September 27, 2018 | Miller Chapel "These proclaim Christ out of love… the other proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition…" (1:16-17) Some expressions of Christianity are embarrassing. Often it appears that the more anti-intellectual, and theologically naïve preachers are the more popular they are. But that should not be our deepest embarrassment. The real problem is the lack of love that sometimes accompanies our theological sophistication.

September 5, 2018 | Miller Chapel Opening Convocation Address for the 2018–19 Academic Year Speaker: Dr. Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger, Charlotte W. Newcombe Professor of Pastoral Theology Address: “Life Together: Called to Compassion”

September 13, 2018 | Miller Chapel "…the one who began a good work in you will bring it to completion…" (1:6) Postmodern society is suspicious of embracing narratives or even plots. We are now tempted to believe life is a series of disconnected events that have no meaning apart from what we bring to them. But by grace, we have been incorporated into the good work of a Creator who is not done.

September 6, 2018 | Miller Chapel Opening Communion for the 2018–19 Academic Year Preacher: M. Craig Barnes, president and professor of pastoral ministry Sermon: “Choosing Joy” (Ecclesiastes 9:7-10) "So eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God long ago approved of what you do." We tend to think more seriously about the spirituality of the cross and suffering, then we do the spirituality of having a merry heart. But God has approved our joy.
