Church of the Ascension
This is the podcast feed for The Episcopal Church of the Ascension in Montgomery, Alabama. Here you will find sermons, studies, morning prayer, special events, and more.
As Christians, if we are in Christ, we must choose differently—we must walk by faith not knowing where the path ahead may lead us and yet trusting that God will never lead us astray.
We cannot travel this world putting our own needs or expectations first because we believe we have a right to something and then wonder why the world seems so dark and broken. As Christians we cannot be entitled travelers, but instead we must embrace our responsibilities as brothers and sisters and mothers to all whom we meet.
The sabbath is a gift that gives us the opportunity to reevaluate relationships. Jesus is not saying anything new this morning, he is just challenging us to reevaluate ourrelationships. How do we feel when Jesus runs roughshod over those things we find in our lives that we thought were definitive of how Christians are supposed to act?” I find it challenging at first but in the end, I find myself loved up to a place of joy filled grace that leaves my heart full, and my soul refreshed.
When we know that love, when we live that love, then our worries can cease because we will know with every atom of our beingness that “every little thing’s gonna be alright.”
As we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit on this day what are the stars of distraction in our lives and who are the Northern Lights that guide us? Who are those steady presences in our lives who visibly manifest the Holy Spirit to us? Who draws us into community and how do we open our hearts to these new gifts of relationship?
Every day, every moment of our lives we have a choice to follow the path of the happy or that of the wicked. To choose the path of the happy is not to choose self-fulfillment or prosperity or wealth—we will not be happy simply by getting what we want. To be one of those who are “happy” only happens when we choose to connect to the source of life…when we choose God.
Peter’s love for Cornelius can only be mimicked by us when we love the other—one who is different from us in race, socio-economic condition, position, influence, whatever the criteria might be. When we can see the other, not through our differences but in how we are the same, we can discover how to love them.
To bear fruit is to act in love, which is always a communal act and to live as a branch is to live in a community shaped by love. In order for us to take our place in thisrelationship we must find our own seedpods and withering flowers that must be removed so that our energy might flow into those efforts and more importantlyinto the people that we are being called to serve and that we are being called to love. Let us find comfort in this season of pruning and deadheading as a time when beauty and love are revealed in the channeling of our energy toward one another.
When we stop objectifying God and focus on God as the subject of our lives, we discover that our relationshipwith God and one another deepens—not just with family and friends, but with stranger, with those who are the other, who understand the world in vastly different ways than we do. We stop seeing God as a good shepherd and start experiencing life in the flock in which our shepherd is willing to lay down his life for us.
We can take comfort in knowing that Jesus is with us and that when two or three are gathered in His name, Hewill be in the midst of them. We help each other to seek and to see Jesus by helping each other to be Jesus in the world. Fear never has the last word because fear is born out of isolation and when we invite our Lord into the middle of our messy lives, we are simply acknowledging what has always been and what we should always know and that is that God is always with us.
"Life is short and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of the faithful, so be swift to love and make haste to be kind and go in peace to love and serve the lord."
On Good Friday God, clears out our hearts and minds and begins the task of renewing and reestablishing hisrelationship with man. God knows that we too like those old houses need a little bit of love. God has humbled himself and taken on flesh in Jesus and will now establish that new relationship with man. A relationship grounded inlove and grace that no one can break and that is forever life-giving.
We tell the story of salvation and freedom and promise, and just as the story of the Passover begins with bitter herbs, our story of the Passion begins in that same bitter place. The ugliness of captivity is not simply the story of the oppressor and the oppressed, it is the story that lays claim upon our own hearts when we are imprisoned by fear and anger and suffering. It is the story of what Judas would do.
We are all the beloved creations of God made in his image. In our Baptismal Covenant we commit to serving Christ in all others. That is an unqualified statement making no distinction between anyone. We are stronger together and meant to be one body loving God and each other.
The eyes of blessing and judgment gaze upon us, into us, and we are known by God at our most basic sense as an expression of God’s own love. This is the Pantocrator—the all-powerful—the one who will hesitate a moment in his ego and respond from his soul as the two become one unity, ordered in the divine/human offering he makes for us.
