Meredith holladay – the blog. If You Give a People a King. If You Give a People a King. First Baptist Church, Lawrence, Kansas. If you give a mouse a cookie, as the story goes, your whole day will be ruined. This treasured childhood book is a classic example of the worst case scenario game. Do you know this game? I know this game well. By rules of rhetoric, it is a game alternatively known as slippery slope thinking. We’ve been following along the story of Israel as it parallels the story of the La...

Meredith holladay – the blog. The Persistence of Planting, Sermon 10/5/14. Homily given in the Chapel at Country Club Christian Church. On the occasion of the building re-dedication. Text: Isaiah 5.1-7. Have you picked up that today is a special day? It’s a little hard not to. Hard to miss the announcements, the facebook posts, the emails, the lack of orange fencing and conspicuously normal-looking landscaping outside. It’s starting to look less construction zone and more, well, church. Where he reflecte...

Meredith holladay – the blog. 8220;Because of Biblical Women” – Sermon, June 1, 2014. Did you hear the news over the holiday weekend? Perhaps now it seems like old news.

Meredith holladay – the blog. 8220;Around This Table,” Sermon, May 4, 2014. The two men shuffled along. On the road somewhere. A village called Emmaus. A stranger sidled up beside them. Curious. What are you talking about? It took them a minute to answer. The Gospel writer puts it plainly: They stood still, looking sad. Who wants to be the. First one to explain? They are disappointed. Angry. Confused. Grieving. This thing this promise this. They’re shuffling along the road they had hoped. Here we are shu...

Meredith holladay – the blog. The Foolish Farmer – Sermon, 7.13.14. Let those who have ears, listen. A farmer went driving in her tractor set out to sow seeds. But she drew stares. Her method was. Reckless, even she rode around, not looking, throwing seed everywhere. Over her shoulder, off to the side, up in the air. Some of that seed fell far west of here in small towns, people who believe in guns and agriculture, suspicious of cities and books and government. Some of that seed fell in the ICUs of major...
