"Good News for the Broken Hearted" by Rev. Dr.  Fluker
Channel: FBC Dorchester
Date: 26/07/2020

Sometimes, life can seem like just too much to take. And that goes for all of us. As Reverend Dr. Walter Fluker, Martin Luther King Jr. Professor Emeritus of Ethical Leadership at Boston University, reminds us in this sermon, all of us who live here on Planet Earth are candidates for a broken heart-- and we never know when we might be elected.

But there's good news! Give this video a listen if you're feeling sad or lost, or if you think you ever might feel that way again. Dr. Fluker takes us across time and space, from the ancient poetry of the Psalms, to Mary Magdalene at Jesus' tomb on Resurrection Sunday, to Viktor Frankl at Auschwitz and Albert Camus reflecting on Sisyphus, and right up to the birth of the #BlackLivesMatter movement in Ferguson, MO and issues around COVID 19 today.

This sermon was delivered during First Baptist Church of Dorchester's online worship service on Sunday, July 12, 2020. The two passages are Psalm 34:18 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2034%3A18&version=NIV) and John 20:11 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+20%3A11&version=NIV).
