040526 Sermon Podcast - What Is the Miracle? by Rev. David Miller

In John 13:34–35, Jesus centers love as the defining commandment: love one another as I have loved you. Rev.

032226 Sermon Podcast - What NOT to Pay Attention to by Rev. David Miller

Instead of paying attention to every falsehood and unscrupulous morality served up to us, Senior Minister Rev. David Miller offers the words of Bell Hooks to help illustrate where our attention must go: "To be truly visionary, we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality." This means "we desperately need to think about, strategize, pray about, plan, build relationships for, hope for, design, act on behalf of, and bring about as soon as humanly possible, what needs to come next." Full rebroadcast Mon & Tue, 7pm, uucf.org/streaming.

031526 Sermon - Hey, What's That? by Rev. David Miller

Rev. David Miller reminds us that "The world needs us. But the world also needs us to pay attention to it ... all of it. Because when we allow ourselves to let moments of awe inspire us, we are reminded why this world and its fragile miracles are worth all the risks that may come with the radical need for acts of love and justice."