We have been reflecting on what sources of technology we use, why we use them and then trying to moderate our engagement with our screens or other tools of technology. Now at this midpoint in our journey we will begin to look at ways to improve our relationships with those tools.
We have no power in ourselves to help ourselves—but we can choose to focus on God and call upon him for our protection and defense such that our souls may not be hurt or assaulted.
This Lent we are being called to remember that we are created in God’s image and made for relationship with him. Our collect this morning is reminding us that God is gracious to all who have gone astray. Understanding ourselves is all about understanding our place in Holy Fellowship with Him and with each other.
Change your background chorus from “I want my MTV” (or whatever worldly thing that calls your name) to “I want my mightyGod.” Make that your covenant this Lent and through all the days of your wandering life.
God always loves us—no matter what—and hatest nothing he has made. Linger not in depravation this Lent, lamenting that which you have given up or not given up, but turn your hearts to God.
Timing is everything. And on that mountain in that moment oftransfiguration, God is revealed. I want to yell, “Peter, stop! Don’t miss it.” And then I realize, that is because we are all so like Peter—distracted by the world and our desires to control that which we do not understand rather than bearing witness to the revelation of God all around us. The Transfiguration is about Jesus, but I cannot help but to think of Moses, Elijah, Rosa Parks,Absalom jones, and all the giants who have borne witness to the God who is revealed here in this world.
I have many wonderful memories and maybe more importantly, I am the person I am today thanks in large part to my involvement in Scouting. Thank you all for what you do and most importantly for who you are and for sharing your light with one another and all those whom you serve.
We take comfort in knowing that our God is continually seeking us out, until we say here I am Lord.
Jesus didn’t tell the four fishermen to stop being fishermen. He invited them to fish for something different—to fish for people, to grow in relationship. Jesus continues to invite us to come andfollow him even today. He doesn’t tell us we have to be something different, only that we reconsider and reorient ourpurposes so that they align with his—that they focus on relationships; our partnering with God and one another.
Epiphany is a season of light, a time to reflect on how our hearts and lives can be a light to others. One thing about this light is that it's not meant for us to keep it to ourselves. We aren’t meant to hide the light away and keep it a secret. It is meant for all so that all might see the gifts of creation.
It seems to me that Jesus’ baptism is maybe more about the revelation of his true identity and his commissioning into God’s shared earthly ministry here on earth rather than on a need for repentance. As beings created in God’s image, Jesus is modeling for us what our new calling here on earth will be. That the repentance in our baptisms is maybe less about our personal need for forgiveness and maybe more about an acceptance of our calling into this shared work of love.
For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
And as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up.
So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.
To trust God is to recognize that Advent is about trusting in God’s promise of renewal and hope. It is not the time of the ending of allthings, but a time of new hope, new possibility, new beginnings.
Isaiah reminds us that we are called to remember the past while embracing the future. This is embodied in Jesus. In this season of new beginnings let us reflect on our past while embracing all the hope and joy that the future has to offer as we walk hand in hand with Jesus and with each other.
If we think we are living in act five—the end times—and allowing fear to drive our beliefs and choices, then we are missing out on the joy, opportunity, and creative nature that is the church. Most of all, we are missing out on nurturing our relationship with the one who shapes us as the work of his hands: the Father in which we are the clay and he is the potter.
When we feed, give drink, visit, welcome, and cloth the stranger we do this to Jesus because we are all created in our beloved maker’s image and so are created with his light and life in us. While we all are a little bit goat and we all are a little bit sheep, Ithink Jesus is calling us this morning to be his sheep in the world as we seek to spread his love in a world full of goats.
That is the invitation we are always being offered by God. The invitation to live in this world from a position of hope instead of fear, from possibility instead of doubt.
The kingdom of heaven summons us to new life, active waiting in hope, and renewed vigor in faith. The best part of all of this is that Jesus is preparing a huge feast for us. A feast that we are all invited to. The real truth is that the door is always open for us at all times, day or night, but we must be prepared to enter that door when the time comes.
