Ronnie McBrayer

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.

"What Can You Do"

"What Can You Do?" was the question put to Jesus by the crowds in John 6. They were interested in Jesus for only the benefits he brought - not who he was.

Grace and Gratitude

In a unique tribute to a friend, Ronnie delivers a message to us all about grace, gratitude, and living a life empowered by thanksgiving.

By the Rivers of Babylon

"Taking a musical approach to this difficult Psalm might the way to get the most out of it," Ronnie says, "because the Psalms were made to be sung." Mixing spoken word with familiar and new songs Ronnie talks the longing we all have for home.

Stop. Drop. Run.

"The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil," said the Apostle Paul, with words not original with him. This warning is as old as humanity, for little is as corrosive to the soul as greed.

Too Proud to Beg

Taking on what might be Jesus' most bewildering story, in this talk Ronnie addresses the lessons found in "The Parable of the Shrewd Servant." The story's "hero" is an obvious crook, but one who still has a much to teach.

Everything is Broken

"As clay in the potter's hands," the prophet Jeremiah wrote. Ronnie picks up this theme to talk about the benefits of brokenness. 

The Voice of Rage and Ruin

Speaking from Psalm 81 and his recent experience in Central America, in this talk Ronnie McBrayer talks about a "Bad Moon Rising," consequences, and how God is not "out to get anyone," but we are often our own worst enemy.

By Degrees

Reflecting upon the anniversary of "The Crisis of Confidence" speech by former president, Jimmy Carter, and using the Lectionary reading from Isaiah 1, Ronnie delivers an impassioned plea to resist the degree by degree collapse of compassion, justice, and doing good.
