wear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Welcome” it says, because we are
a hospitable, an open and affirming church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A church for all people, all the time, no matter what.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I wonder about what it takes to be a
welcoming spiritual community; the enormity of it all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not simply speaking of being welcoming in
terms of LGBTQ+ issues, but in all the ways of being welcoming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, theological welcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, there’s the issue of what it physically
takes to be a welcoming community: place, preparation, time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thinking again of the words of Thurman’s

this morning, you will remember that Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples, a central
figure in the Christian community even now, was called on the carpet for his choosiness,
his xenophobia – his dislike of people because of their nationality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His reasoning was that people who were
non-Jewish were unclean, sinners, unworthy, outside of their God’s
concern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cornelius was a Greek, coming
from a nation and culture that worshipped many gods and had other “strange”
customs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, he was a military man; a
man of war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even so, Cornelius freely
accepted the good news Jesus taught, and the ministry of his disciples.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He, and many others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For these reasons, it took heaven and earth
to move Peter off of his butt and out of his preconceived notions of who was
acceptable and who was not acceptable in the Kin-dom of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It took awhile, but he did move, and the rest
is history.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 200%;"> </span></b></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

church are called to welcome everyone who finds life and health in the
Gospel. We are called to spread this good news without fear or favor of
any person or group regarding anything; the identifiers they assume for
themselves, or the one's culture assigns to them. The Church stands as an
alternative society; its reason for existing and the ways it operates are
different from other institutions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love
is its doctrine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Discerning God’s truth
is its sacrament.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Service is its
prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And trust in the Spirit of God
is the glue that binds it all together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
transformation and well-being of all people is its bottom line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless, like Peter, we often pick and
choose what we see and respond to in the call to discipleship issued by Jesus
of Nazareth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We busy ourselves making
our church’s comfortable for ourselves that we sometime don’t realize that
we’ve made it uncomfortable for someone else, or, impossible for them to come
in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At times, like Peter, we focus on
non-essentials instead of identifying what is essential – critical to true
community.</span></span></div>

</span>But, we should no be choosy because we have a chance everyday to do the
gospel, be the gospel in the most intimate and tedious way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are choosing to guard against anything

upwards of ten couples sharing the same dance floor at the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can’t help but bump, or lightly brush up
against someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The key to all of it is
that you know where you and your partner’s bodies are on the dance floor at all
times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You two are counting at the same
time, all the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know every step

</span>You’re probably familiar with it because of The Byrds’1965 release of
“Turn, Turn, Turn.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What follows in this
passage is a long list of seven contrary pairs, each with two pairs of
opposites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joy and tragedy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rest and labor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life and death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This chapter, indeed the entire book, is
about living life as it always comes - in cycles with opposites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The good and the bad always abutting each
other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s as inconvenient and
nonsensical as it is rich and fulfilling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There’s no stopping or changing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Absolutely none!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So is discerning
God, speaking to God, listening for God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes we get something, other times, not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trouble comes when we try to make our lives
and our life in God all about logic, orthodoxy, ‘shoulds’ and ‘oughts’, and rewards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is then when we get out of sync with
God, with life, and we become stuck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

will be – with us, for us, for others; creating and recreating for God’s good
pleasure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our job is to keep dancing with

hardly finish my workout on the treadmill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I gave up and went home, gathered my strength and everything seemed to
be fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next day, Friday, it took

to understand what the doctor meant, how close I was to dying. Thank God for
blood thinners!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, as I settled in for
a second week in the hospital – and 5 roommates later – I had my back to the
door and was staring out the window.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
wasn’t asleep, and I wasn’t anxious about anything, and I wasn’t on any other
drug.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I saw my dad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He came through the door of my room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dressed in his usual jet black suit with
crisp white oxford shirt and blue necktie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

face that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw him as clearly as I
am seeing you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said nothing, but walked
towards me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I began to panic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And instantly he moved backwards with his
hands up and went away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess the
reason why I was afraid was that my brother and sisters and I had buried him
two months prior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve never had an

don’t do that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It didn’t involve anyone
else except my dad and me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, there
was not a big revelation, no “This was the interpretation of the vision of your
dad.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, what I’ve come to understand
these 13 years later is that the space between life and death is very
thin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think we see the space
because we are, for good or ill, products of the Enlightenment; we are so
wedded to the rational, what can be explained by microscopes, test tubes, and
longitudinal studies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, thanks to
John Calvin and all of the theologians of the 16<sup>th</sup> century for
excising any and all things that lent themselves to mystery and sacred symbolism

pulpits across the nation today have a lot of nerve to be speaking from this
text.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s one of those passages that
reminds a lot of people why they don’t like clergy folk in the first place;
judgmental know-it-alls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well we might
be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless, we press on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our sermon titles will be different, but what
the text suggests is pretty much the same: <b>the texture, depth, and tenor of
our Christianity as a movement of people:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>that’s what matters</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>The
point of Christianity, our Christian lives, is to open up to God - God’s joy,
God’s peace, God’s purposes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For us and
all people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the point of churches
like ours is to help us understand that <i>learning, praying, and acting is how
we open up to God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></b>And I am
persuaded that this irritating text points exactly to that: that church is a
learning and praying and acting body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>But first, to
talk about a “real religion” suggests that there is a “fake religion”, or a
“pretend religion, and, that there is a pure, untainted religion out in the
world somewhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The trouble with the
idea of a “real religion” lies in who’s doing the judging, what’s their
criteria, and, why in the world does this matter anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are millions of Christians around the
world, coming from cultures older than our own, practicing Christianity in a </span><span lang="IT" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: IT;">variet</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;">y of ways; in ways that may seem
strange to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And to top it off, within
all these communities there are millions and millions of Christian
experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, who’s to say which
experience is authentic, more real, the correct one, the one that Jesus
taught?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John the Baptist says so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>John the
Baptist, that larger than life gospel figure stomps into our lives this Advent
season as loudly and obnoxiously as he does every Advent season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This larger than life man tells us,
“Repent!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Repent!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He pisses off the Temple priests and lawyers and
scribes in Judea by claiming that being linked to God via Abraham was not
enough to be considered a righteous person and gain entrance into God's
heaven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John said that </span><b><span lang="NL" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: NL;">deeds</span></b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;">, works of righteousness, being in
right relationship with others in matters of justice as well as piety was what
God really desired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He gets himself
killed by the Romans, maybe with the help of the Temple elites, by baptizing
people who came to hear him preach of a “new way” to be in harmony with God;
the coming of Messiah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This went
contrary to, and undercut, the position and voice of the Temple. People were
listening to him instead of them. </span></span></div>

<div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The way that the gospel writer Matthew
remembers it, </span><span lang="DE" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: DE;">John </span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;">the Baptizer does not mince words drawing a distinction between true
followers of God and the pretend ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>John refers to them as stones and then the true children; the repentant
and the </span><span lang="ES-TRAD" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD;">un-repentant</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;">; the wheat and the chaff; the living and the dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Talk about a man who is no shrinking
violet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said it as he saw it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For John the matter is settled:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you are either ready and worthy of the
kingdom of heaven or you are not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
will either get in or you will not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
only way to be sure is if your profession and your behavior match up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says: <b><i>Bear fruit worthy of
repentance</i></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bear fruit worthy of
your own baptism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember your
baptismal vows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Baptism is essential to
the Christian life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is our</span><span lang="DE" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: DE;">
touchstone,</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> the seal of
our initiation into the family of the God of Jesus Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, it is only the beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our faith needs to be worked out in the joy
and the laughter of life as well as and particularly in the rough and tumble of
everyday life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John lifts up the imagery
of a tree, a branch that produces a blossom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’s the quintessential way we know that the tree is alive - it bears
fruit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the same is true for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need to bear fruit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ask myself, what kind of fruit am I
bearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How am I growing from one
season to the next?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How am I moving from
one season to the next?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I ask you
what kind of fruit are you bearing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is
there anything about us that suggests that we are alive and producing not only
the fruit of the spirit - <i>love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control</i> - but also the fruit that specifically
looks and tastes and smells like <b><i>mercy, grace, welcome, support, healing,
advocacy, and justice</i></b>?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are we
producing that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think we are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes we can’t see it but others remind
us.</span></span></div>

presume to set in judgment on anyone’s faith and religious life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s all I can do to keep myself facing
forward and on track with the Spirit of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But, as far as I can tell, for this moment we have together, the gospel
writers recalled </span><span lang="SV" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: SV;">Jesus</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;">’ ministry as real religion because it was not sectioned off from his
everyday life an the everyday lives of those around him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has to be the same for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Real religion for Jesus and for us has to be
about two things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, it has to
deepen and mature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can’t stop at the
Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
has to go beyond church membership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
has to reach for substantive learning and being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It surpasses a craving for happiness that
prizes our self-preservation at the expense of others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has to be more than craving for happiness.</span></span></div>

