Robert Farrar Capon said, “Whatever the church is, it should enable us to realize we are at a party of outrageous proportions; and, at the same time, it should make us want nothing so much as to shout the invitation to that party at the top of our lungs.” Is that how we feel about the faith? Is that how we feel about church? Does all of this feel more like a funeral, or a wedding? What John points to in Cana, what we are being called to see, is the glory revealed in Jesus Christ. The party that is salvation is right here and right now. We have been invited to the marriage Supper of the Lamb and we didn't have to do a thing except show up for the festivities. Just as Jesus commandeers the wedding and becomes its host, so too Jesus has conquered the world and now rules at the right hand of the Father. This is what glory looks like. The author of the cosmos condescends to our existence and opens up the doors and clears the dance floor and says, "The time has come to celebrate!"

In this reflection we follow up on a theme introduced in last week's reading from Hebrews 11 and consider what it means to feel like "exiles." Our passage this week is Psalm 137, a very dark psalm, in fact it is a song of lament. “The true Good News is that God works in bad news.” – Robert Farrar Capon

DateOctober 6, 2024SynopsisIn this sermon, we launch the series Potluck: Finding Hope in What We Bring to the Table by asking, "Whose table is it?" and examining Acts 2:42-47 to understand how the early church's table fellowship reflects Jesus' ministry and offers a model for our lives today. We explore Robert Farrar Capon's meditative approach to cooking an onion as a metaphor for slowing down and encountering the divine in everyday acts, challenging listeners to resist the cultural trend of disappearing gathering spaces. This message will resonate with those feeling disconnected or rushed in modern life, offering practical ways to create meaningful community and find hope through intentional table fellowship, reminding us that Jesus often did his best work around tables.ReferencesScripture: Acts 2:42–47About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Maybe you've heard that as Christians we have to be careful to go to God, not to food. Maybe you've heard that emotional eating is wrong, sinful, or not "taking care of your temple" the way God instructs. But, what if there's more to it than that? What if God created our bodies to eat and what if relating to food and eating should be as simple and benign as the way we relate to breathing, sleeping, or even using the bathroom? In today's podcast, Heather takes an alternative look at emotional eating and the religion that our culture (diet culture) has created around food and food rules. Heather challenges the notion that dieting is the only way to relate, biblically and healthfully to food. Heather also challenges the concept that restricting food and keeping a fear of "overdoing it" is what's most healthy for us as Christians. What if restricting is what leads us to an over-obsessive relationship with food that renders us less useful for the cause of Christ? Today, prepare to have your preconceived notions about food, dieting, and what the Bible says challenged in a healthy and helpful way. Heather references this passage where Jesus fed the disciples breakfast: John 21:1-14 Heather references the book, "Health, Money, and Love and Why We Don't Enjoy Them" by Robert Farrar Capon.  Heather invites you to join the next 40-Day Reading Challenge starting in May.

In this episode, Mika, Rayne, and friend of the podcast Mary Hutchinson chat with theologian Dr. Bethany Sollereder. Bethany is a lecturer in science and religion at the University of Edinburgh, and specialises in theology concerning evolution and the problem of suffering. We chat with Bethany about the intersections between science and religion, the morality of pain, and various theologies of suffering within the Christian tradition. Bethany offers us profound thoughts about suffering and the hope that God's kingdom continues to come on earth as in heaven.

Commonplace Quotes: Life was a hiding place that played me false. Lascelles Abercrombie, from “Epitaph” But if man's attention is repaid so handsomely, his inattention costs him dearly. Every time he diagrams something instead of looking at it, every time he regards not what a thing is but what it can be made to mean to him, every time he substitutes a conceit for a fact, he gets grease all over the kitchen of the world. Reality slips away from him, and he is left with nothing but the oldest monstrosity in the world–an idol. Robert Farrar Capon, from The Supper of the Lamb Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about. There is a certain kind of person who is so dominated by the desire to be loved for himself alone that he has constantly to test those around him by tiresome behavior; what he says and does must be admired, not because it is intrinsically admirable, but because it is his remark, his act. Does not this explain a good deal of avant-garde art? W. H. Auden, from The Dyer's Hand On Sitting Down to Read King Lear Once Again by John Keats O golden-tongued Romance with serene lute! Fair pluméd Syren! Queen of far away! Leave melodizing on this wintry day, Shut up thine olden pages, and be mute: Adieu! for once again the fierce dispute, Betwixt damnation and impassion'd clay Must I burn through; once more humbly assay The bitter-sweet of this Shakespearian fruit. Chief Poet! and ye clouds of Albion, Begetters of our deep eternal theme, When through the old oak forest I am gone, Let me not wander in a barren dream, But when I am consumed in the fire, Give me new Phoenix wings to fly at my desire.

