The family then experiences the darkest Christmas of their lives, propelling them south, to face an uncertain future in an empty house in the suburbs. A violent period unfolds for The Kearins, which includes a hammer, a hospital and a runaway girl. Then Danny and Darren explain why they called this “The Catholic Episode,” explore the nature of forgiveness and our attempts to stop a cycle of family dysfunction.

Hail, holy Queen enthroned above; O Maria! Hail, mother of mercy and of love, O Maria!Triumph, all ye cherubim. Sing with us, ye seraphim! Heav'n and earth resound the hymnSalve, salve, salve, Regina!Let the clapping begin!Sister Act isn't just a comedy. It's a celebration of sisterhood, resilience, and the joys you find in unexpected places. It brilliantly flips the script on the traditional representation of nuns, when lounge singer and mobster's girlfriend, Deloris van Cartier, is thrown into the world of convent life after witnessing a murder. Instead of the serene and pious behaviour expected of her, she brings a vibrant, modern flair to the convent that has everyone questioning their notions of faith and community. The new Sister Mary Clarence's vibrant personality clashes with the strict convent rules. From her unique take on the church choir to her interactions with the stern Reverend Mother who, of course, puts her in charge of the choir.Sister Act's iconic soundtrack not only makes you want to sing along, but also showcases how the power of gospel and Motown can turn a group of nuns into a sensational choir, transforming traditional Catholic hymns into toe-tapping gospel hits.But Sister Act wasn't always intended as a starring vehicle for Whoopi Goldberg, and nor did the screenplay end up how it started, but it did lead to the writer, Paul Rudnik, visiting a convent in rural Connecticut, hoping to meet with the only Catholic nun to be a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences...I would love to hear your thoughts on Sister Act !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Eine gute Entscheidung, dass Villeneuve wieder an Originalschauplätzen gedreht hat – was erst einmal wie eine mittelgute Pointe klingt, beschreibt die visuelle Qualität von DUNE und noch mehr von DUNE: PART TWO sehr gut. Der Film vermittelt tatsächlich den Eindruck, als hätte sich Villeneuve einfach gegen CGI entschieden, wäre nach Arrakis geflogen und hätte die Fremen überredet auf dem Wüstenplaneten vor die Kamera zu treten. Das bedeutet für mich als Zuschauer eine enorm immersive Illusion. Vergleichbar ist das – wenn überhaupt – nur mit der visuellen Dimension des ersten LORD OF THE RINGS von Peter Jackson im Fantasy-Genre und lässt alle anderen SF-Epen in dieser Hinsicht weit hinter sich.Frank Herberts Roman lässt sich durchaus missverstehen als Verherrlichung eines Feudalsystems und als Heldenkult – oberflächlich lässt sich Paul Atreides als White Saviour lesen, der kommt, um das religiös manipulierbare Wüstenvolk der Fremen zu befreien. Herberts kritische Ansätze über religiösen Fundamentalismus, Manipulation, Naturzerstörung, Ausbeutung, Faschismus und den rücksichtslosen Kampf der Eliten um wichtige Ressourcen, werden in der spannenden Handlung schnell überlesen. Villeneuve bemüht sich diese Kritik sichtbar zu machen: Paul spricht es mehrfach direkt an, dass es ihm als Außenweltler nicht zusteht, die Fremen zu führen. Und er weigert sich lange, seine Rolle in der politisch-religiösen Intrige der Bene Gesserit zu spielen.Villeneuve macht auch deutlich, dass der religiöse Fundamentalismus der Fremen das Ergebnis einer Manipulation durch eine Elite ist, der Film demaskiert Religion als Machtwerkzeug. Ein absoluter Gänsehaut-Moment, als Paul Atreides die Messiasrolle annimmt, um sie zu seinen Bedingungen auszufüllen. Während ich beim ersten DUNE noch mit Timothee Chamelet als Paul Atreides gefremdelt hatte (zu viel Kyle MacLachlan abgespeichert), hat er mich dieses Mal überzeugt als schlaksiger Königssohn, der zu früh und gegen seinen Willen erst in die Rolle des Herzogs, dann in die Rolle des Messias gedrängt wird – ein Hamlet der Wüste.Villeneuves DUNE: PART TWO ist auch ein Science-Fiction der starken und vor allem klugen Frauen: Die Bene Gesserit, die die toxisch-maskulinen Männer am Nasenring durch ihre Jahrhunderte alte Agenda ziehen, Pauls Mutter, die als Reverend Mother die Kontrolle übernimmt, die scharfsinnige Tochter des Imperators und vor allem Pauls Lebensgefährtin Chani, die sich (anders als in der Romanvorlage) gegen Pauls Heiligen Krieg stellt. Am Ende dieses zweiten Teils sind die Protagonisten ambivalent (Achtung SPOILER!): Die Überlebenden des Hauses Atreides werden das ganze Universum in einen Krieg mit vielen Millionen Toten führen, die edlen Freiheitskämpfer werden fanatische Werkzeuge eines Heiligen Krieges … Ich hoffe sehr, dass Villeneuve irgendwann einen dritten Teil dreht (der sich dann um DUNE MESSIAH drehen würde).Direkt nach dem Kino sind mitten in der Nacht vor dem Mikrofon: Johanna, Kathrin, Hendrik, Tom und Thomas. Wir diskutieren über Villeneuves Vertrauen in die Kraft seiner Bilder, ob das Epische ermüdet oder auch nicht, über Butlers Dschihad, Schauwerte und Bauchgrimmen, optischen Ekkletizismus, den visuellen Faschismus der Harkonnen, über abwesende Navigatoren und Christopher Walken als alter Imperator.