<div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The second
thing that real religion must be about is pushing against the narrative of
scarcity: <b><i>not enough security</i></b>, <b><i>not enough purity</i></b>,
and <b><i>not enough resources</i></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Real religion rejects the mantra that we are being invaded and we must
close ourselves off from the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Instead real relition welcomes the stranger, the refugee, the
disenfranchised.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Real religion rejects
the doctrine of polluting bodies; that difference in language, religion, skin
color, nationality, sexuality, and gender and politics are threat to
"our" existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Real religion
realizes that God and the life of the world are infinitely more complicated
than the narrow boxes and ideologies we have been conditioned to believe are
fixed and unchangeable. Real religion pushes back from that. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Real religion works to dismantle policies that
impoverish the many for the enrichment of a few.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who around us needs to be gathered up in our
arms and led to know that there is more to life?</span></span></div>

<div class="Body" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Real religion
is about transformation, not self-preservation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As generations of Christians before us who saw the world of their day as
being on the brink of disaster and ripe for God to step in and intervene, we
most certainly could do the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
could hide our heads in the collective cultural sands of our time, even do just
enough for the Kin-Dom of God just to make ourselves feel good that we've done
something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We could be a church within
two denominations focused on our own needs and desires.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, we could go for broke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Go for the real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cultivate the soil in which we stand and open
ourselves up to God and God’s purposes so that God will produce in us fruit
worthy of our calling as one’s who have been water washed and Spirit-born. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In this Advent
season, this post-election season, particularly as times are stressful - many
of us would like to point to a time when life was not so complicated, full of
voices and perspectives that differ from and challenge our beliefs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As frustrating and tempting as it may be to
find comfort and security in an earlier time, regardless of the search, there
is always the need to be clear about the thing one is seeking to preserve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Searching for that which is worth or worthy
of preserving…is the point of faith and religion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As much as we are waiting on Jesus, to return
to earth, to return to us again everyday of our lives<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- sharpening our vision, inspiring our
imagination, enlightening our understanding of the scriptures, maturing our
prayer life, strengthening our resolve - the God of Jesus of Nazareth is
waiting on us to be available, to be shaped, to be filled, to be used - to live
into a “real religion” that is as audacious and infectious as John the
Baptizer’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are being called to open
up to God and what God is doing. Are you willing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How are you preparing?</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In 1693, George
Keith, formerly a Quaker, wrote a pamphlet entitled “An Exhortation and Caution
to Friends Concerning Buying and Keeping Negroes.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t until 1781, 88 years later, that
the Quakers in the New England colonies prohibited their members form
slaveholding.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>During the Second
World War the villagers of Le Chambon in south-central France hid over 5,000
Jews from the Nazis and smuggled them to Switzerland when it was safe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As of today, over
24 Christian denominations and organizations have submitted public statements
in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the other native nations that
have joined in a confederation with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And, many of their members of these denominations have gone to Standing
Rock and lent their physical and material support in numerous ways, including
being water-hosed in freezing temperatures and arrested. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>These are just
three instances where the Church of Jesus Christ has been alert, watchful, and
engaged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without a doubt there have been
others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may not be feasible or
desirable for many of us in this fellowship to be at Standing Rock, or at any
of the several post-election protests being held around the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless, this passage of scripture is
for us today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Keep alert”, “Be ready”,
Jesus tells the disciples who had been following him for almost three years, learning,
serving, growing a small meeting of several men into a small community of women
and men of all sorts that had come to irritate the Roman government in the
region of Palestine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus’ words come
as a ‘“heads-up.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because something big was about to happen, to
the Jewish community and the Jewish-Christian community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Roman government would bring all its
power down on their heads and send them scattering to the four winds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sow seeds of doubt and dissension among
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have them work at
cross-purposes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then they will destroy
their own community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take over their
institutions, dismantle key ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Disperse them among the nations of the world and no one would ever
remember that they existed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those were
dangerous times in the first century of this common era.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And these are dangerous times that we live
in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are dangerous not simply
because of cryptic prophecies, but because we see corruption, greed, despair,
and complacency with our own eyes, in the wider world, and in our churches
themselves. </span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Even so, these are
fantastic times to be alive just as much as they are dangerous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life is always a mix of both.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our lives, the lives of people around us, the
life of the world always seems to be teetering on the cusp of falling headlong
into some crazy chaos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless,
Jesus’ words to us to stay vigilant, poised, to wake up and act is for us in
our time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the Quakers (Society of
Friends) in the 18th century did it, we can, too!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the Protestant villagers in Le Chambon
during WWII did it, we can, too!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If our
sisters and brothers at Standing Rock can do it, we can, too!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we are unsure about our mission - how to
carry out our mission - we need only to take a look at these witnesses and
follow their example.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Open your
eyes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Look up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take a second look, because what you may be
looking at is not what needs to be seen; there’s something deeper to
understand, to hear, to wrestle with, to commit to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We live by our
devices, our clocks, bells, schedules, Post-Its, and coffee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of these we ignore and our lives are not
so out of gear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can usually find our
footing and then we’re off and running again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But, one thing we can’t afford NOT to do is to be awake, alert, and
watchful, as engaged Christians.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>24/7
Christians.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because so much is at stake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Had the Quakers, the villagers of La Chambon,
and the protestors at Standing Rock been asleep, think how worse our society
would be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It matters that we are
awake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It matters that we are
engaged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It matters that we reconcile
ourselves to the fact that being Christian is a forever calling that is
costly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a calling that is sharpened
every time we stand up, stand with, speak out, speak with regarding any kind of
destruction of lives, of communities, of the ideals of justice, equity, and
peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that’s not easy; it’s not
always convenient, because we are subject to get hurt in the process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On this first
Sunday of Advent, we sit with many congregations in the Christian community,
listening, singing, and watching in hopeful expectation of Jesus’ arrival among
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, we hear again the story of his
arrival almost 2,000 years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, we
await his arrival - again - in our clock-driving lives, in our church, in our
homes, at our workplace, in our halls of justice, in lives and homes that are
in chaos and needing a deep and abiding peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His is a continual coming, because we are continually in need of being
reminded that God is with us - lighting our way, bearing us up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God is with us catching our attention and
strengthening us to go and do what we think we cannot do, for the sake of the
good news of God’s Kingdom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Heads up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This Advent season, and any other season we
get to be alive, we get see God calling us to embrace the implausible: an
angel, a star, a pregnant teenage girl, a poor father-to be, a feeding trough
in a barn, a cooing baby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Head’s
up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be alert!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get ready!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Something wonderfully dangerous is about to happen, and we’re invited to
participate in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are you ready?</span></div>

spare this morning because I feel it’s needful to give space for some “holy
venting.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By that I mean expressing our confusion
and dissatisfaction to God, and asking God what God is up to from here on
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m persuaded that God can take
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, this morning I’d like for us
to hear from each other about what we’ve heard God say to us these last few
days regarding how our nation can move forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As much as venting can be cathartic, I’d like for us to embrace the
ministry of accompaniment: how we come alongside and support each other in our
various ministries and causes without losing sight of our common struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, we are one body, with various gifts

chose back in September.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Three things I
want us to think about now and remember as we move forward: (1) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the end is not near</b>, (2) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we need to make up our minds now</b>, and

end is not near</i></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With all due
respect to my Dispensationalist friends, the world and the Church are always
getting to to the end of something and starting the beginning of something
else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life sometimes seems to be one big
Mobius strip; the beginning and the end just folding into one another – ending and
starting all at the same time and you can’t distinguish one from the other. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The world and the Church are full of so much
turning and changing and shifting; so much troubling of the waters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Depending on the issue at hand, you may be
head-over-heels glad about the change, or, you may be as mad as you know where
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not gonna take it anymore</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reflex on either side of the divide is to
cry doom and destruction; that our culture, our nation, the world is coming to
an end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tend not to read scripture that
way, but</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;">, I’m only one person and who cares?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I’m persuaded that our passage this

