Description:

Sermon start time: 02:15. Sermon end time: 24:04.
The preacher confronts biblical concerns around ‘immoral’, ‘unspiritual’, and the supernatural narratives in the Bible, arguing that God works in historical particulars, which the Bible reflects. The preacher suggests that Christian put aside their lofty ideals, grand abstractions, and misguided piety and allow the holy into their seemingly unholy activities. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “This appears to be the primary way God chooses to change the world. It appears God doesn’t do things in the world through earthquake, wind, and fire but through ordinary people like Mary, who get called. Furthermore, just ordinary people who say, ‘Yes’.”
