healing from an altogether different source.
Sermon begins at minute marker 2:28