</span>Many in the Church apply this injunction to literal tragedies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s a sermon for another Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I do know that (1) many people who can
see are still blind, (2) many people who have full use of their legs are not
mobile, (3) many people who have received a clean bill of health are dealing
with terminal illnesses, (4) people who do not wear hearing aids or cochlear
ear implants are still deaf, and (5) some people who are walking around among
us are “dead-er” than a doorknob.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Indeed, we move among them on our streets, on our jobs, in our families,
and without a doubt in our churches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
need to make up our minds that the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth is not about our
personal salvation, but for the deliverance, transformation, awakening of all
people; that we are all to be reconciled to God and to each other…as a species
of people who share this planet</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> and a common destiny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s

hate and fear and panic</i>, and, (2) stay focused because “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">for I
will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to
withstand or contradict</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a moment to testify to God’s power to
tear down walls of hostility, to sow and harvest the seeds of justice, and to
re-create all our hearts as well as our world.</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Douglas
P. deSilvey lived in Gulfport, Mississippi all his life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He lived there with his wife, daughter, and
his in-laws.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To him, they were his
world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They did everything together, and
he considered himself a blessed man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
an interview he said of his wife, daughter, and his mother-in-law, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“These three women in my family have steered
my life for the past 59 years, to the man that I am today."</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, when Hurricane Katrina hit, they did what
they had done for all the other storms – they went to his in-laws’ home because
it was on higher ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They would ride
this one out and get back to normal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shortly
after arriving at his in-laws, Douglas looked out at the bay and realized that
the waters were rising fast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hurricane
Katrina had made landfall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as he
tried to warn his family of the danger that was imminent, the roof collapsed
killing his wife Linda, Donna his daughter, and his in-laws, Nadine and Ted. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Months later in
his StoryCorp recording, Douglas reflected on that event and said that he’s
asked God many, many questions about why he lost his family like that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says that he hasn’t gotten any
answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He just gets up every day and goes
to his job. But now, he has no one to work for, to plan for, to save for. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t have to have experienced Hurricane
Katrina or any other natural disaster to know what devastation feels like; to
have one’s world turned upside down, the focus of our life taken away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe it was a death, a divorce, an
unfavorable diagnosis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re left like
Douglas deSilvey asking questions and waiting for answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we’re also faced with the demand of
“moving on,” picking up whatever pieces we can find and rebuilding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘Moving on’ can be painful, almost
unconscionable to entertain, particularly when our memories act like floodwaters
that never seem to ebb.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Birthdays and
holidays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Purchases and promises.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meals shared and plans made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What do we do with them?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">What
are we to do with the stuff of loss and <i>how do we go forward</i>? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">“God doesn’t give us more than we can
bear.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Time heals all wounds.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Hang in there, you’ll get over this.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ve heard these statements and others like
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And while they each may have a
grain of truth in them, they sting and ring hollow upon a grieving heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But those were similar words of support
Haggai offered to the people of Judah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was trying to stir them up after they had been displaced by war. He
says, “Take courage.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Be
courageous.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>Start rebuilding the
Temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can do this!</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow, how flat that must have fallen on some
of their ears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Easier said than done,
Haggai!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How were they supposed to do
that when the center of their life had been destroyed – The Temple?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Temple was the center of their religious,
cultural and national life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the
markers that told them who they were, what they stood for, and what was
possible for them had been smashed to smithereens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where was this <i>courage</i> supposed to
come from?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Nerve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Pluck. Valor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Daring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Audacity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mettle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Resolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
goes by a dozen or so names.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, one
thing we would all probably agree upon is that courage only surfaces when we
are afraid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It usually doesn’t come when
we ask for it. It has come to me when I’ve been terrified; when I’m doing the
thing I’m afraid to do…to face…to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Looking back, courage has come to me in hushed tones, never in a lion’s
roar; telling me to stay with it just five more minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Courage has come to me in moments when
standing up was the only right thing to do; to stretch and expand my horizon
and re-examine how I define myself – by what things I define myself?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tears and suffering that accompany
courage ask me “What’s driving my life?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“What’s driving your fear?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Maybe the way to understand Haggai’s words
to those refugees of war was not <i>Get a stiff upper lips, folks,</i> but as
an invitation to see that our life in this world which is centered in the heart
of God is about <i>soulwork</i> – that sharpening of the inner ear, deepening
our capacity to </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">sense and see beyond our current frames of reference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This kind of being doesn’t happen overnight,
but over a lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the work of
God; drawing us by the Spirit’s tether into the deeper life of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A life that is not full of pat answers and
quick fixes. Who knows what life will be like after Tuesday? But take courage,
we will wake up the next day and God is in control. We are open to hearing what
new thing God will do in our life, and in the life of our nation and our world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">As high-handed as it may sound, pain and
ruin do not have to be the last words about our life. Loss and starting
over are opportunities to give birth to something new; a chance to recognize
that it is the Spirit of God who keeps us, and it is the people of God who help
us capture a vision of God’s plans for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Village Church, <i>take courage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>Accept
the invitation to discover what God wants to do in your life, in the life of
our congregation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Response:</span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Are there reflections
or impressions that any of us would like to share in response to the topic, the
passage of scripture?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

had a family that he had to take care of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And over time, the opportunity to be a tax collector and move up the
ladder just…presented itself to him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
“deal” one he just couldn’t refuse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
he didn’t want to refuse because of what it would mean for his family, his
reputation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No more groveling, no more
hand to mouth/paycheck-to-paycheck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
people of Jericho would look up to him, and see what a big man he had

now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not “Zacchaeus, but, Mr. Zacchaeus!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He knew that the people of Jericho and the

what they called him: sellout, traitor, conspirator, robber.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sinner!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;">rabbi from Nazareth was different,
not like the others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had been a very,
very long time since he went to synagogue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He wasn’t allowed to on account of his job with the Romans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, several times he had heard Jesus
speaking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was in the streets more
often during the week than in the synagogue; going here and there, talking to
people, making some pretty bold statements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jesus was in the streets, along the Jericho road where anything could
happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Same texts, but Jesus talked
about them in a way that was different from the other rabbis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The way Jesus talked there seemed to be room
in God’s house for people – people like him; room for the poor who were
innocent, and room for the rich who were guilty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, when Zacchaeus heard that Jesus was
coming to Jericho, that’s when he knew he had to do something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had to make a decision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s when he decided to make his
decision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Throw caution to the
wind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Expose himself to ridicule and
above all make himself look like an idiot as opposed to remain as the
self-assured insider that his profession and government connections afforded
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get to Jesus and make a
connection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So he runs ahead of the
others, climbs up the tree, and concurs with Jesus that he should take him to
his home for a meal and conversation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
climbs down the tree when Jesus comes and before too long the words are running
out of his mouth, telling what he has already done, what he will do, what he
was going to give.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He probably surprised
himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It probably sounded like
gibberish to everyone else who was listening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am persuaded that often our prayers are no more than gibberish as we
pour out our hearts to Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people
around him thought he was a joke, and that Jesus was a joke for going to his
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, as they say, “There’s no
time like the present.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And every
decision has its day.</span></span></div>

your name on it; a road where you will have to make a decision, or reconfirm a
decision you’ve made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A decision to be,
or not to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A decision to stand and be
exposed for what that decision entails.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A decision to be Christian – with all of its baggage and all of its
blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A decision to be a part of
something bigger than us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

to go down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A decision to make as we
travel it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And there is sycamore tree
for all of us to climb that will signal to others that we have aligned
ourselves with something and someone bigger than us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A cause bigger than our plans for ourselves,
our particular church; bigger than what politicians, scientists, and average
geniuses like you and me can discern for this world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But that’s just the initial decision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The decision to be a follow of the God of
Jesus of Nazareth…to do the work of the Spirit of God inspired is a decision we
have to reaffirm and recommit to everyday. We have to recommit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our experience on the Jericho road can change
us, to make us turn away from the outside and turn to the one who can help
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The actions on the Jericho road can
change our hearts. The goings-on on the Jericho Road can lead us to change our
mind, “re-evaluate” our decision, leave off the decision we’ve made because,
because, because.</span></span></div>

as well as the tumult of our lives just as he called out to Zacchaeus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Hurry and come down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I need to come to your house and share with
you what God had planted in my heart.” Jesus and Luke tell us that we, no
matter who we are or what we have done, are called to come down and be with
Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Friends, let’s come down from
wherever we are in our hearts and minds that would keep us from going up our
sycamore trees in the first place to see what Jesus has to say…has for us to be
and do, because we, too, are children of Abraham, “pure ones” like Zacchaeus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beloved of God. </span></span></div>

