    Nov. 17, 2024 - Between what was...and what is not yet

    The scriptural text for this Sunday was from the 13th chapter of Mark's gospel, from a section known as the "little apocalypse." This homily seeks to help us place our current situations--our hopes, our fears, our joys, and our anxieties--within the larger context of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I have drawn on a number of commentaries and resources, not the least of which is "Synthesis," a periodical for preaching published by Sewanee in the 1980's and 1990's. - Rev. David B. Powell For episode transcripts and more about Grace Episcopal Church, visit online at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gracechurchgainesville.org⁠/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    Nov. 10, 2024 - It is a question of what sustains us

    Where do we place our trust in a world filled with uncertainty? The Widow of Zarephath reminds us that true sustenance and security are found not in political leaders or earthly powers, but in our unwavering faith in God. Through a powerful call to spiritual reflection and recommitment, we are challenged to align our actions with the teachings of Christ and actively work towards a more just and compassionate world.  For episode transcripts and more about Grace Episcopal Church, visit online at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gracechurchgainesville.org⁠/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    This is Dr. Park’s farewell homily, offered on the occasion of her retirement from fulltime ministry in the Church. The lectionary readings assigned for this last Sunday before the Feast of All Saints include an historical reference in the Letter to the Hebrews about how the Law of Moses made space for “priests subject to weakness – including age”, a curious encounter between Jesus and a blind man in Mark’s gospel, and a “happily ever after” ending to Job’s story.

    Oct. 13, 2024 - I’m Sorry; What Was Your Question?

    The recent arrival of massive artificial intelligence in our culture has popularized the notion of algorithms that capture our interests and then curates our newsfeeds, the advertisements we receive, the music that we hear so that suddenly we are living in an echo chamber of our own likes and prejudices. Today’s gospel poses a different sort of formula for our lives, curated from the world that is God’s coming kingdom, a world oriented in sharp contrast to the world into which God’s kingdom comes, a world where the last get to go first, and a world in which Jesus is more interested in the questions we aren’t asking instead of the ones we ask.
