We have a choice to make. As Americans, as humans, there is no doubt we are at the crossroads. Which way will we go? I asked that question of the Rev. Dr. Luke Powery, desperately wanting an answer that will make me want to get out of bed in the morning. Of course, nothing is that easy, but through the twists and turns of our conversation, I came out on the other side with a sense of optimism. And yes, hope.Powery is an author, singer, renowned preacher and the first Black Dean of The Duke University Chapel. So much of what he had to say resonated with me, but one statement in particular stood out: "Our technology has outpaced our humanity. We can go to space, but we can't make space for one another." That statement and many others took my breath away. He quoted W.E. B. Du Bois and Emily Dickinson. He shared jaw dropping experiences of how he's perceived as a Black man in America, despite his Stanford, Princeton and Duke credentials. And he framed it all in the context of confronting our pain on a path that leads to hope.It's the holiday season and we all want to feel that familiar sense of wonder and hope. But it's 2020. If you are struggling with the chaos and division that define this year, give yourself the gift of Dr. Powery's perspective and words of wisdom.

Today's sermon, “If We Are Silent”, is by Dr. Luke Powery, Dean of the Duke Chapel.

"If We Are Silent"

Luke Powery explores the way that text and context relate in the sermon, advocating for fusing the biblical world and our world without judgment. "When it comes to the judgment that a preacher could pass down on the things that are happening in culture, that's where I think there are some possible dead read more...

Luke Powery expounds on the problem of using the language and models of business to characterize the ministry of the church. "No one went to seminary to learn how to run a meeting ...  We came to seminary to learn about ministry, to serve God's people, to get connected to what God's doing in the read more...

Luke Powery argues that a limited imagination of who God is and what God can do limits the ministry of the church and its vision for the future. "If we are a resurrection people, an Easter people, anything is possible.  Just like the open grave, the future is not closed, it's open." read more...

Luke Powery discusses when a text moves the preacher to preach counter-culturally and the tension involved in that undertaking. "How does one preach against the powers when one is propped up by the powers?  And I think I just live in that tension." read more...

Luke Powery advocates for the necessity of preaching lament and discusses how to accomplish this within the sermon. "One can name the trouble in the world, but that's not the same as lamenting it in the sermonic moment." read more...

Luke Powery explores what it is like to preach to someone whose dreams have died and how the community works to open that person up to God's dream for them. "God's dream [for the world] is never dead ...  It lives on and ultimately we have the cosmic redemption of all of creation." read more...

Luke Powery advocates for the necessity of imagination for living into God's future for us. "Without an imagination, we probably couldn't have any hope." read more...

Luke Powery points out the story of the Gerasene Demoniac and the ending of Mark as moments of opportunity for preaching the Gospel of Mark. "[The shorter ending of Mark] is so open-ended that we recognize that the story ends with us, that we have to go and proclaim this resurrection." read more...