sensibilities. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Today we will not read the
scripture. Today we will hopefully make sense of the scripture in a way that
will bring it to life for us, so that we can apply it to our current situation
in this very church. I know that this is the goal each Sunday, but I want to be
explicit today that this is what I am trying to do. Today we will ENACT
scripture, hopefully for our benefit.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Sometimes people struggle to
understand the Bible, and they feel like they aren’t really a GOOD CHRISTIAN if
they don’t. However, the Bible is a collection of different types of literature
- each having its own purpose. So, in the same way that we don’t read the phone
book for inspiration, we are going to use the scripture today, in the way it’s
intended, for information to assist us in our current situation. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Let me give you a quick
example to make sure you get where I am going: a recipe is essentially a list
with information. You use the list part at the store to gather what you need,
and then the directions at home to assemble the parts in order that you make a
satisfying meal.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So lists are not essentially
inspirational, unless we know how to interpret the data. The results of using
the information found in a list can be very satisfying. We’ll come back to that
thought in a moment or two.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Now, why am I specifically
claiming that today’s word is for us in the here and now? Well, we are in a
state of change at the Village church. We are building a relationship with a
new pastor, as our founding pastor recently stepped down from ministry here at
the Village. Before Cheri left us, we had begun a discussion about the fact
that our numbers at the Village had been dropping. We had several discussions
about events to invite people to the church. And yet, our numbers had been
dropping… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>leaving gaps where they had
previously stood and served. In addition, we have been discussing some people
in the church feeling burned out, over taxed and that some do all the work here,
and how do we deal with that? </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So, now we have to look at a
project that was undertaken by an incredibly prayerful and organized leader… my
main man, Nehemiah. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The walls – a symbol of strength
and protection - had been down for 152 years. After Nehemiah mourns, prays, and
comes up with a plan; He asks for safe passage to go survey the damage. Which
brings us to chapter 3 of Nehemiah… and so I have to issue an activity warning…
I am going to need YOUR help. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This list, which seems
uninteresting, is more informational BECAUSE of the same details it drops into
the regularity of a work order… </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It is a list of who does
what… but it is also a fairly repetitive piece of informational text. And yet…
within it there are nuggets or gems of information which we may never have
noted because we would be put off by the dullness of the majority of it. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I have some index cards and I
would like you to write on this what your name is (and if you so choose, your
heritage, or lineage) and then I want you to write what you understand your
role to be in building the Village.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So Nehemiah begins, I’ve
taken the liberty to reformat the text in such a way to see it for the list it
is. Also, because we are not doing a genealogy study today, I’ve removed all
the ‘son of’ references, except where that’s the only way we know them:</span></span></div>

circle. Identify the gaps that exist. We are in this ministry, this little
place of god’s work on earth. And we need to stand next to each other to
fulfill what God has called us to do.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

Samaria and Galilee. <sup>12</sup>As he entered a village, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ten lepers</b> approached him. Keeping their distance, <sup>13</sup>they
called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” <sup>14</sup>When he saw

yourselves to the priests.”</b> And <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>as they went, they were made clean</u></i></b>.
<sup>15</sup>Then <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">one of them, when he
saw that he was healed</b>, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. <sup>16</sup>He
prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. <sup>17</sup>Then
Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? <sup>18</sup>Was
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">none of them found to return and give
praise to God except</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">this foreigner</b>?”
<sup>19</sup>Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has
made you well.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Years ago, the
Children’s Sermon at a church I was visiting was based upon this passage, the story
of the Ten Lepers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The minister told the
children that they should always be thankful, grateful for what they had and
what others gave to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of
their time together and before they were dismissed to their classes, the
minister offered each child a sucker, and as usual all of the children took one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just before the last child left the sanctuary
the minister said, “See.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s what
Jesus was talking about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They forgot to
say ‘Thank you.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Inside I cringed and
raged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was a cheap, cruel shot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s more that could have been</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s more in
that passage than meets the eye.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt
that the minister had missed an opportunity to tell the greater story; one that
could be understood even by a small child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I share that memory to say that to reduce this passage to a moralism on
thankfulness is too easy and misses the deeper issue, that of how to live after
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>being exiled/excluded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Jews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Tax collectors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, everyone
else who fell under the category of ‘leper.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yes, it included those who had various types of skin maladies that were
contagious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, it also was a label
applied to anyone who the Temple priests and scribes, and others working for
the Roman government deemed unacceptable – physically, mentally, and
religiously objectionable to the community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Those with skin diseases weren’t allowed to live inside the cities, only
in quarantined areas. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were not
allowed to enter the Temple, and alienated in other ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And at any time they were coming near a town
they were obliged to announce</span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> their presence from a far off distance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This gave time for everyone to run and hide
for their presence meant contamination and death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other ‘lepers’ were endured their share of
stigmatization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What kind of life is
that to live, to be known by only one thing about you; that you have no
identity other than some-thing you have no control over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

imposed ghettos, in exile, as foreigners they realized the new truth God was
speaking through the life and mouth of Jesus of Nazareth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was by faith only, not purity laws or
other conventions, they were invited just like everyone else to take their
place at the welcome table prepared by God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

also thinking they did not know how to live into their new-found reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were living according to the old scripts

that you are responsible for discarding the harmful scripts about ourselves –
ones foisted upon us, by family and tribe and culture, and ones we take upon
ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Old scripts and narratives
are hard to give up, particularly when they have given us comfort and shelter;
and harder still when they have ceased to do so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know how to live life on the offensive but
to live free is new and different. This is a perspective, an attitude about
ourselves that comes from within ourselves by the power of the Holy

words when I say this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am absolutely,
positively, from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, Christian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a time when I could not make that

baggage it continues to be saddled with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

calls to me and helps me see what is possible</i></b>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And second: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">this life of faith and devotion
is not simply about me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></b>Here’s
what I mean.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Christianity
is my first spiritual language, and try as I might, it refuses to let me go –
and I it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see, in a very practical
sense – and maybe this is your experience too – I am Christian because I was
born at a time and place on this soil to parents who were Christian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And their parents were Christian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And their parents were Christian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that, I can’t say for sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, there are powers beyond me that brought
me to claim this faith as my own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet in
a deeper sense, in spite of all the appalling and evil ways that some have
tried to twist the Christian scriptures and privatize God’s message in Jesus, I
have found good news in this tradition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And, this good news is dangerous, explosive, and profoundly
radical.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In it, I see what is possible
for myself and the world in which I live.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not that all people must become Christian, but through it people can see
that Christianity proclaims a way to peace and justice and right
relations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through the thick mist of cultures,
languages and customs, an array of writers and writers and truth claims, it
points towards a condition of the heart, that can lead to a new way of seeing
and being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And even when I’m not feeling
this faith, this faith somehow continues to hold on to me until I can hear it,
see it, and feel it again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
am unapologetically a Christian because as I have struggled and grown into it, I’ve
realized that this life of faith, my life of faith, is not simply about
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Someone is watching me – whether I
like it or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Someone is curious to
know if and how this Christianity can work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m realizing it’s not about being perfect or knowing it all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, it’s about being aware and available to
the Spirit so it can transform my often clumsy and hesitant witness into
grace-filled words and behaviors that draw others to God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

was blessed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, I consider myself
blessed because of the role models I had and have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They weren’t perfect by any stretch of the
imagination, but, they were the ones that God put in my path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are the ones who still help me see the compelling
power and richness of the gospel and this faith that I call my own. Now, if
you’re thinking that you are not able to say the same, that this is not your
story, I ask you to think again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it
wasn’t your parents, or Sunday school teachers, or anyone like that, then who
was it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who was your Eunice?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who is your Lois? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who continues to influence you?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who was/is it who might have said:</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Two stories are before us this morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The first: Jerusalem, the “city of peace” is about to be sacked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its brightest minds and most gifted citizens
were about to be carried away to Babylon to serve the interests of King
Nebuchadnezzar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those who were left were
artisans, people dealing with chronic disease, service workers, widows, the
very young, and orphans. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically,
people who the Babylonians thought could not organize themselves into a
resistance movement. This way, the once prosperous, militarily, and culturally
formidable Jerusalem could be managed and kept under the rule of a foreign
government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And for this Jeremiah cries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s known as the “weeping prophet” because
he has received countless messages from God that the city’s end was near.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, the people do not take him
seriously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They continued as if Jeremiah

