  • The Liberation at the Heart of Advent

    The Liberation at the Heart of Advent
    Nov 28 2025
    Matthew 24:36-44 “Today, too many Christians want to claim Jesus so they can go to heaven but leave Jesus’ politics alone because it threatens their privilege, their power, or their social standing. Advent reminds us that Christianity’s gospel is rooted in a Jesus who proclaimed the advent of liberation for the oppressed and the beginning of a whole new world where injustice, violence and oppression are replaced by loving one’s neighbor as oneself and relating to our neighbor as we would like our neighbor to relate to us. Anything less is a failure to grasp Jesus in his entirety.” For more go to renewedheartministries.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • A Political Execution: Beyond Atoning Sacrifice

    A Political Execution: Beyond Atoning Sacrifice
    Nov 20 2025
    Luke 23:33-43 “The Jesus of our story understood where his actions of standing in solidarity with the marginalized and oppressed could lead. And he had the courage to stand in that solidarity anyway. As certain other religions of indigenous and marginalized populations do, the resurrection narrative also places Diety squarely on the side of the oppressed. This has deep ramifications for Christians who choose to engage in justice work today. When understood in the context of Empire, the cross calls us to rethink Jesus’ death as political execution. Juxtaposing the crucifixion and unjust power structures pulls back the veil and reveals Jesus’ death in its political context. It calls us as Jesus followers to insurrection ourselves, as we interpret the death of Jesus as political resistance. Jesus was executed by the state. Could the cross have been political execution rather than sacrifice? Reframing the crucifixion in its context shows it to be Rome’s political act, not God’s substitutionary plan. And in this light, the politics of Jesus’ death go far beyond heavenly bookkeeping. Revisiting Calvary as political execution leads us to a place where faith meets empire and we begin to understand Jesus’ life and teachings as a call to participate in resistance to unjust systems that weaponize and wield death today.” For more go to renewedheartministries.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • A World that is Just, Safe, and Compassionate for All

    A World that is Just, Safe, and Compassionate for All
    Nov 13 2025
    Luke 21:5-19 “Our present crises of growing inequality and the coming environmental collapse are both intrinsic symptoms of how we are choosing to shape our economic system. The relentless pursuit of profit, if left unchecked, will continue to erode both social cohesion and our planet’s foundations for life. Just like in the 1st Century, life-giving change requires of us today a profound moral and political shift away from a system that values growth above all to one that values justice, sustainability, and collective flourishing. The gospels call us, just as they called to those in the 1st Century, to the work of shaping our world into a safe, compassionate, just home for all. If the Galilean prophet of the poor named Jesus lived and taught in our society today, what would he say is our coming crisis of one stone not being left on another?” For more go to renewedheartministries.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
