Covenant Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, Pr. Eileen Gebbie Exodus 20:1-11 Full text available here.
"As sacred as these 10 Commandments, or teachings, are, they are also practical and they also work and they are also all that we have to possibly turn around the anti-hope, anti-peace, anti-joy, and anti-love that we are experiencing on so any fronts right now, that are diligently working to restrict our freedom right now." |

The Words of Our Faith, Pr. Eileen Gebbie Philippians 2:1-13 Full text available here.
"This is what God offers all of us: the way out of no way; the language that names the vision, that offers the tools, that opens the plantation gates and the jail doors and the shackles of violence, division, and distrust that both bind and divide us at this very moment." |

Equality Before God, Pr. Eileen Gebbie Acts 17:16-31 Full text available here.
"God is still calling us to return to that potential with which we are all gifted. So we must teach our children that the only body they are entitled to is their own and to never let anyone tell them differently. And we need to do it in the name of the God of Genesis with as much fervor and intensity as all of the people online combined." |

Faith is Not Formulaic, Pr. Eileen Gebbie Acts 16:16-34 Full text is available here.
"Faith is not formulaic and salvation isn't future tense. In the daytime hours, faith gives us direction and strength of community. In the night, those dark nights of the body and mind and soul, faith gifts us with a shattering unshackling. Between the two, we are saved from enervating oppression and social isolation by energizing, loving, and divine presence." |
