Prayer Practice | “Noticing the Beauty Around Us” | Margot Eyring

This week, we share a sermon offered by Bill Haley in 2017 on 1 Peter 3. In this passage, Peter offers guidance to Christians in a largely pagan setting who are undergoing various kinds of suffering specifically because of their allegiance to Jesus. As Bill explores, there is much that 21st-century Christians in America can learn from Peter’s counsel.

This week, we share the first installment of Coracle's 2024 "Justice, Mercy & Humility" Soundings Seminar Series.  This series explores the continuing relevance of Micah 6:8’s exhortation to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” 

In this conversation, Kristy Wallace-Grant (Repentance Project Director) leads us in a discussion with Jim Emrich (Founder of Servant Leaders Associates).  They dip into the lives of a diverse array of Christians who have over the years embodied a Micah 6:8 vision of the Christian life: Mary McLeod Bethune, Howard Thurman, Myles Horton, Rosa Parks, Clarence Jordan, and more.  We hope the lives and stories they share will spur you on to love and a deeper walk with God in the world!

This week, we share a sermon offered by Rev. Bill Haley during Lent back in 2006.  He makes a compelling case for exploring the mysteries of our faith, like Baptism, even amid significant cultural confusion about the clearest and most fundamental tenets of Christian teaching.

This week, we share a "Space for God: BIBLE" reflection by Demetrius Summerville (Lift Orlando).  He guides us through Matthew 14 as a window into how we might make space for God even in the thick of swirling distractions—rampant injustice, constant interruptions, and life's many storms.  Ultimately, he invites us to look to Jesus as our model, the author and perfector of our faith.

This week, we share a sermon offered by Rev. Bill Haley in 2014 on Paul’s famous description of love in 1 Corinthians 13.  As we approach Valentine’s Day, may this scripture and reflection offer you lenses to see love anew, in light of God’s grand story of redemption.

This week, we share a Soundings Seminar conversation with Duke Kwon and Gregory Thompson, the authors of the 2021 book Reparations: A Christian Call for Repentance and Renewal.  Duke and Greg lay out how their book can help American Christians *See* the pervasive sin of white supremacy through our history, *Own* the need for restoration of wealth, truth, and power stolen from black communities, and embrace the biblical call to *Repair* our communities.  They explain how and why the church is uniquely equipped to take up the complex question of reparations, and they share candidly about the roots of many Christians' resistance to taking this question seriously.

It is a challenging and stimulating conversation, and we hope you'll be blessed by it!

This week, we share an Epiphany sermon delivered by Rev Bill Haley (Coracle Executive Director) back in 2013.  During the Epiphany season, we celebrate how light has entered a dark and messy world through the Lordship of Jesus, and Bill invites us to see our occupations, whether paid or unpaid, as part of Christ’s light-bringing work.