This week's podcast offers a reflection on the parable of "The Sheep and the Goats" recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 25.  We consider how this story may give us a glimpse on the motivation Jesus expects from those who will be his followers.    "Neither the sheep nor the goats knew what they were doing. Do you finally see? Nobody knows anything. What did the sheep trust? That God is the Love that will not let us go.” - Robert Farrar Capon

In this episode, Josh White and I have a conversation about the foolishness of the cross. About our need to be confronted with the end of ourselves, so we can be dependent on Christ. We talk about how confession can drive our communities, being a witness to Jesus in the world, and radical grace and vulnerability. Josh White is a speaker, recording artist, writer and founding pastor of Door of Hope, a family of church's in the urban core of Portland Oregon. Josh lives with his wife Darcy, son Henry, daughter Hattie. Portland is the city where he and his wife Darcy met 23 years ago while Josh was playing a show with his then Seattle glam rock band, Man Ray, at the now defunct Satyricon night club. Little did they know that their lives within a few years would be turned upside down and revolutionized by the gospel of Jesus. When not traveling, preaching and leading Door of Hope, Josh is enjoying his family, obsessively reading — he actually is just obsessive — writing, producing and designing spaces. He just released his first book ‘Stumbling Toward Eternity' for Penguin imprint, Multnomah press. Josh often refers to himself as the amateur pastor — for in the words of Robert Farrar Capon, ‘The amateur—the lover, the man who thinks heedlessness a sin and boredom a heresy—is just the man you need. More than that, whether you think you need him or not, he is a man who is bound, by his love, to speak. The role of the amateur: to look the world back to grace.'Josh's book:Stumbling Toward EternityJosh's Recommendations:The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self by Carl TruemanI Saw Satan Fall Like Lightening by Rene GirardPresence in the Modern World by Jacques EllulThe Passenger by Cormac McCarthyWhen We Cease to Understand the World by Benjamin LabatutConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

In this special episode, we depart from the usual interview format and offer you some moments of guided meditation instead. While Forrest is in Ireland interviewing people for future episodes of the podcast, Wes Willison is stepping in to walk you through something called “The Onion Session." Drawn from the book The Supper of the Lamb, by Robert Farrar Capon, this is a guided meditation that is meant to focus our attention on one small and humble object. This soul-and-mind opening exercise helps us to perceive the wonder contained in an onion—and to appreciate it as one part of creation loved by God. Just a note: You might want to wait to listen to this episode for when you've got some down time. For this meditation exercise you'll need an onion, a small knife, a cutting board, and about half an hour of uninterrupted time in a quiet space.

For our June book club bonus episode, we are discussing Robert Farrar Capon's "Supper of the Lamb." This is an unusual cookbook that is written by a theologian who shares all his thoughts on cooking lamb. He shares 8 meals for 8 people that can be cooked with lamb. During these instructions, he talks about the placeness of an onion, the excelsis of wine, and the shedding of blood. With humor, joy, silliness, and seriousness, he roots us in the reality of what cooking really is, what is for, and what is the source. It was a fun conversation to read this book--1 month almost felt too fast to read this book that must be savored.

Perhaps a night like tonight would be easier to handle had Jesus offered himself to the eleven but not to Judas. Maybe it would sit better with us if Jesus had drawn the line between those who are in and those who are out. But no, there's our Lord caressing the feet of his betrayer, who will shortly use those feet to march out of the room and deliver Jesus to death. Maybe this is Jesus' way of parabolically embodying another commandment - to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. If we assume that being Christian is somehow synonymous with do-goodery, victorious virtue, and modest morality, then this night is a rather robust rebuttal. If we think that, as Christians, we sit at Jesus' table with clean hands and a spotless resume, if we think that our feet are washed because of our good behavior, well, then we're wrong. John is begging us to see the scene, to take it all in, the feet, the hands, the hope, the loss, all of it. It's a ringing reminder from the strange new world of the Bible that Jesus came to seek and to save sinners and only sinners. Or, as Robert Farrar Capon wonderfully put it, even the worst stinker in the world is someone for whom Christ died...

