The sermon was delivered on Sunday, March 20, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION When I took on the task of describing "Are Humanists Saved" for The Point on March 6, I reinterpreted an experience I had about five years ago at a punk rock concert. The conclusions I took from the story five years later were new and in some ways surprising. Come find out how I was "saved" at a punk rock concert and what it means for you and our community. It's probably not what you think.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, March 13, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. David Ruffin, Assistant Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Our tradition long ago rejected the idea that God, being all knowing and all powerful, had pre-destined some to be saved (the elect) and pre-destined others… not to be. "Where does human agency come into that equation?!" said early Unitarians. And yet, nowadays, here at All Souls, we tell EVERYBODY that they're included in God's love. Or, in other words, we tell everyone that they're already saved! But then… what role does our human agency play in that?! Instead of engaging with the age old debate - are we saved by faith alone or by works alone, let's make it personal. What is saving YOU, right now? And what role do you play in being saved, and even saving others? See you in church!

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, March 13, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Executive Director of Ministry. SERMON DESCRIPTION We are a people who believe in original blessing, not original sin. So theoretically, there's nothing for us to be saved from. Certainly we don't need to be saved from death itself. But what if what we really need, is to be saved from our selves? Then our sins – our experiences of turning away from the light and allowing ourselves to be pulled into the darkness – are the signs and signals we need, to help us turn our lives back around. "Sin is our only hope," writes Barbara Brown Taylor, "because the recognition that something is wrong is the first step toward setting it right again."

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, March 6, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Bishop Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Salvation is a daily occurrence, challenge and discipline of life and living. To save or salvage is to rescue something from loss, damage or death, be that a life, a person, a marriage, ministry or business. We spend our lives retrieving or preserving (something) from potential loss or adverse circumstances. Doing so is an art, a science, a sequence and a sacred trust of all benevolent and responsible souls.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, February 21, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Bishop Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Unity and Diversity is the anthemic motto of the United States, but has never been fully expressed or experienced, except perhaps in times of national catastrophe. To accomplish this concept of the Beloved community, we must understand that we don't have to go along to get along, that we can mind many of the same things without necessarily having the same mind about everything. E pluribus Unum means out of many One. On a spiritual level, I say "Out of One Essence Many." This is an important aspect of Universalism.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, February 21, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by David Ruffin, Assistant Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION One of the grandest stories we tell in these United States is of our great unity amidst our diversity. E pluribus unum... "out of many one!" We are many… but how united are we really? And do we really honor and respect our differences? We long for union and connection, sensing some greater truth in oneness. But we also fear difference and long for security. Amidst these competing commitments, we often settle for a story of unity, even if down deeper we know it ain't necessarily so. So let's set aside our idealized visions of holding hands across America, and our idealized visions of our own lives while we're at it, and explore anew where we each really are… And how we might yet come together.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, February 14, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Executive Director of Ministry. SERMON DESCRIPTION As our nation celebrates the idealized notion of romantic love, we will dig a little deeper for the gold hidden in the experienced hearts of our own members. How many times can a heart be broken and still give and receive love? How long can a marriage last and still be full of energy and intimacy? I have talked to several couples in our congregation who have been married more than 50 years, but also newlyweds, divorcees, and singles. I promise, you'll leave with a few good tips for whatever relationship you're nurturing these days …. including those of you focused primarily on healthy self love.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, February 7, 2016, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by David Ruffin, Assistant Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION One of the grandest, boldest lies we tell in these United States is of our great unity amidst our diversity. E pluribus unum... "out of many one." Purple America! We are many… but are we so united? And to the extent that we are, do we truly honor and respect our differences? We humans do long for union and for the experience of connection. We sense some greater truth in oneness. But, we also covet control and certainty. Amidst these competing commitments, the story and feeling of unity in diversity is a compromise for which we often settle, even if down deeper we know it ain't necessarily so. What truly holds us together? For that matter, what holds one individual together and me together? Is there unity amidst the diversity of our own identities? Let's set aside our dreams of holding hands across America, for a moment at least, and start here by looking deeper within.
