Title:
J. Michael Laidlaw - "What Shall I Bring?" (January 29, 1984)
Description:

  • We run a danger of forgetting the paradoxical nature of the Gospel and growing numb to its radical claims on our lives. Yet the prophets, such as Micah, and Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, come to us as reminders of what it is to live out the mercy and love of God in a violent world. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 37:07. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 9:41.

  • Key quotation: “I’m beginning to better understand now why it is that God sees fit to place in our midst prophets and skeptics, poets and jesters, children and clowns, that through these, through these the very radical, pervasive, insane, foolish words of God may somehow reach us and touch us and transform us and lift us at least a little bit out of ourselves and into grace.”