Jace and Colin discuss the highly anticipated Dune: Part 2, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Was it a serve? (Spoiler Alert... we loved it).
The prophecy comes true on this week's edition of the Movie Squad podcast. We are of course referring to the prophecy that Simon Miraudo and Cecilia Allen would review the long-awaited Dune Part 2 for the ‘Reverend Mother' of Breakfast, Pamela Boland. After Simon's review of the new Dune (which includes a recounting of Paul Atreides' numerous nicknames), Cecilia takes a look at the Oscar-nominated Tunisian documentary Four Daughters, about a family that saw half of its children defect to Islamic State. Both films are now in Australian cinemas. Keep listening for a pod-exclusive review of the Oscar-nominated Jeffrey Wright comedy American Fiction, now streaming on Prime Video. And tune into RTRFM 92.1 at 7:30am on Fridays for your regular broadcast of Movie Squad on the radio!
Comedienne, chanteuse, star, co-writer, and executive producer of HBO's Somebody Somewhere, and our favorite Manhattan, Kansas native, Bridget Everett shares the beloved classic, The Sound of Music. From watching the story of the von Trapps as the youngest of six kids, to how she sees it through the lens of her life and work today, Bridget dives deep into the timeless resonance of the movie and its music. We learn of her admiration for the naturalistic musicality of the film, and why Dame Julie Andrews is one of her favorite voices of all time.Plus, her love of Barry Manilow, why co-host John Cooper marched down Santa Monica Boulevard in heels, and what Reverend Mother and Ad-Rock have in common.

The Wyrd Mountain Gals Show Almost Live - Part2 Airs Sunday 11-27-22 7pm EST Questions (summarized): What is your knowledge concerning the Appalachian interconnected cave systems & their sigifigance concerning Appalachia traditions? Do you have a tradition of removing warts? What are your experiences with the Fey? Are you part of the NPR Story Corps? Alexander Carmichael - Carmina Gadelica - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Gadelica From a Reddit thread about Jessica of Dune's transmutation of the Spice into the Water of Life: "A Reverend Mother must have complete control of her body. A much higher degree of control than the average basic Bene Gesserit training (which requires control of every individual muscle and vocal chord). A Reverend Mother is essentially poisoned and must alter the molecular structure of the poison so that she may live. This proves her ultimate control over the very molecules of her body and the by-product of nullifying the poison is a powerful prescient drug that gives her permanent access to her genetic memory. This is an interesting concept from a Chemistry point of view because organic molecules are incredibly complex and their nature can be drastically altered with a slight adjustment. Beyond that however, I don't think there is any serious chemistry to examine, its all pseudo-chemistry as you said." https://www.reddit.com/r/dune/comments/asg0cd/jessicas_transformationthe_water_of_life https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0276872 NPR Story Corp - https://storycorps.org/about/ East Kentucky Mutual Aid Society https://www.facebook.com/groups/2557126217948530/ Cornbread Communism https://www.facebook.com/cornbreadcommunism/ We hope you enjoy this episode of Wyrd Mountain Gals.

Chapter 4: It's been a LONG time coming but finally you can listen to us discuss Paul's adult friends and ask ourselves why does Paul only have adult friends? Oh, the book tells us the answer? Good, good. Also Paul's flashback discussion with the Reverend Mother that is cut out of all the adaptations so far probably because it's too normal and real. About the show: Dune Buddies is your friendly, far ranging, far-fetched and maybe overly focused guide to Dune and its adaptations. Taking things chapter-by-chapter and scene-by-scene, as well as checking in with our friend who is a sci-fi neophyte reading Dune for the first time, as well as our other friends who might love/hate Dune as much as we do.Music: Doktor Zeus + his Phantastic OrchestraEnd music: "kull wahad" by BeNe GeSSeRiT***This is not a spoiler-free podcast (but we don't go too hard).***

In this episode, we take a look at chapters thirty-nine through forty of Chapterhouse: Dune, in which Odrade makes what she expects to be her final farewells to Chapterhouse and the Sisterhood as she journeys to her meeting with the Honored Matres, the Mother Superior's favorite pilot Clairby makes an unexpected appearance as the cyborg pilot for the trip to Junction, Miles oversees a devastatingly effective attack on Gammu, and Murbella intervenes in order to ensure that the Bene Gesserit's forces honor ancient agreements and take in the refugees from Rebecca's group - finally giving the wild Reverend Mother the chance to return the millions of memories from Lampadas that Lucilla had entrusted to her.