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Ever heard of the word accommodationist used
to describe a city?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a city whose
managers and citizens have surrendered their autonomy to another city or entity
so that they are not truly in charge of the policies and practices that made
them a community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have abdicated
their right to rule themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And for
this reason, truly, is why Jeremiah cried.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In giving up their identity as people who had come through the waters of
the Red Sea and survived a 40-year trek through the wilderness of Sinai, they
had cheated and stole from widows. Forced into poverty those with limited
resources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Passed laws that made it
impossible for those who were accused of crimes to defend themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sound like a city or nation you know?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Jeremiah cries and cries, giving warning
after warning to those in the city to stop, and turn back to the ways of God’s
peace that made it famous, and prosperous for all its inhabitants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they didn’t, he throws his hands up in
anguish and declares that they are sick, deeply sick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What else could account for this illness,
this disorder that has corrupted them so?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then he asks a familiar question that the black church in America centuries
ago turned into a spiritual, <i>Balm in Gilead</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeremiah asks:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Is there no balm in Gilead?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is there no physician there?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Why then has
the health of my poor people not been restored?”</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Jeremiah calls out for a healer, any healer… and to God: “Is there
anybody out there who would heal them, make them whole?”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">The second story: Jesus tells his disciples
the parable of how a business manager had been brought up on charges of
mismanaging his employer’s finances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
the owner of the company demands that the manager give an account of his
practices, the manager delays meeting with the employer long enough to go to
several of the debtors and re-writes their bills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He reduces the actual amount owed,
effectively forfeiting any commission that would normally accrue to him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
can sense the dread of all of you who are employers.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">This manager was “stuck between a rock and a
hard place”, as they say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the one
hand, he could have turned the person who was in arrears over to the courts,
who then would have been turned over to the prison system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But on the other hand, he could have come
clean with his employer and said that in his estimation the debts were
unpayable by the people who incurred them, so the employer would be better off getting whatever he could. We an only imagine that the result would be the same; that he would be out of a job, and his situation would have become just as precarious as those to whom he was sent to collect debts. Ane, he could have been put in prison himself.</span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">There is a third way we could look at this
passage: the manager was a lying cheat, and deserved whatever the employer could
have thrown at him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I’m inclined to
think that the third option is not supported in the text.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>Nothing is said about him embezzling funds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a fantastically cryptic parable, full
of questions and interesting conclusions, and I encourage you to look at it
again at some point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wherever you come
out in your conclusion you’ll no doubt recognize that his situation was <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">very much like the stories we could tell of
our life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“How do you choose wisely when
the choices before you are equally less than desirable or unclear?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“How do you make a good decision,
particularly when your heart is being pulled in two directions?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A friend of mine used to say, “How do you hit
a straight lick with a crocked stick?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">can we be healed and whole when the source of our pain is often within
us just as much as it is found outside of us? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From where is the source of our healing and
wholeness to come?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">So, what’s the gospel this morning? What can
we learn from these two old stories; so old, yet so contemporary?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think three things. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First: while we cannot live in this world
without money – because this passage is about money and any other culturally valuable
asset we have - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>we can be honest and on our guard as to how it can claim our
allegiance in spite of our responsibilities to people, even our promise to do
justice. </i></b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>History bears it out
that wealth mixed with unchecked power has been the downfall of many a nation,
a family, an individual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And for some people
it has produced in them a sickness that proves resistant to pleas for mercy and
self-reflection – leaving them blind and broken.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">I’m thinking that what Jesus might be saying
to us regarding this manager who seemed to be playing fast and loose with his
employer’s money is that we, too, should act shrewdly; act wisely, particularly
in circumstances where the way forward is not clear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are to do our best </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">at navigating the ambiguities that come with doing justice and loving
mercy and walking humbly with God - in this world that is so filled with need
and brokeness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Gospel writer Matthew
records Jesus saying, <i>“…so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves.”</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Working for healing and wholeness – ours and
someone else’s can be tricky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
sometimes we’ll get it wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, often
we’ll get it right!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">I believe a second take away from these
passages is that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>faith takes time to
grow</i></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your journey with the
Spirit has been like mine – from belief to unbelief to skepticism to trust –
then you understand that the Christian life is often one of wrestling with the
Spirit with a divided heart; divided loyalties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In this world we contend with concepts and ideas and realities and
people that confound our heart and our head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How do we make sense of it all?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How do we know when to speak and when not to speak?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When to wait and when to push forward?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The manager in Jesus’ parable took the
initiative and acted on the side of compassion; although he caught heat about
it with his employer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, he was
commended for acting shrewdly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes
there is no right answer to a situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There’s just an opportunity to do what seems just and right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some things in life we just have to live into
until we know more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Faith takes time to
grow on us.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">And a third truth I think we can take from
both of these passages when we look at the undeniable thread of truth that runs
through all of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures is that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>the God we know through Jesus the Christ by the power of the Holy
Spirit is a covenant-keeping God</i></b><i>. </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hear these promises of God to us:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of
them, because it is the Lord your God who goes with you; God will not fail you
or forsake you.” (Deut. 31.6) <i>“</i>I have loved you with an everlasting
love; therefore, I have continued by faithfulness to you.” (Jer. 31.3)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to
you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be
troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(John 14:27)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Words, yes, but words that we have seen
lived out in our lifetime: (1) when justice is won, (2) when minds and hearts
are opened to think and behave in ways that welcome and not harm, (3) when
inspiration regarding how to resolve a dilemma seemingly comes out of no where
and is effective, (4) when we gather in spaces at tables with friends – new and
old and the fellowship is something like a healing balm to the soul.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Village Church, the answer to Jeremiah’s
question is “Yes” there is a balm in Gilead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gilead – now the region we know as the present-day Kingdom of Jordan - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was a region known for its medicinal plants
and herbs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, it’s no longer the location
of healing for the kind of dis-ease, dis-placement many of us feel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As much as there are cures and correctives
that we can receive from healthcare professionals that can bring about one particular
kind of healing, we can be a critical source of a different kind healing for
each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In spite of all our
differences, our tendencies to discount our abilities, to accept the helping
hand of the other, we can be a conduit of transformation for people around us;
even our own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gilead is us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can be balms of calm, of compassion, of
companionship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can with much mercy
and grace lovingly speak a strong word that can set someone off on a needed course correction, maybe because someone has helped us in a similar way. We can be healed, if only as beautiful wounded healers. We can be whole, as whole as the chances and changes of life will bring us.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I
remember the first Sunday Rock came to The Village. I learned later that he came
because his son said, “You’re going to The Village Church today. I heard about
it from someone at work and I think you’ll like it.” That first Sunday Rock
could not look anyone in the eye. He spoke in a soft, tentative voice,
betraying his lack of trust. Rock told me later that he did not think we could
be for real. Christians are all fakes. No one could really be this kind and
sincere. But that night my mom called Rock. My mom is so sweet; how can you be
suspicious of my mom? Rock began to soften. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Fast
forward a year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rock met Beth. They fell
in love. They two of them came to church. They got married. I remember their
wedding day. It was such a day of blessing. Rock had become a totally different
person: outgoing and happy. Rock can look you in the eye now. Oh sure, they
still have their ups and downs. Rock has had some health problems. But this
church has changed Rock. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Rock knows one thing because of
this church. Rock knows that he is God’s beloved child. And that makes all the
difference in the world. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">That’s
the one message I want to leave with you. This is my last Sunday as your
pastor. If there is only one message I can get through to you after eight years
of being the pastor of The Village, I want it to be this: “You are God’s
Beloved Child.” You are precious. You are unique. God made you and God loves
you just the way you are. Period. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jesus
heard that message on his baptism day. He went down to the Jordan River where
John was baptizing people. He asked John to baptize him. At first John was
hesitant. John said that Jesus should baptize him. But Jesus insisted. So John
baptized Jesus. And scripture says: <span class="text">“When Jesus had been
baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened
to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on
him. <sup>17 </sup>And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, the
Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="text"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>God
claimed Jesus as God’s beloved child. And God said, “I’m pleased with you.” So
this is the promise that we receive in our baptism too. We are each claimed as
a beloved child of God. In our church, we hold baptism as a sacrament, a sacred
event. We believe that once you receive the grace of the Holy Spirit in your
baptism, nothing can reverse that gift. You can’t do something horrible, and
then lose the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is always with you once you are
baptized. The grace of God is always at work in your life. You can run away
from God, but God never runs away from you. God lives inside of you. I tell
children that the water of baptism is like an invisible tattoo, telling you
that you are a child of God. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="text">Henri Nouwen is one of my favorite
spiritual writers and he has written a whole book about being beloved children
of God, called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Life of the Beloved. </i>He
wrote the book for a friend of his named Fred who was not a Christian. The
friend wanted Henri to write a book for him and his friends about his faith. I
want to read to you some sections of that book that I think are the most
powerful:</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Fred,
all I want to say to you is ‘You are the Beloved,’ and all I hope is that you
can hear these words as spoken to you with all the tenderness and force that
love can hold. My only desire is to make these words reverberate in every
corner of your being – ‘You are the Beloved.’ </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“….Yes
there is that voice, the voice that speaks from above and from within and that
whispers softly or declares loudly: ‘You are my Beloved, on you my favor
rests.’ It certainly is not easy to hear that voice in a world filled with
