Of Prophets & Crocuses & Queers

“My entire life, I have been searching for that space behind my mother’s chair … and I wonder if you have been, too.  That safe place I can squeeze into not with someone who is perfect, but with others who struggle as I do, as we all do, with balancing the hope that we are loved and safe with the reality of all the times we have not been.  In whispers being able to have the conversations we do not yet have the courage or perhaps even the vocabulary to have in the rest of the world. Trusting that if we cross boundaries, a gentle growl will let us know … but even then, we know we need not fear because grace, trust and love are strong enough.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. on St. Francis/Blessing of the Animals Sunday, October 3, 2021 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Psalm 103:1–17 and Mark 10:13–18. Watch the sermon on YouTube. Read the text of the sermon here. Follow All Saints Church on Twitter @ASCpas.

The Space Behind My Mother’s Chair

“I wonder … what would Bathsheba’s telling of the story look like? I can scarcely imagine … and yet I know there are those among us here who can imagine only too well. Who have your own stories of violation and imprisonment, abuse and rape. Of being told you are responsible for men’s actions because of how you look or act or dress. Of being judged if your body is unappealing to a man and being told you were assaulted because it was too appealing. Of having even that most sacred of moments, you alone in the bath, violated because there is nowhere you can escape the memory, the fear, the voices that lie and say maybe the people who are telling you it was your fault … are right.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. on Celebration of Ministries Sunday, September 26, 2021 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

She Was Taking a Bath

“We did not go through everything we have been through these past 18 months – that we are still going through -- to have this world be the same … to have us be the same … as we were before this all started. As if it ever could! As if we ever could! We have been challenged and we have been changed … and we are still being challenged and we are still being changed … and there is a gift amidst the pain and it is the gift of the opportunity … to reimagine.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. on Homecoming Sunday, September 19, 2021 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. “Reimagine” written and performed by Jason Luckett.

Healing the Splits in our Lives - Bilingual

“A Jesus who weeps. A Jesus who calls us out of our hiding places. A Jesus who says, “I am going to meet you where you are” “I am going to stay with you tonight” is a Jesus who stands among us and tells us that grieving, that weeping is definitely about vulnerability and it isn’t a sign of weakness or lack of faith but of strength an love. That grieving, that weeping is about being truly human and about being deeply moved by the genuinely hard and even tragic things that happen to all of us in life. About letting something touch us deep inside on those days when it feels like the music has died.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, August 29, 2021 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

Something Touched Me Deep Inside ... the Day the Music Died

“Y es así, que después del domingo doce de septiembre, ya no tendremos un servicio religioso a la una de la tarde en la Iglesia de Todos los Santos… Y... seguiremos soñando con un nuevo y emocionante futuro... y espero que seas parte de ese sueño. Soñaremos con una nueva oportunidad de reunirnos para el servicio religioso en español. Soñaremos con nuevos maneras  para que los miembros latinos-hispanos de esta congregación reclamen el poder que es legítimamente suyo en el servicio religioso y en la vida de la iglesia. Soñaremos en grande y soñaremos juntos.” “And so, after Sunday, Sept. 12, we will no longer have a 1 pm service at All Saints Church… And … we will continue to dream of an exciting new future … and I hope you will be part of that dreaming. We will dream of a new opportunity to gather for Spanish language worship. We will dream of new ways for Latino-Hispanic members of this congregation to claim the power that is rightfully theirs in worship and in the life of the church. We will dream big, and we will dream together.” Sermon by Mike Kinman for Bilingual Spanish/English Worship at All Saints Church, Pasadena at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 29, 2021.

Finales y comienzos -- Endings and Beginnings

“We cannot let the memory of the way things used to be become our God. Because if we do, we will become enslaved to its production, we will never heal and we will never be free. This is one of those moments where we have to break the rules. Where we have to let go of the expectations. This is one of those moments where we have to realize the rules and expectations are holding us in fear rather than setting us free. This is one of those moments where we have to just say to hell with everything else, the only thing that matters … is love. And that is how we get to live.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, August 22, 2021 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.