In this episode, we take a look at chapters thirty and thirty-one of Chapterhouse: Dune, in which Odrade continues working on getting what the Sisterhood needs out of Scytale, Sheeana arrives with long-awaited news about a new generation of sandworms, the Mother Superior must make a difficult choice about saving the life of her driver Clairby, and Murbella stands firm against any demands that she give up Duncan to become a Reverend Mother - which, it turns out, is exactly what Odrade wants.
Welcome to the first episode of We Are the Church! Adam and Brianna met with Roxane Lawler, or as her kids call her now the Reverend Mother. Roxane talks about her ministry life, growing up in with her family in a children's home and some fantastic stories about her very Scottish father.We hope you enjoy this inaugural episode of We Are the Church. If you would like to come on the podcast email us at office@gymeabaptist.org.au. We'd love for you to join us for one of our services this weekend. For more information on upcoming services please visit www.gymeabaptist.org.auAlso, be sure to follow Gymea Baptist Church on Facebook or Instagram to keep up with all we are doing.
In this episode, we take a look at chapters twenty-two through twenty-four of Chapterhouse: Dune, in which Odrade procrastinates on her responsibilities as she prepares to finally head to the desert to speak with Sheeana, Rebecca's people on Gammu are scattered and both she and the Rabbi are forced into hiding by agents of the Honored Matres, Murbella struggles to reconcile her desire to be a Reverend Mother of the Bene Gesserit with the love for Duncan that she will be expected to give up, and Duncan strives to construct a Mentat revelation from various conversations with Murbella and Odrade - including an odd encounter where Odrade burst into his room late at night to wax philosophical about the van Gogh painting she's weirdly obsessed with and convinced says something profound about humanity.
In this episode, we take a look at chapters sixteen through eighteen of Chapterhouse: Dune, in which Scytale has another frustrating conversation with the Mother Superior, Odrade wrestles with the effects of thinking like an Honored Matre, an exiled Reverend Mother returns from the planet of Buzzell with news of an intriguing offer, and Lucilla has a final conversation with Great Honored Matre…and finally oversteps in her antagonism of the Spider Queen.

In this week's Finding Harmony Podcast episode, you'll come to the confluence where Kundalini and Ashtanga yoga meet… In the heart of Sat Inder Khalsa: the Kwisatz Haderach. In this episode, we learn that in Frank Herbert's Dune Universe, a Kwisatz Haderach would be a male Bene Gesserit, who would have access to the memories of both his male and female ancestors, as well as an ability to bridge space and time with prescient ability... In other words, He would be Bene Gesserit, Reverend Mother, Mentat, and Guild Navigator, all in one. Our beloved Sat Inder is a devotee of the Divine Mother and shishya to her servant Yogavidananda. Sat Inder is an Authorized Ashtanga Yoga teacher, lover of mythology, a great storyteller, and a retired “Kundaloonie” (as he likes to say). No podcast historiography of Ashtanga Yoga would be complete without him as a guest! Enjoy this spectacularly irreverent take on what also happens to be a most sincere interest in spiritual paths and practices. Sat Inder tells us of his days as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, leaving the practice of Ashtanga yoga behind, only to have it come back to him again, calling him to Mysore, India. We talk about the Law of Attraction, his visit to the Kamakhya Temple in Assam, where he reset his energy and altered his understanding of devotion forever. Interestingly, he often contemplates death and mortality. And has found that this morbid obsession with impermanence has become a doorway to liberation and a constant reminder to live more fully. We hear of Sat Inder sitting on the Manikarnika ghat, (one of the two cremation sites in Varanasi), where visits with Aghoris, members of the mystical Hindu sect known for extreme rituals, devotees of Shiva manifested as Bhairava, as they illuminate his mind. Finally, we talk about the paradox inherent within the Ashtanga system: The attachment to the body, and yet the goal of becoming non-attached to the body. This episode may be triggering for some listeners, as we also asked Sat Inder about his personal experience of receiving the “mulabandha adjustment” from Pattabhi Jois on tour in 2000. This episode is a pot boiler, a bodice ripper, and a barn burner all in one!! Enjoy! And if you think this episode is good… you should catch the BONUS episode with Sat Inder!

This is a no-spoiler review. In advance of the new Dune movie, we thought it would be fun to revisit Dune and remember what made it great (and the things that aren't so great).The names are incredible - who can forget the Fremen, the Gom Jabbar, or the Reverend Mother? The writing, on the other hand - we wish we could forget the constant repetition, horrific dialogue, and ending that comes so fast it's over before you know it was even really happening.If you haven't the read Dune and want to decide whether to read it - this one's for you. Or, if you want to dig back into the book without re-reading the whole thing - this one's for you too.And, if you like Dune, we also recommend a few related books at the end of the episode: The Void Trilogy, Ender's Game, and The Vorkosigan Saga.

