“Kill This Dreamer”
(September 21, 2014) Joseph’s brothers are enraged by their younger sibling’s dreams, which upset the social order. Not that much unlike us, they react with revulsion to those who call us to better versions of ourselves. Why do we do this? And can we, who are called to dream and vision, still speak those dreams in the face of the rejection and violence that sometimes conjures in others? (Genesis 37:3-8, 12-14, 18-28)
The wire on my microphone was shorting out, and this recording is broken in many places. Where those gaps in the audio make understanding the content difficult, I have recorded the word or phrase again. This is almost as distracting as the gap itself (and so in some places I’ve left the gap in place and trust the message comes through). Trust me, you don’t want to hear me re-read the whole sermon– I come across awful and canned when not actually preaching! We are replacing the wire, and apologize for this poor quality this week.
