She's my relative
Brought to us from the church of "Anything Goes"
I love the harmony✨that was beautiful
Beautiful! Thank you.
uplifting😁
got that Johnny Cash thing goin on
Great rendition!!!
We need more of this. Don't stop putting out the message.
Beautiful! Loved it! Thank you for sharing!
This is not the time to get lessons from water lillies, but to teach the good soil messages of the word of GOD . Not one word about the person of CHRIST, neither grace nor judgement of GOD. Ops, i forgot. You don't teach such, do you. Forgive me.
John is my hero 💗
🤣😂🤣 what a joke
I love watching/listening to these, thank you for uploading them to RUclips :)
we need to pass the equal rights amendment
💔 🄿🅁🄾🄼🄾🅂🄼
My all-time fav hymn!! I want it at my Memorial when I move on!
When you talk about the demon from Amy Poehler I couldn't help but laugh but I could totally relate as I've battle that voice most of my life. It's difficult most days. I'm grateful for the community I find myself in here to help me thru.
Powerful!
That was just lovely, truly. Thank you.
Lovely
Her name mispelled in the title.
One knee symbolize respect union marriage power worship protection
Amen!
Please supply the two phrases that were blocked out just before 10:40.....
The intentions.......I pray we may speak them, we may pursue them.
This is far different from the legendary shows that happen at this church
as usual, what i needed to hear. thank you, Rev. Abbey.
Very meaningful sermon! Thank you!
Thank you.
do you eat sugar to this day and perpetuate the very thing your speaking of?
I had to listen to this a second time to make sure I didn't miss something. This was an incredible message and I truly needed to hear it. Plus am more blessed to share it will so many others who I KNOW will be blessed by it. I will do my very best to show some love to myself. Thank you for these wise words truly.
Beautiful!!!!!
this is beautiful! thank you.
The last time I felt this dissociated after a UU sermon, I was told I needed to reconcile myself to my abusive, toxic family that I was N/C with at that point three years. Trans people literally biohack ourselves. I changed federal policy in the face of an openly fascist regime with a hair tie, an ice pack, and a utility knife. That is how I was forced to perform my orchiectomy. Include us. Do better.
This is new age teaching, you are not sharing the word of God. Jesus is our hope and Joy. He is the prince of peace
GOD GREATED ALL THESE THINGS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
Why don't you talk about the miracles of Yeshua!! He is our Hope And our focus must be on him. Him alone. BLESS YOU.! SHALOM.
Hey guys thank you. A sincere rendition of one of Jackson’s finest songs. I suspect this song will be sung in many communities around the world.
like the keybs!
Very very nice and cosy...❗💙
Sweet.
Sweet.
My favorite version of this ❤️🦋
@14:47 (timestamping so you know I watched to the end and am asking earnestly) Where do trans bodies fit into this? There is no group of people I know of more ready to chuck off ALL of the harmful stuff talked about in this sermon than trans people. And yet, we don't even get so much as a mention. Even though there are currently 33 states with laws being written against us, some of which seek to criminalize even providing life-saving medical care for us. Two of which have been signed into law. So where do trans bodies fit into this? If it's "don't change your body because you are fearfully and wonderfully made", you're advocating genocide, and you should own it. And if you mean to tell me that I'm not already doing what I can to protect people from harm and undo evil because I'm pushing forward with my transition, I've been doing that already and will continue to do so until I die. So please answer my question. Because I'm tired of seeing TERF stuff in UU congregations.
I loved this sermon SO much and I’m very glad it made it to RUclips <3
Awesome message!
Hi all this song the original recording kept me going during lockdown .Maybe gods way .I live in the South West of Australia.My occupation is Working amongst the passed at a cemetery just kept going with Gods grace.