You could say there is scheming happening right under Paul’s nose in chapter 6. Irulan sneaks down to the basement jail to exchange hollow words with Gaius Helen Mohiam. We meet a new side of the Reverend Mother as no mercy is spared for Irulan. Cracks are starting to show in the conspiracy. I bet with the Dune Tarot we could see who comes out ahead.

As someone who loves to travel and explore, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the scene in The Sound of Music where the Reverend Mother urges the lovestruck and confused Maria to hit the pause button on her plan to become a nun and "climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow. . ." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKuqySkqhHw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKuqySkqhHw) There's sage advice in there, for sure. But, if you take the song too literally, it also sounds... exhausting! Luckily, we don't need to spend our days scaling snowy peaks to find purpose and meaning right here, right now. Further readingIn this episode, I reference the work of Dr. Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist, philosopher, and holocaust survivor. His autobiographical account of life in Nazi prizon camps, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%27s_Search_for_Meaning (Man's Search for Meaning), has inspired countless people to reclaim their sense of purpose.

If you assume, as I do, that sex work is legitimate work that should be destigmatized, then ideally it would be something that adults in the worker's family can discuss openly, honestly, and respectfully. Unfortunately, due to criminalization and stigmatization, that is far from standard in most families. Sex workers often report that one of the most difficult things about sex work is the need to hide it (and lie about to to keep it hidden) from family members; this “double life” can lead to a terrible feeling of isolation. For these reasons, I'm moved by the love and acceptance my friend and creative collaborator Ckiara Rose has been able to find with her mother and her son. Ckiara, 50, has done almost every kind of sex work since she started stripping at age 19, including escorting, brothel work in Nevada, and porn; she now focuses on sensual massage and professional Dominance. Ckiara's mother, Reverend Josephenie Robertson, 76, is an elder from the Miskitu people of Central America. Ckiara's son Saycsar Fleurima, 27, is a filmmaker. They work together as a family on activism for the human rights of Miskitos; Ckiara uses much of her funds from sex work to support her indigenous activism. To my knowledge, this is the first time an out sex worker has been interviewed alongside both her parent and her adult child. Josephenie is a devout Christian, and as she explains in this interview, had a difficult time coming to terms with her daughter's chosen profession. However, as is evident from the tenderness and humor in the interview, Josephenie has come to acceptance and love for Ckiara and her chosen life path—the same love and acceptance Sayscar has always felt for his mother and her work. The full video interview is being shared exclusively with the Daily Beast.

My guest today is Mother Suzanne Toro, one who embodies a compassionate and peaceful heart. In keeping with the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we recorded my conversation with Suzanne via Zoom. Suzanne is an Episcopal Priest, rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Cornwall, NY and although life has slowed down for many people, Suzanne admits that she has never worked harder since the outbreak of the coronavirus here in NY. Regardless of your religious/spiritual beliefs or non-beliefs, Mother Toro shares universal insights about connection, grace, courage, responsibility, growth and opportunity. She acknowledges that we are meaning-making-machines, seeking to make sense of life, yet in these strange times, when our lives have been turned up side down, we are immersed in so much uncertainty. Suzanne doesn’t pretend to know answers or how to make sense of this pandemic, but she knows that we are in this together; and sees how it is bringing us back to ourselves, and a deeper connection with one another for healing. May Suzanne’s open mind and warm heart provide comfort for all who are listening. Enjoy the podcast! Links: www.jackkornfield.com www.tarabrach.com St John's Episcopal Church

We always love to plug the work for anything that former actors that have worked with Clive Barker over the years. Today the podcast would like to share a trailer for the film Heretiks which stars Hellraiserand Hellbound actress Claire Higgins. She plays the role of Reverend Mother. It also stars Hannah Arterton, Michael Ironside, and Rosie Day. The film is directed and co-written by Paul Hyett who also made the werewolf thriller Howl and The Seasoning House. From Arrow In the Head: The story follows innocent young Persephone is falsely accused and put on trial for her life. Her fate seems sealed except for the timely intervention of the mysterious Reverend Mother offering her not just sanctuary, but hope. For the Reverend Mother is the self-appointed leader of a small religious retreat, a secluded Priory, where her fellow Sisters devote their lives to the Lord and seek atonement for their pasts. But upon arrival, Persephone is plagued with terrifying visions and soon realizes that it's not salvation that awaits but a battle for her very soul itself. Checkout the trailer for the film below: https://youtu.be/tfv0QAkjAGg It looks pretty creepy, but I hope they haven't spoiled the best parts in the trailer. We'll keep you updated as more news comes in. Thanks to Danny Stewart and Arrow In the Head.

Things are starting to get spicy in Dune, in more ways than one. In this week’s reading we get a glimpse into the lives of the evil Harkonnens and their evil ways. We are reminded that they are evil. Count Fenring tells a killer joke neither of our hosts “get.” Next is the ceremony for the Reverend Mother which, if Kris and Alia are not mistaken, ends in an all out orgy. Seriously?

