+ My favorite Street Pastor said the following in "Jesus Goes Viral," his Sunday sermon: "Like John, Andrew, and Simon, I too have experienced Jesus as surprising, inviting, and revealing. Growing up in the Bible belt of the American south, I came to think of Jesus as a fiery judge. I was afraid of him. But as I grew to know him better through the Scriptures, I heard his stories of the lost sheep and the prodigal son. I saw him forgiving sinners and befriending the outcast. Like John the Baptist, I was surprised at who Jesus turned out to be. Like Andrew, I found him to be a warm and welcoming person who wants to be close to us. In time, I came to think of Jesus as my friend. Instead of fearing him, I grew to love him." Read the whole sermon.
+ "Prophet, Artist, Fisherman," John Shuck's sermon honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. is a real gem. Excerpt: "Prophetic energizing is imagination. It is the imagination of the artist. It is the imagination of the fisherman who discovers he is an artist. It is an imagination that looks to the future and sings we will overcome. The language of the poet is the language of the prophet. It is the language of hope." Read the whole sermon.