Jesus reminds us through the beatitudes that this life is not an easy one but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a joyful one. Blessed are we when we do not allow the distractions of the world to keep us from dying to false self and embracing our true self in joy and wonder; when we embrace the spirit of all the saints as alittle child might receive them and claim our true inheritance in the kingdom of God.
Jesus shows us that what is most important is that we give our hearts to God and the rest will follow. In giving our hearts to God, our motivations will be good. We won’t always get it right but in loving God our intentions will be good.
God gives us fertile soil in which to grow in the rich relationships that we are given as caretakers. Our family and friends, our church, our work relationships, and social groups are all fertile grounds of connection that we are called to nurture. How are we doing with our harvest?
With everything going on today in our lives, I ask you to take a moment and be wholly present here today and bless all of these precious creatures God gave us. Remove those outside distractions because they will still be there when we are done. And remember, there is a God who is fully present in all our days and all our moments. Good and Bad, God is fully present with us.
We can choose to pout and sing songs like, “Nobody loves me, everybody hates me…” and eat the worms of dissatisfaction anddisengagement or we can choose to give as God gives to each of us. We can choose to be offensive in our grace—giving in such a way that is unexpected, even to ourselves. The parable Jesus tells this morning is one of equality in the eyes of God. It is also one of choice—we can choose to be the laborers who rise early and get to work—giving fully of ourselves and expecting fully of God.
While there must be an effort on our part to seek reconciliation with ourselves and with those whom we have wronged, we are called to recognize our own humanity so that we may seek and serve that same humanity in others.
The goal of the church, of those who belong to the salvific community of Christ, is to embody the holiness of God in life and witness. We do that by being the place of return; an open and inviting place that praises one another for our willingness to return to God—even and especially when that choice is hard. We don’t go to church to avoid the devil; we go to church to grow in our love of God and one another.
Cross-bearing does not have to mean what it meant for Jesus: the price is already paid for in his blood. For most of us today, cross-bearing means serving others with compassion. Because all of us are cross-bearers, and all of us are gods’ allies. And, when we take up our cross and faithfully follow Jesus without worldly distractions, we find ourselves resurrected to a new life in many different ways.
God doesn’t perceive us as sinners in need of redemption. He knows us to be his children. Our perception as sinners is a name we give ourselves. And in so doing, we have lost the awareness of who we truly are.
When Jesus doesn’t respond to us in the way we want, what does our pursuit of him look like? Are we willing to accept the miracles he gives and continue to pursue him even when the miracles he gives are not the miracles we expected?
We must open our eyes and see the world as it is, as a beloved child of God. We must let God's love transfigure our hearts and then take that love down from the mountain and bring it into the world to share.
As recipients of God’s love, we are called to in turn share that love with all those whom we encounter. This is the work of building the kingdom.
The Christian life is a pilgrimage from earth to heaven, and our task is to take as many as possible with us as we make this journey.
Hope makes room for love. It liberates us, freeing us from our fears. It unites us, breaking down the barriers that isolate us from one another. Hope is about casting vision. The more we share in hope, the brighter the light will shine. Hope knows the shadow of darkness, but it does not linger there.
Notice those little signs from God that help strengthen your faith and continue your call to Follow.
As people of the Trinity, we know that the only way to live in unity is by celebrating our diversity and turning our hearts to the possibility and promise that God’s very creation offers us.
Come Holy Spirit upon all of us this Day! Like a mighty rushing wind that blows through those doors and ignites that flame within all of our hearts today and forevermore.
Jesus wants to share a gift with those who follow him that is only realized through relationship with the Father that will be achieved through the Holy Spirit.
We may all wrestle with God from time to time, but in doing so we realize that we have never let go of God, and He has never let go of us.
If we live the way Jesus lives then we don’t have to worry about finding our way to the kingdom—we will already be a part of it.
Jesus is trying to keep all of us in a community together. A community that loves each other and looks out for each other. Not a community that looks at differences but a beloved community that embraces differences and grows together, stronger as one.