There may be more-than-one theatrical franchise of musical plays that started out as a line of greeting cards showing nuns saying vaguely racy things, but if there is, it’s not anywhere as famous or as popular as the "Nunsense" shows by Dan Goggins. The first one appeared off Broadway in 1985. The show, in which the Little Sisters of Hoboken put on a fundraiser to bury the four dead sisters who are taking up space in the freezer - they died of botulism - was a mostly plotless assemblage of nun characters with funny names performing goofy nun-themed comedy sketches, some involving puppets, bingo games, or ballet dancing, all of it wrapped up in some truly catchy songs like "Nunsense is Habit forming," "Holier Than Thou," and "We’ve Got to Clean Out the Freezer." It all pokes gentle fun at Catholicism while also being one-hundred-percent pro-faith, pro-God, and pro-nun, especially nuns who make jokes about death, leprosy and the Apostle Peter. Since its debut, "Nunsense" has been performed all over the world, and miraculously, has given birth to several sequels and spinoffs, two of which are currently being performed by different theater companies in Sonoma County. "Nunsense: the Mega Musical," is essentially a rewrite of the original show, with some new musical numbers and a few additional onstage characters. Running through May 3rd at the Sonoma Community Center, in Sonoma, and produced by J Love Productions, the shiow’s highlights include Abbey Chamber’s soaring rendition of "I Just Wanna Be a Star," Sister Robert Anne’s bittersweet lament about missed opportunities, and Nora Chambers’ outrageous performance of "The Dying Nun Ballet," as interpreted by the convent’s resident novice Sister Mary Leo, who always wanted to be a ballet dancer. Also very funny is "So You Want to Be a Nun," performed with commitment and excellent comic timing by Julia Holsworth as Sister Mary Amnesia, who can’t remember anything ever since a crucifix fell on her head. In the song, she sings a duet with a nun puppet, who appears to be possessed. Eventually Sister Mary Amnesia recalls her former life as a country Western Singer and secret millionaire. That’s the funny thing about the Little Sisters of Hoboken. They all seem to have secrets, and were all once been performers. Even the Reverend Mother was once a tightrope walker, and still yearns to be in the spotlight. That’s more or less the point of "Nunsense II, the Second Coming," running through April 26 at the Raven Theater Windsor. The very first sequel to the original, Second Coming finds the sisters back on stage for a thank you show, after everything worked our favorably enough the first time. The dead sisters have been buried, and now the only problem is that Sister Mary Amnesia, played in Windsor by Cindy Brillhart-True, might have once been a Franciscan. And having been revealed to be a millionaire, the Franciscans now want her back. There is even less plot than the original, and the songs aren’t quite as catchy or as funny, but there is still plenty of entertainment value in seeing the Little Sisters again, all of them still wrestling with their secret desires to be famous. Sister Robert Anne, here played marvelously by Jeanine LaForge, is especially eager to prove herself, to great comic effect. The Windsor cast, all of whom have played these roles before, bring an extra dash of confidence and character-development to their parts, which is saying something with material this light and fluffy and essentially pointless. That said, even the Reverend Mother would agree that laughing, especially laughing at ourselves, is definitely never a sin. I’m David Templeton, Second Row Center, for KRCB.
Were people of habit. We like to do things the same way. We have our routines. We have our ruts as they are called, but there is a resistance to change. Its just part of our nature. Its how we are wired. There are also those who want to be agents of change and want to see change happen. So, they work against one another. Theres a tension there. I remember one of the funniest vacations we ever had was when we took a little trip to Door County. We went bike riding through Peninsula State Park. When we finished, we went to this little hamburger joint. We wanted to get something to eat. I remember that guy [who worked there] because it was so unique. I dont know if he was the owner or who he was, but he was fighting me on everything I ordered. I said, Id like the pork tenderloin, and I want to have ketchup, pickles, and onions please. He said, Ill put the works on there for you. I dont want the works. I just want it this way. He said, We serve it best with onions, mustard, mayonnaise, and lettuce. Im going to fix you up. I dont want to be fixed up. This is the way I want my sandwich. I would like to try some of your baked fries. Ive never had the baked fries before. I think Im going to try the baked fries. He goes, Ill get you some French fries. I said, I dont want French fries. I want to try something new. I want to try something different. He says, Those arent very good. Let me get you the real thing. I know what the real thing tastes like. I just had this healthy bike ride. I want to be healthy. Im going to try your baked fries. Ill get you the real thing. There was just this tension going on with him trying to impose change upon me and my resisting that change. All around our world, we have churches where theres that dynamic going, where there are those who say, Hey, Ive got this idea. Ive got this thing I think would be really cool. Leadership goes, Thats not the way we do things around here. Were just going to kind of keep it the same. They say, Over here, God is doing this wonderful thing. What do you think if we just do this wonderful thing? What do you think if we just do this and make this change? I dont think so. This is the way we do it here. Change happens. Jesus was an agent of change. One of the things He did is he brought about change and how we interpret Scripture, the meaning of things. He was constantly butting heads with the Pharisees and scribes and teachers of the law because He said things that you normally didnt say. He did things you shouldnt do. He bucked their traditions, but never Gods Word; so there was friction-there was tension-taking place. One such time is what weve been talking about in Luke 5, if you want to turn there. Remember, Hes already criticized for hanging around