Title:
Richard Lischer - "Ruth 1 - 4: Counterstory" (November 12, 2000)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 1:27. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 25:59.

  • This sermon demonstrates the power of God's counterstory to all of the world's stories--celebrating women despite patriarchy, celebrating foreigners despite xenophobia, inserting God's presence in the ordinary and mundane despite the world's obsession with power--and calls Christians to look for counterstories in the Bible, in the church, and in the world. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: "Whenever you hear the word 'cross' or 'kingdom,' know that you are in the presence of a counterstory that means to steal you away from the kingdoms of nation, power, success, and ego. The cross has a story to tell....a mighty God who visits only the poor and those who are vulnerable."