Maybe Jesus swag comes to us in grace, that unearned and underserved love of Jesus that everyone sees in how we love and care for our neighbor.
From king to cross. It is finished. Yet, when Jesus breathes his last, we know that truly it has just begun.
The Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.
Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty.
Find joy in the little things in life because one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. Appreciate the blessings God gives us all.
Our relationship with God is transformational, not transactional. It is a partnership in which we grow together, rooted in covenant.
God ensures we know his name, not because we might exercise power or control over God, but because by knowing his name, we are granted power by him to spread that name through all the world.
Being fearless doesn't mean living a life devoid of fear, but living a life in which our fears don't hold us back.
The ability to cast light into even the deepest and darkest aspects of life should be cherished.
Rabbi Scott Looper gives the homily in a joint Thanksgiving service between Episcopal Church of the Ascension, Temple Beth Or, and First United Methodist Church.
Be an example to others of all that is good in this world, for others will copy you and they also will become good examples.
Once there was a persistent widow and her name was God. And she kept pestering us to love her and act justly until we finally did.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
The gospel is the hope in the midst of suffering, the peace in the midst of the storm, the joy even in the times of sorrow.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The mere presence of the shepherd puts the sheep at peace. When he is near, they don't panic, and they don't fight. They can lay down in peaceful slumber. Nothing reduces stress like the presence of the Shepherd. When you are living in close connection to Jesus, you can sleep, you can relax, you can rest.
This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. Leaving something in its place I have traded for it. I want it to be a gain, not a loss; good not evil; success, not failure, in order that I shall not forget the price I paid for it.
It's not enough to do things in the right way. What's more important is doing things for the right reasons.
Life is unpredictable and sometimes you need to adjust your schedules and plans to meet the demands of the day. While you may not be be able to solve all of the world's problems, you can be there for others in need by providing hope and a path for them to follow.
Let our hearts be stretched out in compassion toward others, for everyone is walking his or her own difficult path.
Faith is not built off of mountaintops, but in the everyday living of Christian discipleship . A reflection on Colossians 2:6-19.
What three things would you want if you were stranded on a desert island? In this reflection on Amos 8:1-12; Colossinas 1:15-28; and Luke 10: 38-42, we discover what distracts us from our true purpose.
Finding hope and the fulfillment of God's faithfulness is no less accessible than a soggy tuna sandwich. Listen for this week's reflection on Colossians 1: 1-14.
when you want to proclaim the Kingdom of God, just think Sawyerville. A reflection on Luke 10:11, 16-20.
As Jesus followers we are called to proclaim the Kingdom of God--which is very real and right here. A reflection on Luke 9:51-62.
Even in the midst of darkness, baptism reminds us of the light that we shine as God's people. A reflection on Psalm 42 in the wake of the shootings at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Vestavia Hills, AL.
We spend too much energy on trying to offend or not offend one another. Maybe we ought to consider how we are offending God. A reflection on the Trinity and John 16:12-15.
Lydia is a dealer in purple cloth. She is also a dealer in salvation. A reflection on Acts 16:9-15.
When the rules are meant to exclude, you can be sure they are not about living in the Kingdom of God. A reflection on Acts 11:1-18.
Tabitha is raised from the dead, not because she is enduring some suffering or needs to be healed, but because God is not finished working through her to heal the community. Her inconvenience becomes a path to salvation for many and a witness to us. A reflection on Acts 9:36-43.
Davis Dickert shares a message of what it means to be a witness--not only as one himself, but all those who have been a witness to him to form his faith. A reflection on Acts 5:27-32.
It was not simply the first disciples who witnessed to the life of Jesus--we do too. A reflection on the Acts of the Apostles 10:34-43.
The story of Mary and her courage to anoint the feet of Jesus. A reflection on John 12:1-8.
God offends us with his lavish excesses doted upon us and we have no control over it. A reflection on Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32.
Jesus is tempted in the wilderness not as an example of how we resist temptation but as an opportunity for us to choose who we become. A reflection on Like 4:1-13.
