Inevitable Salvation
| The Rev. Philip DeVaul![The Rev. Philip DeVaul](https://www.redeemer-cincy.org/uploads/images/philip-devaul_215_small.jpg)
Inevitable Salvation
"There's this idea of inevitability in the train that comes right?
Because it's on tracks. We know where it's coming from, and the destination is
already set by the tracks. There's this Gospel language of God's power and God's
deliverance as something that is inevitable. It's on a track it's moving
forward. God is in the world doing the work. And what can you do when the train
comes by? Well, you can get on or not. But you're not the conductor and you're
not the train. You're a passenger in this life. How does it threaten us, God's
presence? And the inevitability of God's work when it takes us out of the
driver's seat? How are we threatened by God's presence when it decenters us? Makes
us not the center of everything. How does it give us hope? How does it give us
relief in peace, even as we're threatened and discomforted? How wonderful is it
to know that the salvation of the world is not on your shoulders? It's
something that's happening, and you're being invited to participate."

Throwback Episode - More Than You Can Bear

Throwback Episode - More Than You Can Bear
Editor's note: As part of our When Love Shows Up Throwback Series we are re-posting this blog post which was originally posted on September 9, 2021.
"God means for us to share this life, and to get through it together. When you think this life is something you are supposed to do in the singular – on your own, to be tested and proven individually, you are placing a burden upon yourself that is too great to bear. Your inability to grasp all that is happening to you is not a sign of weakness. The world God has given us is inherently overwhelming. We cannot bear it all and we were never going to be able to. And I have to admit I find grace in this. I do. Because if the world was going to be overwhelming no matter what it makes no sense to judge ourselves for being overwhelmed. It was never going to be easy, or even uniformly manageable. We were always going to need help, need rest, need redemption, need healing, need God, need each other."

God Incarnate
| The Rev. Gary Lubin![The Rev. Gary Lubin](https://www.redeemer-cincy.org/uploads/images/dsc08258-edit-edit_242_small.jpg)
God Incarnate
A lot of times, you know, we assume that God is
somewhere up there, that we need to figure out how to get up there to find God.
Like, you know, we're going to be able to do that, right? Is it too good to be
true that God made a giant leap reaching out for humanity by coming down here
to be with us? That Jesus is real star stuff, just like us, a body of flesh and
blood embodied alive incarnated? Or would we rather fantasize about something
other worldly, you know, like something out there, like the force? Which by the
way, is only accessible to Jedi’s. But not so with Jesus, because the eminent
person, Jesus, is how God relates to all of us one-on-one and in community…
John tells us that everything came into being through the word Jesus, who is full of grace and truth. Now in the early church, the word was understood to be the creative power of God, in action. Wisdom and compassion in action. All flesh (Incarnate) is an opportunity to be in a conversation with the Word. Like, you know, to speak, speak to love, speak truth to power, acting creatively. We're so much into that, you know? Our baptism signifies our intent to love and to do love in community. But acting out of fear instead causes scandal in our little corner of the universe, in our neighborhood. Really unnecessary, unjustified, self-imposed suffering. And Christmas is a time that I get so joyful that God so cares about this little speck of us. It's also a time to celebrate rebirth and new beginnings, like to prepare ourselves for incarnation, incarnation standing in front of us. To be the incarnation. To see Jesus in ourselves and to see Jesus in others and the other, to be present and to give our presence.

God in our Midst
| The Rev. Joyce Keeshin![The Rev. Joyce Keeshin](https://www.redeemer-cincy.org/uploads/images/joyce-keeshin_250_small.jpg)
God in our Midst
These times we are in continue to challenge us in many ways.
We don't have the ease or false certainty that had been our place of comfort.
What we once might have anticipated as a few weeks of inconvenience, then
perhaps a few months, will soon be approaching two years. We have had so many
very real losses, whatever our circumstances. And it's hard to see where this
experience may go next. And we know, in our hearts, we know we will not come
through this unchanged. And it's not only the pandemic that weighs on us, we
also may have our own individual concerns and challenges. Concerns of health,
concerns for loved ones, concerns for our livelihood, for our education…
And we are living in the broader context of so many seemingly dysfunctional and divisive aspects of our world today. But the beauty many of us have shared and continue to share in these difficult times is the experience of God in our midst. The deep awareness of our love for each other. The recognition of the preciousness of time with loved ones and being together in community. We might have previously taken these things a little bit for granted, not in any negative sense, but in a sense that it was expected, it was part of our daily lives. It's not that we didn't appreciate each other, it was just that time seemed so available and at our discretion. We had our multitude of choices of timing and circumstances. The pandemic has disabused many of us, of that sense of control.

God With Us
| The Rev. Philip DeVaul![The Rev. Philip DeVaul](https://www.redeemer-cincy.org/uploads/images/philip-devaul_215_small.jpg)
God With Us
I'm confronted tonight by the story that we've heard, by this story that is just built into our DNA now of Jesus born into this world of God, joining us. We use the words, Emmanuel, that word Emmanuel means God is with us. And in that moment of Christ's birth, God is present in our lives, in a way we could not ever have imagined. And my heart is opened by the confrontation of that reality to a different question. Instead of why does God let this happen again, there's nothing wrong with that question, but that question gets superseded by another one instead of Why it is Where, and specifically, where am I seeing God with us today?
Where do we see God with us? Because the story tells us God is with us, not watching from afar, not sitting up in the heavens, just passively observing our lives and taking notes, grading, and judging our decisions, God is here with us. In our deliverance, in our reconciliation, in our healing. In our joy and our sorrow and anxiety and our uncertainty and fear, God is with us. In our happiness and our grief, God is with us. And I don't know why things are the way they are, but I know that when I ask the question, where do I see God, I always end up having an answer. I always end up seeing God somewhere. Now If you're a rookie at this, and you're not sure on a practical level, how to see some invisible God in your daily life, here's a place to start. Look for the love in your life. That's where God is. God is love living and active in this world. And when you begin to see the love, you're seeing God. And when you begin to have eyes for God, you start to see God's presence in all sorts of places you couldn't imagine.

Hoping for Jesus
| The Rev. Philip DeVaul![The Rev. Philip DeVaul](https://www.redeemer-cincy.org/uploads/images/philip-devaul_215_small.jpg)
Hoping for Jesus
I’m a talker but I am trying to listen more. I love Jesus. And I believe that Jesus is present in you. I’d like to spend more time seeking out his presence in you and learning from that. When I think of the places where my faith has grown the most, it’s not when I convinced others of anything, but when I listened. So, if you want to talk about Jesus, I am up for it. He is my favorite, and I seek to give my life to him. But that conversation will not be about conversion.
For all my talking, there is something else I do not do: I do not tell you about the tenderest things.
There is a moment in the story of Jesus’ birth that resonates for me: the shepherds have shown up and are paying homage to this little baby. They’re telling Mary and Joseph about the chorus of angels that appeared in the sky and notified them of Jesus’ birth and of all that it meant for them. They abandoned their sheep and ran to Mary and told her of this thing that she already knew in her bones. And in that moment the author simply says, “Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.”
