Scott’s Thoughts: Sermons Online

Sermons Online

>> Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Several folks from Arizona have written me and asked if I'll ever get my sermons online. The answer is now "yes." If you visit our church web site (www.hopecf.net), you'll see a link on the left where you can listen to the audio of the most recent message. Right now we're just posting one sermon at a time, and it's only up for a week at a time. At some point we'll look into fully podcasting the sermons, archiving whole series, etc. (Also, the new web site is very much a work in progress; a lot more is coming...)

"Real theological thinking, which is thinking with the mind of Christ, is hard to find in the practice of ministry. Without solid theological reflection, future leaders will be little more than pseudo-psychologists, pseudo-sociologists, pseudo-social workers. They will think of themselves as enablers, facilitators, role models, father or mother figures, big brothers or big sisters, and so on, and thus join the countless men and women who make a living by trying to help their fellow human beings to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday living.

"But that has little to do with Christian leadership because the Christian leader thinks, speaks, and acts in the name of Jesus, who came to free humanity from the power of death and open the way to eternal life. To be such a leader it is essential to be able to discern from moment to moment how God acts in human history and how personal, communal, national, and international events that occur during our lives can make us more and more sensitive to the ways in which we are led to the cross and through the cross to the resurrection."

(Henri J. M. Nouwen, In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership (New York: Crossroad, 1998) pp. 65-67