with tax collectors and sinners. As we go through this Book of Luke together, were going to find that criticism rendered quite a bit. Thats not the way spiritual leaders do things. One thing they noticed about Him was He didnt fast. They didnt pray like they saw other religious groups doing and other religious leaders doing. So they were judgmental of that. In Verse 33 (of Luke 5, page 1020 of pew Bibles), it says, They said to him, Johns disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking. [The Pharisees were thinking], Do you know what? When You think about it, You must not be too spiritual because Youre not doing all the spiritual things. Youre not doing things You should do if Youre going to be a spiritual leader. Even John the Baptist, he fasts and prays. What Jesus is going to say in the next verses here is, basically, John the Baptist was praying and fasting for the coming of the Messiah, and Im here. Im the bridegroom and Im here. Therefore, theres coming a day when Ill be gone. You can fast then, but Im here now. Things have changed. When I was in school, there was always a threat of the new math coming. One of the things I liked about math was that it was always the same. Two plus two is always four. You can count on it, and there are not a lot of things I liked about math, quite frankly. But we were always threatened with the new math. I dont know if the new math ever came. I dont know what the new math ever was, but we were always threatened by that-that and the metric system. When you grow up, youre going to be using the metric system. Wrong! I dont. But I was always threatened with this new math, whatever it was. Im going to give you the new spiritual math today. Im going to give you some equations that are truth, that are always true, some equations that I discerned from this text. The first equation, lets put that up, is that the disciplines minus Jesus equal abuse. The Pharisees thought that if they just did the right things, that was what made them righteous-that fasting, in itself, was righteousness. Studying the Bible in itself was righteousness. Giving and praying were righteousness. Actually, those things are what are designed to lead us to righteousness, to lead us to Jesus-to lead us to a deeper path, a deeper walk. Take Jesus out of the equation; its abuse. These men did the right things, but they did them for the wrong reasons. So, theyre studying lead to arrogance. Their fasting and praying lead to their own self-advancement because they would do those things for all to see and all to hear. Jesus says, You have your reward. When you fast, do it in your closet. Dont put on a sad face. Put on a happy face. Clean and wash up. Shower, comb your hair, put on a smile, and dont let anybody know. When youre praying, go in a room, and shut the door. When youre studying, He said to them one time, you diligently study the Scriptures-Ill give you that-you diligently study; but the Scriptures bear witness of Me, and you refuse to come to Me that you might have life. Misuse, abuse. How many of you know what our horn is for in our car? Our horn is for warning people and protecting ourselves or protecting others. How many of you know that thats not always what the horn is used for on the road? I was driving this week on a service road trying to get on to Milton Avenue, by the Applebees side there. Do you know how it is sometimes you have to go up a few intersections before you can finally break through the traffic and get on Milton Avenue? So, thats what I was doing, going to several stoplights and trying to break in there. I ended up all the way to the mall before I could finally get on. I noticed somebody hitting their horn incessantly, just non stop, Beep, beep, beeeepp. Isnt that awful? Thats just annoying. Thats what it was like. I was really getting mad. Im like, Who is doing that? The next intersection, it would start all over again, and the next intersection it would start all over again. I finally figured out that the car in front of me was honking at the car in front of them-for some reason I dont know about because whatever happened between those two cars happened before I got there. I finally got on Milton Avenue. I was just curious as to who these participants were, the honkee and the honker. So I drove by the first car, the one that was being honked at. Im guessing because I passed that one first, they were being honked at because they were so slow or something. I noticed as I drove by, the car that was being honked at for minutes, non-stop, was a little old man and a little old lady, about 157 years old. They were just little tiny things. He is doing like this (Pastor shows what a little old man behind the wheel would look like), and you can barely see her all shriveled up in the seat next to him. They looked at me with just this saddest puppy dog face like they were just traumatized by what had taken place. So I went by to see who in the world would honk at old people like that; 157 years old, leave them alone! I drove up there, looked, and there was this middle-aged lady just with a frown on her face, still angry, with her teenage boy sitting next to her. I thought, You know what, maybe I should just get behind you and start honking at you. Thats what I wanted to do, but instead I gave her one of those looks like, Whats the matter with you? I heard her shout something back to me. I thought, Well, Im probably next. But she was abusing the horn. Thats not what its intention was. What these people were doing, pun intended, was they were using the disciplines to toot their own horn. They were misusing the disciplines. They were saying, Look at me. Im righteous. Im holy because I fast. Look at me. Im righteous and holy because I pray. Look at me. Look how much I give. Look how much I serve. Look at my clothing. Look how fancy it is. Look how righteous I am. These things are righteous, arent they, and Jesus says, No, theyre not. Those things are designed to lead you to Me, to lead you to righteousness. They are not, in and of themselves, righteous. If you take Jesus out of the equation, its abuse. It leads to arrogance, pride, and self-centeredness. You say, Well, look. You dont even pray. You dont even fast. You must not be spiritual. Its not even a question. Theyre not asking a question here, if you read it. Theyre making a judgmental statement toward Jesus, and Jesus is going to go on to say, in