The Easy Way Out

The Easy Way Out

This sermon was preached twice in 2012. the first time was March, location most likely at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Chicago the 2nd time was in May at Faith Community MB Church on the westside of Chicago

Your Faith Has Saved You

I preached this sermon last year at Trinity AME Church in Waukegan IL, where Rev. Barb Brown is the pastor Oh what a great time was had praising God

Being Breathed Upon By God

To date, this is my most popular sermon, preached 6 times for a variety of occasions. It contains excerpts of The Gift that Keeps on Giving the first preaching was in 2006 For the People of Color Awards in the Gary IN Diocese. the second preaching was in 2008 on the 2nd Sunday of Easter 10 years later I used an edited version for the 2018 Young Adult Summit hosted by the NCYAMA - National Catholic Young Adult Ministry Association in February of 2014 I preached a version for Fr. Richard Fragomeni’s installation to Full Professor at Catholic Theological Union Chicagothe final time was May 2021 for Partnered in Mission and included this introduction: I am anchoring this talk in the context of me, an African-American Roman Catholic woman, born in the United States in 1962. It is my hope that you enter in and find discomfort, challenge, joy, community, love, authentic witness, yourself. I find it interesting that this is the 4th sermon to use John 20:19-23 After you listen, send me a note telling me why you think this sermon was popular

You Have Been Asked to Go

this sermon was first preached some where in 2004. I have nothing by the year listed. Based on the scripture text, I will say that it was a Pentecost sermon What is interesting is that this is the 3rd sermon that uses the same scripture text. Well in this case we include a few more verses. I wonder why I never noticed this before? The 2nd time it was preached at Faith Community MB Church June 2014

Peace Be With You

* This sermon has been preached twice. * the first time was Pentecost 2008 at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Chicago, now Our Lady of Africa  * the 2nd time was June 2017 at Faith Community MB Church * this sermon has not changed over the years.  an interesting fact is that this is the same scripture text as the previous episode, and yet I went into an entirely different direction. See if you notice. * it won’t be Pentecost when you hear this sermon, but Jesus will still speak peace over you