voices that shout: ‘You are no good, you are ugly; you are worthless; you are
despicable, you are nobody – unless you can demonstrate the opposite.’</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“These
negative voices are so loud and so persistent that it is easy to believe them.
That’s the great trap. It is the trap of self-rejection. Over the years I have
come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity
or power, but self-rejection…. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me,
as soon as I am rejected, left alone or abandoned, I find myself thinking:
‘Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody.’ Instead of taking a critical
look at the circumstances or trying to understand my own and others’
limitations, I tend to blame myself – not just for what I did, but for who I
am. My dark side says: ‘I am no good…I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten,
rejected and abandoned.’ (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Life of the
Beloved, </i>pp. 26-27)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“That
soft, gentle voice that calls me the Beloved has come to me in countless ways.
My parents, friends, teachers, students and the many strangers who crossed my
path have all sounded that voice in different tones. I have been cared for by
many people with much tenderness and gentleness….I have been encouraged to keep
going when I was ready to give up and was stimulated to try again when I
failed. I have been rewarded and praised for success…but, somehow, all of these
signs of love were not sufficient to convince me that I was the Beloved.
Beneath all my seemingly strong self-confidence there remained the question:
‘If all those who shower me with so much attention could see me and know me in
my innermost self, would they still love me?’ </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“….Well,
you and I don’t have to kill ourselves. We are the Beloved. We are intimately
loved long before our parents, teachers, spouses, children and friends loved or
wounded us. That’s the truth I want you to claim for yourself. That’s the truth
spoken by the voice that says, ‘You are my Beloved.’</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Listening
to that voice with great inner attentiveness, I hear at my center words that
say: ‘I have called you by name, from the very beginning. You are mine and I am
yours. You are my Beloved, on you my favor rests. I have molded you in the
depths of the earth and knitted you together in your mother’s womb. I have
carved you in the palms of my hands and hidden you in the shadow of my embrace
…I have counted every hair on your head and guided you at every step. Wherever
you go, I go with you, and wherever you rest, I keep watch. . . . I am your
father, your mother, your brother, your sister, your lover and your spouse. . .
yes, even your child. . . wherever you are I will be. Nothing will ever
separate us. We are one.’</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Every
time you listen with great attentiveness to the voice that calls you the
Beloved, you will discover within yourself a desire to hear that voice longer
and more deeply. It is like discovering a well in the desert. Once you have
touched wet ground, you want to dig deeper.” (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Life of the Beloved, </i>pp. 30-31.)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I
wanted to read you so much of Henri Nouwen’s writing about being the beloved
because I think he has such insight into how we can claim our belovedness. The
great trap really is self-rejection. In my counseling, as a pastor, I see this
over and over again. People don’t believe they are loveable. They say, “God can
love anyone except me. I just don’t feel worthy.” But here’s the great thing.
We don’t have to be worthy. We don’t have to earn God’s love. God just gives it
to us. It’s a free gift. That’s why we call it grace. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So
my friends, receive God’s love. Don’t question it. Don’t overthink it. Just be
grateful. You are blessed. You are a gift. You are God’s beloved child. Amen. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There are
times when Jesus’ actions just don’t make sense (for those following along from
afar, we read Luke 15:1-32 from the Message paraphrase in worship). These
parables just aren’t logical. First of all there is this shepherd. The shepherd
has 100 sheep. One goes missing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Rather than being thankful for the 99, the
shepherd leaves them unattended to go and look for the one that is missing. Who
does that? It does not make sense. He leaves the 99 at risk for being stolen or
getting lost themselves. But Jesus says that the shepherd goes to look for the
one, and he rejoices with his friends when he finds the one who had been lost. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">That’s
how much God loves us. God is not satisfied until God has every one of us in
God’s care. It’s not logical. It’s love. Jesus says there is more joy in heaven
over the one sinner who is found than there is over the 99 righteous people. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Then
Jesus tells another story. A woman had ten coins. She lost one. She sweeps her
house from top to bottom looking for the lost coin and then throws a party with
her friends to rejoice. She probably spends more than the value of that lost
coin on food and drink for the party with her friends. What sense does that
make? No sense at all. But Jesus is making the point that God is not satisfied
until every person is found and included in the circle of God’s family. No one
can be forgotten. No one can be left behind. That’s how much God loves us.
Every one of us. No one can be left out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Then
there’s the story of the prodigal son. This story makes no sense. In the story,
the younger son asks his father for his share of the inheritance. He leaves
home, goes into the city and blows all his money on wild living. He ends up
broke and gets a job feeding the pigs. He realizes that the hired hands on his
father’s farm have it better than he does so he goes home to apologize to his
father and ask for a job on the farm. But his father greets him with open arms
when he comes home. He gives him a robe and the family ring. He gives
instructions to kill the fatted calf and prepare a feast because his son who
was left for dead has now returned home. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Now the
father had every reason to be angry at the younger brother. He had wasted his
inheritance. The father should have disowned him and sent him away in shame.
But the father, who represents God in the story, did not do this. The older
brother, of course, is flabbergasted at his father’s actions. The older brother
comes in from the fields and finds a feast being prepared for his low life
brother. He is furious. He finds his father and says, “How could you do this? I
have been here all these years working faithfully for you. You’ve never thrown
a party for me and my friends. My brother goes off and wastes your money and he
comes home and you throw him a party. It’s not fair.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
father tells the brother, “I love you both. You have been here with me and of course
I love you. But your brother was lost. He was left for dead and now he is home.
We must celebrate and rejoice at his return.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">You see,
God never forgets us. No matter how far away from God we may turn, God never
forgets us. And God is not satisfied until each one of us is part of God’s
family. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">At one
time or another each of us has been the lost sheep, the lost coin or the
prodigal son. We were the one lost from God. This is the season in life when we
were far away from God. Maybe you are in that season now. It’s a season when
your life is out of sync with God and God’s desires for you. Sometimes it lasts
a few hours, a few days or weeks, or maybe a few years. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Perhaps
you fall into an addiction that you know is not good for you. Or an affair. These
are serious matters that turn you away from God and God’s desire for your life.
You may need professional help in order to turn your life back around. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A season
of being lost can be a season when we fail to pray and communicate with God. We
turn away from God because we get too busy with work and children and
responsibilities of running a home. Just like that prodigal son, we wake up one
morning and realize that we have made some big mistakes. We are lost from God.
We have lost ourselves. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This is
the good news. You are never lost from God. You are never forgotten. God always
knows where you are. God always knows your heart. And God loves you. God will
forgive your sins. And God will receive you into God’s arms of blessing. All
you have to do is ask. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Like the
father in the story of the prodigal son, God wants to welcome us home. God
wants to be in relationship with us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So what
do you do when you find yourself separated from God? The first thing to do is
to ask for forgiveness. Confess your sins and know that God will forgive you.
This is no small thing. Then forgive yourself. That is also no small thing.
It’s hard to forgive ourselves. Then make a plan for how you will live your life
in sync with God and God’s desires for you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Coming to
worship on a regular basis is essential. We need this weekly time of corporate
worship to praise God, to hear the word of God and to be surrounded by God’s
people. Personal prayer is also essential. We need a daily time of prayer to
check in with God, to listen to God and to hear God’s desire for us. This is
how we stay in step with God. This is how we remember that we belong to God,
when we pray every day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The most
important thing is to remember you are not forgotten. No matter how far from
God you may stray, God never strays from you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So if you’re in a season of feeling lost, I invite you to come home.
Come home to God your creator. You belong to God and God loves you. And if
you’re not feeling lost, rejoice that you already have a home with God. Don’t
take this home for granted. Nurture your relationship with God through daily
prayer. You belong to God and God loves you. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Let us
pray: God we give thanks that we have a home in you. We are never forgotten. We
thank you that like a good shepherd, when we get lost, you come looking for us.
Help us to stay close to you. We love you and we need you. Amen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We all play
this game in one form or another. We count up the points. We keep track.
Because we must not get behind in the game. We must always stay ahead in the
game. This is the game: You bought me lunch last time, I must buy lunch this
time. You invited us over for dinner last time, it’s our turn to invite you
over for dinner this time. You gave me a birthday gift so I MUST give you a birthday
gift of equal or greater value. I can’t look cheap. You took me to see a show.
So I must take you to an even better show sometime soon. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It’s all
about transactions. We’ve reduced human relationships to value laden
transactions. This mind set comes from the idea that we live in a world of
scarcity. There may not be enough to go around, so I must not be beholden to
anyone. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But what
if we believed there was enough? Then we could treat one another with a sense
of abundance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jesus lived
with a sense of abundance. He came along and turned our thinking on its head.
He said that when you give a dinner, you should not invite people who might
invite you in return so you will be repaid. Don’t invite your friends and
relatives. Invite people who can’t repay you. Invite the poor, the crippled,
the lame and the blind. And you will be blessed. You will be blessed because
they cannot repay you. You will know the feeling of abundance. You have so much
to give that you can give without any thought of what you will get in return. “You
will eventually be blessed in the resurrection,” Jesus said. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The idea
is to stop counting and start blessing. To stop counting and start blessing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What kind of freedom would there be if we
could just bless others, rather than thinking about what we might get in
return? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">School
has started this past couple of weeks. Can you imagine how wonderful it would
be if children could offer friendship to one another without worrying about
what they will get in return? No worries about status or the pecking order.
They could just see someone who looks lonely and offer to sit with them in the
lunch room. Children would look around on the playground for the child who has
no one to play with and they would include that child for games. When it’s time
to form teams for projects, no one would be left out. People would just
naturally include everyone. This is what it means to bless one another in the
way Jesus calls us to bless one another. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When I
was a child, my dad worked a lot of nights. Mom and I would sometimes go out to
eat. I would always notice older people sitting in the restaurant eating alone.
They looked so lonely; it made me sad. What would have happened if mom and I
would have decided to share our table with one of those lonely people? Just
think of the conversations we could have had, hearing about their lives and
what they had experienced. But we missed out, because the social convention
does not allow for strangers to offer to sit together in restaurants. It would be
weird. We stayed in our world of scarcity, thinking we did not have enough time
to share. But what if we had imagined our lives of abundance, with plenty of
time to share with those older people. What a blessing it might have been if we
had broken social convention and offered to sit with one of those lonely, older
people. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">At Pride
yesterday, we people of The Village did our best to offer hospitality to people
attending Pride. We probably spoke to a couple hundred people. I am sure of one
thing. I am sure there were people who attended Pride who avoided the “church
booths.” They avoided us because they are skeptical about churches for good reason.
Churches have not, as a whole, been hospitable toward gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender and queer people. Churches have not shown an abundance of blessing
toward LGBTQ people. So I imagine there were some hurt feelings yesterday as
people saw church tables at Pride. “What are THEY doing here?” “Are they here
to draw us in, and then condemn us?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But of
course we tried to be there with sincere hearts of openness. We offered a cup
of cold water to drink and a place to sit and rest under a tent in the shade.
We offered hospitality. And at our best, we did not expect anything in return.
Of course, I would be lying if I did not say we hope that we might get some new
visitors to The Village because of our efforts yesterday. But more importantly,
we wanted to offer healing and friendship. Our efforts were not based in a
theology of scarcity but rather in a theology of abundance. There is room at
the table for everyone. All are welcome. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jesus
said, “When you host a dinner party, don’t invite people, thinking they will

