Sermons of Shaynor Newsome: formerly with Baylor RUF and now at Cascade Pres, Eugene, OR.
Luke 1.26-38 “The disappointment, bokenness, suffering, and pain that characterize life in the present world is held in dynamic tension with the promises of future glory that is yet to come. In that Advent tension the church lives its life.” —Fleming Rutledge
Genesis 32.22-32 “Is it possible, I wonder, to say that it is only when you hear the Gospel as a wild and marvelous joke that you really hear it at all? Heard as anything else, the Gospel is the church's thing, the preacher's thing, the lecturer's thing. Heard as a joke—high and unbidden and ringing with laughter—it can only be God's thing...Blessed is he who is not offended that no [one] receives what he deserves but vastly more. Blessed is he who gets the joke, who sees the miracle.” — Frederick Buechner
Genesis 18.1-15 “Is it possible, I wonder, to say that it is only when you hear the Gospel as a wild and marvelous joke that you really hear it at all? Heard as anything else, the Gospel is the church's thing, the preacher's thing, the lecturer's thing. Heard as a joke—high and unbidden and ringing with laughter—it can only be God's thing...Blessed is he who is not offended that no [one] receives what he deserves but vastly more. Blessed is he who gets the joke, who sees the miracle.” — Frederick Buechner
