The Sermon
Preached on Genesis 2: 18-24 and Mark 10:2-16 at Lutheran Church of the Cross in Arlington Heights, IL. I explore if Adam, the first human, was intersex. I explore that Jesus wants justice for women, and that he wasn't talking about divorce in the way we understand it, he was talking about justice. Mostly, I talk about seeing each other as fully human, as coming from the ONE body of Adam that held all genders, and tie that to us being the Body of Christ. Recovering the these texts as being about God's love and creation of all humans, especially the most invisible ones, from the ways they were used to oppress in the past. There is HOPE! I am human, and so are you, we are part of one thing together, and can start to see one another that way. I include suggestions for your week for treating people as extra human, as well as holding onto hope of the resurrection.