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jesus
wants us to open our hearts to people who are in need. What does this look like
in Toledo, Ohio in 2016? It means being a church that welcomes all people
without judgement. I have seen people come to worship here who would be judged
in other some other churches: people covered with tattoos, people with old
tattered clothing, transgender people, and people who tell us they are
struggling to recover from drug and alcohol abuse. For the most part, I have
been proud of us as a congregation. We have welcomed all people and treated all
with respect and dignity. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When it
comes to this table, we do not make any judgements. This is an open table. We
say this every time we celebrate Holy Communion. Everyone is welcome to come to
this table. There are no tests to see whether or not you are worthy to come.
This is the table of grace. This is the table of God’s blessing. Everyone is
invited to this table. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Do you
realize how important that is? We receive God’s grace every time we come to
this table. In the form of bread and juice, we receive Jesus’ body and blood
given in sacrifice for us. We are reminded that God loved us so much that God
gave God’s own child so that we might know the fullness of God’s love. This
table is a symbol of God’s acceptance of us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There are
no scorecards at this table. No one is keeping track of what social obligations
you owe. This is the table of grace. This is the table of abundance. At this
table there is enough. At this table YOU are enough. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In a
little while we will celebrate Holy Communion. When we do, I want you to
remember that Jesus welcomes everyone to this table. He calls us to welcome
everyone to our table. This is our call – to be the church that welcomes
everyone. So let us never exclude anyone from this table. Let us go out to find
the poor, the lonely, and the oppressed, and let us bring them here. All are
welcome at this table. This is the table of abundance. Amen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">On April
12, 1963, a group of bishops and other religious leaders in Birmingham,
Alabama, wrote a public statement aimed at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and others
in the Civil Rights Movement. In their letter these religious leaders called
for the “outsiders” to leave Alabama. They called the demonstrations “unwise
and untimely.” They said that their cause should be “pressed in the courts” and
not “in the streets.” Among these writers was a Methodist Bishop. (source: </span><a href="http://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen/09a/mlk_day/statement.html"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">http://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen/09a/mlk_day/statement.html</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simply put, they wanted Dr. King to take his
non-violent civil rights demonstrations and leave Alabama. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In
response to this statement, Dr. King wrote his now famous “Letter from a
Birmingham Jail.” He had been arrested for demonstrating and was serving his
time. He wrote a powerful letter about why the movement for racial justice
could not wait any longer. He talked about what it means to break the law in
the name of what is right. He wrote: “there are two types of laws: just and
unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a
legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral
responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that ‘an
unjust law is no law at all.’" (source: </span><a href="https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">). </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">He went
on to say: “A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or
the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral
law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law
that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human
personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All
segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and
damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority
and the segregated a false sense of inferiority.” (ibid).</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">You see,
Dr. King understood that sometimes you had to break the law in order to do the
right thing. He learned this from Jesus. One day Jesus was teaching in a
synagogue on the Sabbath. He saw a woman with a deformity. She was bent over
and could not stand up straight. She had been that way for eighteen years. Can you
imagine being bent over for eighteen years? Jesus walked over to the woman and
healed her. Just like that! It was a miracle. The woman began praising God. The
people were amazed. But the leader of the synagogue was indignant. Jesus had
broken the law. No one must work on the Sabbath. Healing was considered work.
Work was meant to be done on six days only, but the Sabbath was reserved for
rest. The leader of the synagogue scolded Jesus. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Jesus
said: </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“You
hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from
the manger, and lead it away to give it water? <sup>16</sup>And ought not this
woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be set
free from this bondage on the sabbath day?” <sup>17</sup>When he said this, all
his opponents were put to shame; and the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the
wonderful things that he was doing.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Jesus
broke the law. It was an unjust law, in his mind, and so he broke it. He did
the loving thing. He healed the woman. His act reminds me of a saying from
Martin Luther King Jr., “The time is always right to do the right thing.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I hope as
a church, we will remember this: The time is always right to do the right
thing. I want to tell you a story about this. It’s a Village history story. On
the first day The Village opened, for our very first worship service, lots of
new people showed up. One person in particular, I remember. Her name was Edie.
Edie was 60 years old and was a person just beginning her transition as a male
to female transgender person. Edie was introduced to me after the service by
someone who had been sitting with her during the service. Edie said she had
read an article in the newspaper about The Village and how we are an LGBT
welcoming church. She said, “Do you really mean it about the T part? Are you
transgender welcoming?” I said, “Well at my last church I had lots of gay and
lesbian people. I have to confess that I did not have any transgender people
but if you will come to The Village I will do everything I can to make this a
welcome place for you. I may make some mistakes along the way but I will do my
best.” </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Edie said
that we needed a transgender support group in NW Ohio because the closest one
was in Columbus. I told her I had been on the Board of Equality Toledo and we
had been talking about this. I said if she wanted to start a support group that
The Village would help her. Long story short, we started the first Transgender
Support group in NW Ohio and 25 people came to the first meeting. That group is
still meeting. They meet at Sylvania United Church of Christ now because we no
longer have a building where they can meet. But they are still going strong. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Now, I
need to tell you something about us starting that group. It cost us some
things. At the time I was trying to get some other churches to give financial
support to The Village because we were a new church start. Starting a
transgender support group really put us out there on the edge in 2009. It made
some of our potential partner churches uncomfortable. I’m pretty sure we lost
some potential funding because of starting that group. We also got an article
in the newspaper about how we started that group. It was great. It helped the
group find new members. However, it marked The Village as the place that loves
transgender people. Around the same time, my husband borrowed The Village to
have a scout event for Jamie’s scout troop from his school. One family did not
want to send their kids to a scout meeting at our church because we welcome
transgender people. I can’t be sure, but I imagine that there were people who
considered coming to worship here and were scared away by the fact that we
welcome transgender persons. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">But I’m
not sorry we started that group. We did the right thing. It’s always the right
time to do the right thing. We are a courageous church. This is something we
can be proud of. To this day, transgender persons are welcome here. We are one
of the only churches in NW Ohio that can say that. We welcome people who need a
church home. This is what it means to be church, my friends. We break the
rules. Just like Jesus did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">So what
about you? What is God calling you to do? Who is God calling you to love that
it’s unpopular to love? One of the projects The Lead Team is looking at The
Village getting involved with is Promise House. This is a project to help
homeless teens, many of whom are LGBT. These teens get kicked out of their
homes because their parents do not accept them for who they are. They end up on
the street. Perhaps this is a ministry you are called to work with. It takes
courage to work with homeless teens. They are hurting. They have lots of
problems. They need to know they are loved by God but many of them have
rejected God because they have been told that God has rejected them. Maybe
you’re being called to work with Promise House. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I wonder
what else God might be calling The Village to do next? Is there some group of
people on the margins that we are being called to love? Perhaps it’s
immigrants? Or people in prison? There are so many hurting people in the world.
It takes courage to reach out. But it’s always the right time to do the right
thing. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">People
told Dr. King to wait. They told him to be patient. But he was not patient. He
wanted justice now for his people. We could have told Edie to wait. We could
have told her it was too risky to start a transgender support group in Toledo.
But we said “yes.” Because we saw a need and wanted to be part of the solution.
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I will be
leaving you soon as pastor. But you will be beginning a new season of life as a
congregation. I believe God has new vital ministry in store for you as The
Village Church. You have shown that you are a courageous church that takes
risks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing held Jesus back from
doing the ministry he was called to do. And nothing will hold you back. So
listen to God in these coming weeks and months. Listen with courageous hearts.
And when God calls you to do the right thing I know you’ll be ready to say
“yes.” Say “yes” to God’s call upon your life as a congregation. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Let’s respond
to this message by praying together. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">God, Give
us vision to be the church you call us to be. We have been courageous in the
past and as we move into a new future we want to continue to be bold and
courageous. Show us the people you want us to serve. Give us focus for our next
ministry. We know it’s always time to do the right thing so show us the next
right thing for The Village Church. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We’ve
been watching the Olympics at my house. Have you? We love the swimming, the
gymnastics, the beach volleyball, the diving. But I feel so sorry for those
divers because of the algae in their pool – yuck!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Thursday night, twenty year old Simone
Manuel made history as the first African-American woman to medal in an
individual swimming event. She set at Olympic record in the women’s 100 meter
freestyle. When she finished the race and looked up at the board the look on
her face was one of shock as she realized she has won the gold. She was not
favored to win. When she was interviewed shortly after the race, she gave all
the glory to God. Simone is clearly a young woman of faith. She has worked hard
to achieve her goals. All these athletes train hard. They talk about how they
miss other events at school: prom, homecoming, football games, all because they
are at the gym or the swim club working out. But they persevere. They have a
goal. To be the best they can be. To be the best in their chosen sport. And
when they get to the Olympic Games it is all worth it. The look on Simone
Manuel’s face said it all. Run, or swim, with perseverance, and you will reach
your goal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In this
letter to the Hebrews (Hebrews 11:29 - 12:2 for those following along from afar),
the writer is also talking about perseverance. He reminds us of the history of
the people of Israel: how they passed through the Red Sea on dry land when the
Egyptians were drowned. How they encircled Jericho for seven days and the walls
fell down. Do you remember those stories? The people of Israel were living as
slaves in Egypt. God sent Moses to Pharaoh and Moses said, “Let my people go.”
Pharaoh refused so God sent plagues of frogs and locusts and thunderstorms and
boils. Finally Pharaoh let them go but then once they left Pharaoh sent an army
after them. In a dramatic scene God parted the Red Sea to save God’s people.
Once the Israelites were safely across the Sea, God sent the water back upon the
Egyptian army. This is a story of God’s faithfulness to God’s people who had
faith and persevered. They did not give up. They stayed with Moses for forty
years in the wilderness on their journey to the Promised Land. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In our
scripture for today, the writer, then talks about the great cloud of witnesses:
“</span><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Gideon,
Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— <sup>33</sup>who
through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut
the mouths of lions, <sup>34</sup>quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the
sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies
to flight.” That’s quite a list. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">These
leaders faced obstacles, but they did not give up. They were not perfect, by
any means. But they were faithful. They saw a goal set before them, and they
worked toward that goal. They put their faith in God and God did not disappoint
them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">You
probably have your own cloud of witnesses: people who have gone before you in
the faith who have inspired you. Who are they? Did your parents teach you to
pray and to put your trust in God? Did a friend in school encourage you in your
faith? Perhaps a youth leader or a Sunday School teacher? Maybe it was your spouse
who modeled for you a life of faith. Maybe there are great leaders from history
whom you admire. They encourage you to follow Jesus. Picture that cloud of witnesses
in your mind right now, those people who have encouraged you. Give thanks that
those people modeled faith for you and have encouraged you on your journey. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But
friends there are times when we want to give up on the race that is set before
us, don’t we? We get discouraged. There are so many bad things that happen in
the world. We hit obstacles. How can we put our trust in God? I am sure there
were times when those great leaders in the Bible got discouraged. They wanted
to give up. Moses wanted to give up before he even started. He told God he was
not worthy to lead the people. He was not eloquent enough. He did not have the
skills to be a great leader. But God had other things in mind. And so Moses
reluctantly agreed to be God’s servant leader.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Do
you think those Olympic athletes ever faced challenges? How many times do you
supposed the gymnasts fall off the balance beam while learning a new skill? How
many times do the hurdlers hit the hurdles they are trying to jump over? But
they persevere. Because they have a goal out in front of them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Do
you have a goal? What is your goal? Is there something left in your life that
you really want to accomplish? What is it? Have you asked God to help you? Do
you have an obstacle that is getting in your way? What is that obstacle? Have
you asked God to help you overcome that obstacle? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">God
will help you. God will send you friends to help you. God will send you coaches
and mentors to help you. God will send you that great cloud of witnesses to
give you wisdom. Whatever race you are running, if you persevere, you will get
to the finish line. That is the promise of today’s scripture. We can set aside
any weight that is weighing us down. And Jesus who is the perfecter of faith
will come along beside us and run the race with us. You are not alone in your
race. Jesus is with you. God is with you, running the race with you. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We’ve
heard and seen some inspiring stories come out of Rio de Janeiro and the 31<sup>st</sup>
Olympic Games. But I love this story from the 1992 Olympics. Derek Redmond was
running the race of his life. He was a medal contender. But he tore a hamstring
part way into the race. Not one to give up, he was determined to cross the
finish line. His father came out of the stands, and helped him across. This
video says it all. Derek Redmond’s father is like God in this story. God comes
alongside us, when we are weak, and can’t get across the finish lines of our
lives. God sustains us and carries us through. Put your trust in God. God will
get you through any race you run.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Run
your race with perseverance. Let’s watch the video.</span><br />

