Ronnie McBrayer

As You Go

A follow-up to an episode entitled, "Go to Jesus," Ronnie returns to Jesus' Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, focusing on how love is a practical expression of who we can be, not something we do.

Go to Jesus

In the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, Jesus makes clear that he comes to the world in the "least of these" - the weak, poor, downcast, and marginalized. Thus, we meet Jesus "out there" not within a church or even "in our hearts," not taking him to the world, but meeting him along the way.

Ready and Waiting

In this talk, Ronnie turns much of today's obsession with prophecy and the imminent return of Christ on its head, inviting us to consider faith for the long haul, rather than seeing it as an any-second-now escape pod.

A Moveable Feast

Borrowing a legendary title from a legendary author, Ronnie explores Jesus' Parable of the Banquet Feast and how it defies the setting of all boundaries.

Kingdom Come

In this exploration of what Jesus called "The Kingdom of God," Ronnie talks about how the love of Christ can indeed change the world.

Unopened Gifts

In this post-Christmas edition, Ronnie talks about exchanging - and rejecting - certain gifts that are offered. Particularly, the gifts of anger, troubling-making, and toxicity: These must be left unopened, as setting boundaries with poisonous people is an act of well-being and spiritual health.

Living at Peace

In this timely talk, Ronnie talks about the lack of peace in our current society, and its source as the lack of peace within each individual. There is so little peace in the world, because we have so little peace within us.

Forever Is A Mighty Long Time

In the Advent talk that focuses on John the Baptist, Ronnie address how we must wait - sometimes a long, long time - for God's purposes to be fulfilled. While we wait, we work, doing all we can until the Kingdom of God arrives.
(Sorry this took Ronnie "forever," but technical difficulties and travel prevented him from posting new material.)

Faith Untamed

Taking the Lectionary reading from the book of Job, Ronnie speaks on the faith of the patriarch, a faith unlike what most of us have today. Job's was a faith in complete darkness, a faith untamed.

Calling All Saints

For All Saints Sunday, 2019, Ronnie speaks from Ephesians 1 on how all believers are rightly called "saints." It is a message of hope and a challenge to live defiantly in a dark world.
