Title:
James C. Howell - "We Say These Same Prayers Every Week" (February 21, 1999)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: 00:08. Sermon end time: 15:12.

  • This sermon explores why liturgical prayers are repeated week after week. He concludes that human beings, like Sisyphus, are cursed to push our own sin up a hill throughout our lives. At the end, he offers the cross as a solution for this. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: "The mess that we're in is huge, and we need not be naive about it."