In this episode of Crazy Faith Talk, pastors Sarah, Erica, and Steve talk through some of what makes the subject of suicide and self-harm so especially difficult to deal with.  Because of the content of this episode, you might want to choose the right time and place to listen.  And if you or someone you love is dealing with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please reach out to the new national hotline for suicide prevention, 988.  In addition to al of that, this conversation tries to unpack some of the contradictory emotions that are often opened up when someone dies from suicide or attempts suicide, and we also explore more in depth some of the ways that previous centuries of institutional Christianity has made it harder, not easier, to deal with this subject, and how we need to recover the promises of the Scriptures that nothing--not even death--can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.  Or as the late Robert Farrar Capon would put it, when any of us dies, we may lose our own ability to hold onto our own lives, but we do not lose Jesus' ability to hold onto our lives.  With that kind of hope, we invite you into this conversation.

E51 How does a dream from twenty years ago about horses, wagon, reins, being in control show us many kind aspects of God's good will and grace? You may have had dreams a long time ago, but Holy Spirit can expand your understanding years later. Always be open to seeing more, especially if you are growing in the knowledge of His will with all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Oh my, God knows how to use anything to take us deeper in Him and make us more free. Just think even throughout all eternity He has more wows for us!

Matthew 13:31-35Big Idea: There is nothing that can stop the eternal power of the Kingdom of God.The Kingdom's COMING and GROWING has almost nothing to do with us.“Therefore, for every second of the time the world has been a world, it has also been thekingdom. Its progress through history is not a transition from non-kingdom to kingdom; rather, itis a progress from kingdom-in-a-mystery to kingdom-made-manifest.” - Robert Farrar CaponThe Kingdom didn't just appear with Jesus.Jesus REVEALED the mystery of the Kingdom!God's Kingdom is ruled by Jesus Christ and grows by His Word and The Holy Spirit.Colossians 2:9-10“All we need to do, and all we can do, is simply trust that the leaven is, was, and always will beentirely mixed into the lump of our existence — and that it will infallibly lighten every last one ofus. The job is already, if mysteriously, done: by the power of the Word who breathed out his lifefor us on the cross — by the might of him who, in the glory of his resurrection, forever whispersour reconciled names into his Father's ear — we are as good as baked to perfection right now.” - Robert Farrar CaponRESPONSE:1. Trust Jesus as THE SOWER and THE BAKER.2. Let go of CONTROL.3. BE LED by The Holy Spirit.

We live in a world full of vengeance. Social media. Liam Neeson movies. Batman. For as long as we've been around, we've built our societies upon the notion that retribution and vengeance can really bring the peace and restoration we're hoping for. Yet over and over again it has failed. So what can we do to bring the peace and restoration we're hoping for. Listen as Pastor Clint unpacks the next line in the Apostles' Creed: the forgiveness of sins. Looking at Jesus' parable of the forgiving king and unforgiving servant, we find that the true way to peace and restoration doesn't come through vengeance, but through forgiveness. Sermon Resources: 1. "Forgiveness, Health, and Well-Being: A Review of Evidence for Emotional Versus Decisional Forgiveness, Dispositional Forgiveness, and Reduced Unforgiveness," by Everett L. Worthington, Charlotte Van Oyen Witvliet, Pietro Pietrini, and Andrea J. Miller - published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine, August 2007 2. "The Book of Forgiving," by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu 3. “In heaven, there are only forgiven sinners. There are no good guys, no upright, successful types who, by dint of their own integrity, have been accepted into the great country club in the sky. There are only failures, only those who have accepted their deaths in their sins and who have been raised up by the King who himself died that they might live. But in hell, too, there are only forgiven sinners. He forgives the badness of even the worst of us, willy-nilly; and he never takes back that forgiveness…The sole difference, therefore, between hell and heaven is that in heaven the forgiveness is accepted and passed along, while in hell it is rejected and blocked. In heaven, the death of the king is welcomed and becomes the doorway to new life in the resurrection. In hell, the old life of the bookkeeping world is insisted on and becomes, forever, the pointless torture it always was…The only thing that can keep us out of the joy of the resurrection is to join the unforgiving servant in his refusal to die.” -Robert Farrar Capon, "The Parables of Grace" Join or follow us below: Facebook: www.facebook.com/midtownpreschurch Instagram: www.instagram.com/midtown.pres/ Website: www.midtownpres.org/ Community Groups: www.midtownpres.org/community-groups Sunday Services: www.midtownpres.org/

