Sermon Title - Love's Knowledge: A Sermon on Philippians 1

In this chapel message, James K. A. Smith speaks to life in theological education with the Augustinian insight that in order to know rightly, our loves must be healed, particularly through the Spirit-charged practices of corporate worship and spiritual discipline.

James K. A. Smith (PhD Villanova University) is Professor of Philosophy at Calvin University. He is author of more than 15 books, including his award-winning three-volume Cultural Liturgies project, Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation (Baker Academic, 2009), Imagining the Kingdom: How Worship Works (Baker Academic, 2013), and Awaiting the King: Reforming Public Theology (Baker Academic, 2017).

The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