Verse 34, Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken away [from them]; in those days they will fast. Jesus was not saying the tradition was wrong. He was saying eventually the tradition will be resumed, but for right now-for always-I am greater than the tradition. Thats important. The next equation is that when we have the tradition being greater than Jesus, it equals imbalance. Any church that tries to put man-made traditions over Jesus is in trouble. Theyre in trouble. Thats not the way its intended. Jesus is bigger than our traditions. Jesus is greater than our customs. No matter how good our customs are, He is preeminent. Its important that this church makes the primary the primary, the main thing the main thing. Anybody who does this…its out of whack-its not right. Businesses sometimes can do this. You and I have all been to restaurants where they have great advertising campaigns, great atmosphere, slick menus, and you get your food, and its sub-par. Its just not that good. Isnt that the main point of the restaurant? You want good food, good service? No matter how good the advertising is, and how good the menu looks, if the food is not good, and the service isnt good, youre probably not going to go. Id say that restaurant is in trouble. I remember in Rockford when the ad campaign for Wendys was going on-the Wheres the Beef? there was this Marys Kitchen [sign out front that read], Wheres the Bun? They had this poor location, photo-copied menu, greasy spoon diner-no advertising, but the place was packed because they made a good burger. They had generous portions at a reasonable price. They made the main thing-the main thing. Our church, in our early days, we didnt have a very good location. We were way south of town, or we were in between Janesville and Milton. We were in a hotel, or we were in a school, in a gym. These were not the best locations. We often didnt have the best conditions. Our air conditioning would go out in the summer, and our heater would go out in the winter. The room was musty; it was inconvenient. We had to set up our chairs, take down our chairs, set up our sound and lighting every week, and tear it down. We didnt have all the amenities, but one thing we knew we had was we had the Gospel. We could minister and we could have the Gospel. We know we have that; keep the main thing, the main thing. Teenagers, some of the cars just crack me up. Somebody will pull up to you at an intersection, and the muffler is loud. The brakes are squeaking, the body is rusted, and you wonder how the thing ever started; but, boy, that stereo works. When things come out of there, its enough to raise the dead. Youd think if you looked at an average teenagers car, what goes inside the car is the most important thing; but if they put more time and money into the stereo and the interior than they do the mechanics of the car, eventually, thats going to lead to a problem, isnt it? Because the main thing about a car is does it start? Does it drive? Does it get me to where I want to go safely? The main thing has to be the main thing. When it ceases to be the main thing, you have problems. In any church, Jesus must be the main thing. When Jesus is the main thing, when Jesus is greater than our traditions, greater than our structures, it leads to unity within the body. Thats true. One thing I love about our church is we come from all different backgrounds: Catholic, Lutheran, main-line, some from revivalist kinds of backgrounds, Baptist, whatever-you name it; yet, we all get along because the main thing is Jesus and His word. So we focus on what we agree on, rather than what we disagree on. I was bragging on our church just recently to some believers who werent experiencing this. They said, How in the world does your church do that? You guys should write a book or something. I said, You know what? God is so good because [with] such [diverse] backgrounds, and some with no church backgrounds, we get along well. We function well because Jesus is what its about. Now, the remaining verses here-lets take a look at those. He says [Verse 36], No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will have torn the new garment… because the old fabric wont bend with it. It wont shape with it. Plus, the new one will not match the old one. …no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. So the wine was put in animal skin because the animal skin was pliable, flexible. What happened is as the wine fermented, gases would be admitted, it would expand, and the new wineskin could adjust to that expansion. If it was an old wineskin that was already stretched out and expanded, it couldnt adjust. It would actually burst, and the wine would come out of the wineskin. The wineskin would be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, The old is better. Manmade structures have to change. The wine doesnt change, but the structures do. We think of the wineskin as the container. Its how the Gospel comes in contact with the world. That changes with every generation, but the wine doesnt. The wine is whats sacred. The wineskins are important; but theyre not sacred-theyre secondary. They have to change. If they dont, theyll burst. Years ago, we watched a movie I really enjoyed called Sister Act. In Sister Act, Whoopi Goldberg comes into a church as a nun and ends up directing a choir, among other things that go on in the movie. The choir sings the same old songs in the same old way, and the church is dead. The priest gets up to speak, and there are just a handful of people every week. The choir is very bad and out of tune. She comes in and she gets them in tune. She gets them to sing and sound right. Then on their debut Sunday, they get up to sing. They sing the normal song, but they sing it a whole lot better than they usually do. Then after theyre done singing it the old way, they start singing it a new way. This new way causes waves because change causes waves. In this clip were going to see, well see the choir already well into the song in the new way. Watch their faces as they sing. What does it communicate? Watch the face of the Reverend Mother as she hears this new way. Watch the face of the priest, watch the congregation, and watch how it affects the outsiders as God wants to bring change in this inner-city Catholic Church. God wants to take the same Gospel and put it in a new wineskin to reach a new generation. Did you