• Sermon: One God. Many Names. One People.
    Jun 2 2025

    One God. Many Names. One People. is a sermon that reclaims African spiritual legacy within the Christian tradition. Rooted in Psalm 97 and John 17:20–26, the message begins with an ancestral invocation, honoring both remembered and forgotten foreparents who now live among the Orisha—divine reflections of God’s unity found in nature. The sermon challenges the demonization of African cosmology by showing how biblical authors themselves praised the elements as testimony to God’s glory. It then reframes Jesus not as a rejection of African spirituality, but as its fulfillment—the sacred name we called when our ancestors’ names were stolen. Rather than uniformity, Christ prays for unity through diversity, affirming the divine truth that African people knew God long before Western doctrines tried to define Him. This message invites listeners to reclaim their spiritual identity and recognize Jesus as a continuation of, not a contradiction to, our sacred African heritage.

  • Christ, Kemet, and the Final Word from the Cross
    Apr 18 2025

    In this Good Friday sermon, Pastor Qadry delivers a soul-stirring message rooted in Afrocentric theology, drawing sacred parallels between the ancient burial of Pharaoh Pepi I of Kemet and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Framed by Luke 23:46, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit,” this 8-minute reflection invokes African spiritual traditions, the 42 Principles of Ma’at, and the redemptive power of sacrifice. What does it mean to live and die in holy alignment? What can we learn from a poor Palestinian refugee who dared to fulfill a divine ritual abandoned by the empire? This is more than a sermon—it is a remembrance, resistance, and return ritual.

  • Sermon: Christ & a Culture of Reconciliation
    Apr 2 2025

    St. Luke United Methodist Church—Bryn Mawr, PA. Centering on the life and legacy of Sojourner Truth, this message challenges traditional interpretations of 2 Corinthians 5:16–21 that promote cultural conformity in the name of Christian unity. Min. Harris reclaims reconciliation as sacred coexistence, not submission, through Africological theology, womanist spirituality, and bold biblical exegesis. From the African origins of humanity to the silenced wisdom of the poor and prophetic voices of Black women, this sermon invites listeners to reimagine what it truly means to be “new creations” in Christ. Tune in and discover how genuine reconciliation allows every culture to worship God without erasure or apology.