Jesus' beatitudes are not the criteria that determines one's entry into Heaven. They are the way in which God offers us accountability in learning to live in the kingdom now. A reflection on Luke 6:17-26.
There are a lot of ideas floating around the world about what love is--but few of us understand or are even willing to embrace that love is about vulnerability. A reflection on I Corinthians 1:1-13.
Too often we pray to the gods of transaction in our daily lives as he seek and hold on to the idols of money and power. God's gifts are not transactional. They are about an overwhelming transformation of love through the abundant gifts God offers us. A reflection on John 2:1-12.
Baptism is less about "being saved" and more about committing to a relationship with Jesus Christ and others. A reflection on Luke 3:15-17, 21-22.
The Creche or nativity scene originated in 1223. It has influenced our understanding of the very first Christmas in significant ways.

A reflection on Matthew 2: 1-21.
Two pregnant women plot to overthrow the government--that is what we read on the Sunday before Christmas. its still Advent folks--Christmas is soon, but not yet. A reflection on Luke 1:39-55.

For two thousand years, Christians have tried to follow John the Baptist's call to turn away from sin and yet, sin still plagues us. Maybe the call is less about denying our sins and more about moving through our vices to discover the virtuous we truly desire. A reflection on Luke 3:1-6.
In a world in which the Left Behind series has shaped a false narrative of the Second Coming of Christ, we would do better to examine Van Gogh's The Starry Night painting for a more hopeful perspective of the world when Christ will come again. A reflection on Luke 21:25-36.
Hot Lips Houlihan and Hawkeye Pearce were a source of constant provocation toward one another throughout the series MASH. Today's reflection on Hebrews 10:11-14(15-18)19-25 offers some insight on how we might provoke one another on toward love and good deeds.
Our origin story is important to us. Not simply to know where we come from but to discover who we are and thus there is hope wherever we find ourselves. On this All Saints' Sunday, we reflect on the Book of Revelation 21:1-6.
Ritual can help shape and grow our relationships be it a family ritual of putting up Halloween decorations in the front yard or the more ecclesial rituals found in church. Either way, the ritual requires our presence. This week's reflection on Hebrews 9:11-14 offers insight into the incarnational presence of Christ found in the church.
Jesus dies to liberate us to love, not simply to save us from our sins. That liberation reminds us of our belovedness, that we are first children of God before we are ever sinners in need of redemption. The stories we share with one another connect our past to our future in order to remind us that we are loved into being by God and one another. A reflection on Hebrews 7:23-28.
Jesus is not for us. He is with us. We know what it means to be human because God became man and dwelt among us. A reflection on Hebrews 5:1-10.
Believe is more than a sign on a locker room wall--it is an action. To believe means we do something--go to church, get baptized, take communion, be Christian.

Living into community means the willingness to accept others and not reject them. Even if and when they aren't really "doing it right". In this week's reflection on Mark 9:38-50, we learn the Jesus always appreciates us and encourages us on "The Way."
We spend all our time trying to be the best. In reality, its what we get to do that helps us feel connected and gives us true fulfillment in life. a reflection on Mark 9:30-37.
When other people, including God, don't meet our expectations we tend to stop listening and even try to stop them from speaking. This defines Peter's rebuke of Jesus and even Jesus' rebuke of Peter. A reflection on Mark 8:27-38.
This week we explore that age-old question, "Why do some people's prayers get answered and others don't. A reflection on Mark 7:24-37.
Gathering for meals helps form us into community--ay home, with friends, and in the church. This week's reflection looks at Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23.
Sometimes I wonder why we are here...surely its not just for the food. A reflection on I Kings 2:10-12, 3:3-14 and John 6:51-58.
When the sins of the father weigh upon the sons, destruction and death often follows. This week's reflection explores the brokenness and losses of King David through the story of the young man, Absalom, in 2 Samuel 18:5-9, 15, 31-33.
This week's reflection on John 6:24-35 compares the Body of Christ to a tray of pork ribs. Which just might mean Dreamland is about as close to Heaven as it gets--at least in Alabama.