The Big Idea: The Messenger IS the message.Hebrews 1:1-4John 1:1-5, 9-14The Privileges of the KingPhilippians 2:5-11The Power of the KingParadoxical power: Power that looks for all the world like weakness, intervention that seemsindistinguishable from nonintervention. More than that, it is guaranteed to stop no determinedevildoers whatsoever.“The New Testament proclaims an unlikely Savior. The work of Jesus in his incarnation, life,passion, death, resurrection, and ascension makes no worldly sense at all. The portrait theGospels paint is that of a lifeguard who leaps into the surf, swims to the drowning girl, and then,instead of doing a cross-chest carry, drowns with her, revives three days later, and walks off thebeach with assurances that everything, including the apparently still dead girl, is hunky-dory.”“God doesn't force people to behave. God doesn't stop sinners from sinning—he doesn't stopmurderers from murdering. Of course, he does make exceptions, but those are exceptions, notthe rule. And at the end of all the doing, he simply disappeared, leaving as far as anybody hasbeen able to see in 2,000 years or so: no apparent city, no effective Kingdom able to make theworld straighten up and fly right. The whole operation began as a mystery, continued as amystery, came to fruition as a mystery, and to this day continues to function as a mystery. SinceNoah, God has evidently had almost no interest in using direct line power to fix up the world.Why? You ask. Well, the first answer is, I don't know, and neither does anyone else. God'sreasons are even more hidden than His methods.” - Robert Farrar CaponThe Priorities of the KingMatthew 4:1-11Jesus accomplishes things in HIS OWN TIME and HIS OWN WAY:● He turns 5 loaves and 2 fish into an all-time eat out for 5,000 men, plus women andchildren.● Instead of circumventing death, he rises from the dead.● He does take rulership of this world, but through resurrection, not political power.RESPONSE:● I Make Three Confessions:1. I want to understand the ways of God.2. I want to know and trust King Jesus .3. I will follow King Jesus in spite of my discomfort with His methods.● I will share my experience today with someone in my Oikos.

Here's one from deep in our archives: a recording of a conversation Jamie Howison shared with Robert Farrar Capon in the year 2000 in the Capon home on Shelter Island, New York. There's a backstory to how Jamie ended up visiting with the Capons, which you'll hear on the podcast. It was actually the first of two visits to Shelter Island, the second one in 2004 producing a manuscript of interview material that will soon be excepted and published online by the good folks at Mockingbird. We'd encourage you to take a look at the Mockingbird site, and also at the special audio post they have of Capon's unique take on the parable of the Prodigal.  Please consider heading to the saint ben's web post for this podcast, where you'll find a few other things of interest. You might also consider offering a bit of support for our online ministry, which you can do through the Donate page on our website.Subscribe to the show wherever you listen to audio and recommend this episode to your friends.

Josh White is a speaker, recording artist, writer, and lead pastor of Door of Hope, a thriving church community of more than 1,500 in the heart of Portland, Oregon, where Josh lives with his wife, Darcy; son, Henry; and daughter, Hattie. Josh has recorded multiple worship albums, including as frontman of Telecast, and produced many records, including Liz Vice's first album, There's a Light. When not preaching and leading Door of Hope, Josh is enjoying his family, obsessively reading (he actually is just obsessive), writing songs, designing spaces and currently working on his first book “Stumbling Toward Eternity.” Josh often refers to himself as the amateur pastor - for in the words of Robert Farrar Capon, “The amateur—the lover, the man who thinks heedlessness a sin and boredom a heresy—is just the man you need. More than that, whether you think you need him or not, he is a man who is bound, by his love, to speak. The role of the amateur: to look the world back to grace.”

After listening to Robin Shugart's very fine sermon on the parable of the Prodigal from March 27, 2022, the work that Robert Farrar Capon did on the parables came to mind. Capon wrote three very fine books on the parables of the Kingdom, Grace, and Judgement, which were later published in a single volume titled Kingdom, Grace, Judgement  by Eerdmanns, and a taste of that work is contained in this podcast. This audio of Robert Capon is drawn from Mockingbird, which in turn drew from a 2001 interview with Robert on the radio program 30 Good Minutes. We offer only part of the original interview here, with the full version available on Mockingbird.  Please consider heading to the podcast post for this session which is located on our website.

With the holidays approaching, Cameron and Mark discuss the theology of eating and drinking in anticipation of a season of, well, eating and drinking. The Bible's teachings about food and drink are complex, but by thinking in terms of how creation, fall, and redemption impact our dependence on food, we can appreciate how to eat and drink to the glory of God.
