| Sermon in a sentence: | We are called to stay awake to the story of the God who has liberated Hebrew slaves from Egypt; the God, revealed in Jesus, who stood against the power structures of Roman and taught his disciples to do so; the God who liberated slaves in the American South; the God who is still speaking today -- to remind us, the church, that we are the people charged with remembering the God of liberation in our day. | This is a question we all need to answer for ourselves. My theology is largely panentheist, which means one way of describing God is "God is that in which all is." | Prayer, for me, is one way I have a personal relationship with God. Prayer is about aligning myself with God's purpose, rather than about getting God to intervene for my purposes. | ||

| Sermon Ideas: | God doesn’t need to be a "personal Being" in order for me to have a personal relationship with God. | My language of prayer seldom lines up with my theology. It's still a struggle for me. | |||