see the dynamic there? The choir is singing [and thinking], Are we sure this is okay? Sometimes when you make changes, you think, Is this legal? Boy, we really enjoy this. Its really effective. The Reverend Mother wanted nothing to do with that, but the priest, he saw, that this was something God could use. This is something good. He saw that that was a wineskin. The wineskin wasnt sacred. The Gospel is sacred. This will enable us to communicate more effectively. He saw the impact on the congregation. He said, Gods doing something new. In our church, its okay to do something new. Its okay to think outside the box. One of the things Ive enjoyed about ministering here is when we do make changes, people might [think], Oh, boy, Im not sure, but you know what? We dont hear that excuse and say, Well, thats not the way weve always done it, so we cant do it that way anymore. Theres another formula I want to leave with you. It is [this]: the Gospel plus new wineskins equals a healthy church. When the church says, You know what? The Gospel has to be protected. How we communicate that…its okay that that changes if its effective. It doesnt mean the old is bad. Music is one of the greatest sources of tension in churches. Contemporary churches are churches that are traditionally trying to transition into contemporary and basically kick the old stuff out, or occasionally throw them a bone. Most people were kind of cast aside. At our church, we started off as a contemporary church, but we recognized that those traditions are so important that we started a church just for the tradition, for the old wineskin, because its important. Its not that its wrong or bad, but that God also does new things too, so we use culture in our congregation. We will do dramas, media, or music where we can attach the Gospel to it to communicate effectively to our people. The church doesnt have to be archaic, boring, and dull to be exciting and life-giving. Change, if its done correctly, is a good thing. In organizations and ministries that refuse to adapt, the wineskin bursts, and eventually they die. I did a wedding in Rockford years ago, and a buddy of mine was there. I asked, Do you go to church here? Youre having the wedding here. He said, No, I dont go to church here. Man, its the most boring place in the world. It hasnt ever changed since I was a little kid. There have been some people who have tried to do some new things and tried to do some good things, but its always been turned away. As a result, over the years, the people have left, and new ones arent coming in. I said, Well, thats sad. I started talking to the minister before the wedding, just making small talk. I said, How many people do you have here that visit on a regular basis? He said, Well, you know, I think two. We have two. I said, Two? Thats not bad. We usually get about six, Im going to say, in the average weekend. Sometimes we get more; sometimes we get fewer, but two a week isnt bad. He said, No, no, I didnt mean two a week. I meant two a year. He said, We had two visitors last year. I said, For the entire year? Yeah, we had two. Thats not good. What was happening is that was the congregation where God was doing some new things, but they refused to change. By the way, some of you get nervous and say, Hes going to make some changes. I just know it. No, Im not thinking about making changes. Dont worry; this is not a prepare-you-for-something kind of a talk. What this is saying is that you know what? We are open to new wineskins in this church. The way were doing ministry, over the years, theres going to be some new wineskins. There are going to be some creative ways, some out of the box thinking, and thats okay. Were not going to fight that; were going to embrace that. If it honors God, its effective for the Gospel, we welcome that change. Everything Jesus did and taught was about change. The communion table in front of us, this morning, is about change. It is about looking at life a new way. The bread was no longer going to represent the old, the land that was slain at the Passover. The cup was no longer going to represent the blood of the lamb. It was going to represent the Lord Jesus because He was going to do something unthinkable. He was going to do something man could not even conceive. Every year, theyd come together; theyd commemorate the Passover. Theyd sacrifice the lamb. Theyd have the Passover meal. Theyd remember what God did. Jesus said, Thats going to change. From now on, when you observe this meal, youre going to think of Me because Im going to become the lamb of God. Im going to give of My blood. Im going to give of My body to set man free. The wages of sin is death. Jesus Christ was going to serve that sentence. He was going to die. He was going to become a curse in order that you and I could have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. That was something so radical, something a man could not have conceived in his wildest dreams. It took years for us to figure it all out. It took many explanations of Jesus to His disciples after the Resurrection, explaining from the Scriptures that the Messiah must suffer and die. It was a new way. It was a new covenant. The old covenant was going to go away, and the new covenant had come. This morning, as we receive communion, just prepare your hearts. Just thank God for the new things He is doing. Thank God for the things He wants to do in your life that are new. Be open and receptive to that. Were going to have some music playing in the background as we prepare our hearts to receive, and then after weve all received, just hold on to the elements and well partake together. Father, we thank You for the lesson today from Luke, the importance of the new wineskins. We said that change is difficult for us. We like the old better, and thats true. The same token that we need to have open minds, open hearts to see the new things Youre doing in our lives, the new things You are doing in our church, that You break through our traditions and our structures because You are bigger than them, so we might have a sensitivity to Your voice and to Your leading and always recognize that You are greater than the structure, that we might always keep You at the forefront as our top priority. You are what we are about, what this church is about. We pray that we might preserve unity in the faith. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
