    The Easter Ellipsis…

    A sermon for Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, offered at the Episcopal Church of the Messiah in Heflin, Alabama. Principal text: Mark 16:1-8 “Now what we want at this point is to hear how the women left that tomb and did as they were instructed. We want to hear how they proclaimed the news that Jesus had risen. We want to hear how they encounter the risen Jesus in the garden or on the road. But that is not what the gospel of Mark gives us. Instead we hear that the women did leave the empty tomb—amazed and afraid. They said nothing… As the listener, we are left wondering if the gospel writer lost his train of thought. We are left wondering what was maybe left out. What could this ellipsis mean?” This is a public episode.

    To the end

    It has been a few years since I’ve had the chance to preach on Good Friday. I was grateful to join St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Birmingham for their observance of Good Friday. Principal Text: John 18:1-19:42 “The coming of Jesus’ hour means that we are coming to the end of the story. We are coming to the point, the aim, the goal of Jesus’ mission. It also means that we are going to witness the fullest extent of love.” This is a public episode.

    Midwives & The Philadelphia Eleven

    A sermon for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost, August 27, 2023, offered at the Church of the Messiah in Heflin, Alabama. Principal text: Exodus 1:8-2:10 "In our history books, women are often relegated to the position of supporting characters, when they are remembered at all. But on this day when we recall the powerful witness to God of the defiance of Shiphrah and Puah, I hope we can also not forget the women of our more recent history, like the Philadelphia Eleven, and hear an invitation to look for the powerful women at work in our current struggle."

    What would Jesus do?

    A sermon offered for the 12th Sunday after Pentecost, August 20, 2023, at the Church of the Messiah in Heflin, Alabama. Principal text: Matthew 15: (10-20), 21-28. "So whatever it means to be Jesus, son of David, incarnate God, it means that Jesus walks on water and calms the storm on one day, and the next day that same Jesus is challenged by a Canaanite woman and has his mind changed. It is incarnationally complicated." This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit kelleyhudlow.substack.com

    Signs of victory

    A sermon for the Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday, April 2, 2023, offered at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Alabaster, Alabama. "The cross is not just about forgiveness of our personal sins, though that is part of it. The cross is not about sorting out who is sufficiently righteous and faithful to be a Christian because that is none of us. The cross is a stumbling block only if we make it anything less than the awesome victory of God and the salvation of the world." I have been MIA for a few weeks.

    Holy Interruption

    A sermon for Christmas Eve, December 24, 2022, offered at the Church of the Messiah in Heflin, Alabama. Principal Text: Luke 2:1-20 I've only been in one Christmas Pageant in my life where I played both the Christmas Star and the Angel of the Lord. I relished my part as a holy interruptor providing crucial information for the story that was playing out below. Little did I know that I was going to give my first and best Christmas sermon when I was in second grade. This is a public episode.

    Another Christmas Story

    A sermon for the 4th Sunday of Advent, December 18, 2022, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Greensboro, Alabama. Principal text: Matthew 1:18-25 “Matthew’s Christmas, without the familiar and comfortable manger scene, reminds us that Christmas is about God coming to us and God with us. Christmas is about the beginning of the recreation of the world. It challenges us to act beyond our current understanding of righteousness and compassion. It challenges us to give up our expectations of what God should be doing.” This is a public episode.