In a culture that believes he who dies with the most toys wins, its hard to recognize real abundance. A reflection on John 6:1-21.
The economics of man are always defined by transaction. The economy of God offers transformation. A reflection on Mark 6:30-34, 53-56.
Two kings of Israel--one brought honor to God and thus himself. The other brought shame. A reflection on the rule of King David and King Herod Antipas through the stories of 2 Samuel 6:1-5,12b-19 and Mark 6:14-29.
In this week's reflection on Mark 6:1-13, Drew+ looks at four presidents and how their courage in times of strife shaped them as persons and as presidents. Jesus, too, was shaped in times of trouble and rejection--especially in his own home town among those who knew him best.
Our world suffers from resistance--resistance to one another, resistance to creation, resistance to ourselves, and resistance to God. Jesus is so non-resistant to life and healing and positive energy that even his clothes have healing properties. We, as the church, are called to be the hem of Jesus' cloak--the place that all those who suffer can come and find renewed life. In this week's episode, Candice Frazer+ offers a reflection on Mark 5:21-43 and what it means to practice non-resistance and simply say "Yes!"
We often like to think of the David vs. Goliath story as one in which the archetype of the weak defeats the strong. In the story of David and Goliath, David goes to battle against Goliath with God not only on his side; all of Israel has chosen the side of God! Of course David cannot lose. This week's reflection by Drew Brislin+ explores I Samuel 17:1, 4-11, 19-23, 32-49.
Drew offers a reflection on this week's Gospel reading, Mark 4:26-34. Planting even the smallest seed of friendship and hospitality with others will grow your friendship with God.
Too often we are told by the church that we are sinners in need of forgiveness and not that we are beloved children of God. Approaching the world from a place of condemnation is much different and less spiritually fulfilling than a starting point of belovedness. In today's reflection on Mark 3:20-35, we hear that those who blaspheme have no forgiveness because they deny the very God who always forgives.
Trinity Sunday is often called "Heresy Sunday" by preachers due to the difficulty in explaining the mystery of God in Three Persons and the Unity of One Being. Instead, Drew takes the less treacherous path of exploring how doubt is not the opposite of faith but, like Nicodemus, can be an avenue of greater relationship with God.
We have begun to weaponize our words to either a liberal or conservative persuasion regardless of context--political, social, religious, medical, etc. On this Pentecost Sunday, the Holy Spirit speaks in a unifying voice drawing people to God and one another.
Just as many different threads are woven together to create a tapestry, so is life woven into relationship and fate. In this week's reflection on John's Gospel, 17:6-19, we hear how Jesus' high priestly prayer is a prayer of connection that we might be bound together to glorify God.
The ascension of Jesus leads to the responsibility of the disciples and us by extension to be the church in the world and carry on Christ's work. That work never becomes static but is always being renewed and that is no different for the post-pandemic church. A reflection on Acts 1: 1-11.
A sermon reflection this Second Sunday of Easter on the power of peace and forgiveness as inspired by The Gospel of John (20:19-31) and the cartoon Bluey.
On this happy morning of Christ's resurrection, take a moment to let the surprise of this story's ending capture you. Based on the understanding that the shorter ending of Mark is really a new beginning into reading his entire Gospel as a post-resurrection story, this reflection opens up the wonder of Mark 16:1-8.
On this Good Friday, the Passion of Mark offers us a reflection on why we are prone to scapegoat others and how that has influenced the social constructs of justice in the world we live in today.
In this final episode of exploring The Book of Forgiving by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu, Candice talks about what it means to forgive oneself, seek forgiveness from others, and how forgiveness can transform the world.
Many of us wrestle with understanding what sin really is. In today's sermon, we explore what sin is and why it means something more than simply breaking the rules.
In today's episode we explore the final step of the Fourfold Path of Healing--releasing or renewing the relationship.
This week we explore the third step of the four-fold path to healing - "Granting Forgiveness" - as we continue our look at The Book of Forgiveness by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu.