was growing up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got by. There was
always food on the table, a roof over our heads, a car in the driveway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was an only child, so that helped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps part of the reason, cash was
sometimes tight was because my dad had a passion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He loved to travel and so part of every
paycheck went into a vacation fund. It was important to him to explore
somewhere different - away from home, every summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember, however, one summer when we had a
bad year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad was laid off from his job,
made a bad investment trying to make up the difference and had spent some time
looking for a new job. In my mind’s eye, I am always 10 so I think I was about
10, which would have made it around 1960.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And if memory serves, my father had started his new job and did not have
vacation time that summer. Even if there had been time there was no money for a
two week vacation. My dad had an idea – we lived on Route 6, east of Cleveland,
small town called Chardon. Dad decided we’d get on Route 6 on Saturday morning,
drive east as far as we could go in a day, stopping to see what there was along
the way, find a motel, spend the night and go back home on Sunday. My mom
packed us a lunch. We drove along, found a beautiful place to eat along the
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went by many parks where we
would stop and explore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We spent the
night in a family owned motel in Pennsylvania.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The family had a daughter my age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We played together while her parents and my parents played Bridge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next morning, we had breakfast and drove
home, stopping to eat somewhere along the way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now, doesn’t that seem like a vacation you might forget and yet, it is
often one of the first ones I remember.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was a treasure. I think that is because it reminds me of what was
important to my dad – one of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>his great
treasures in life was his family and he always wanted time to spend with his
family in a place where the everydayness of life did not intrude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often our vacations included one or more my
aunts and uncles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t so much
going someplace, although he did love to explore new places, it was going
someplace and having family time – away from phones, away from the
responsibilities of everyday life, away from work, away from chores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our summer vacations were definitely
something worth waiting for, something to look forward to and I don’t ever
remember whining because I’d be away from friends and our summertime
activities.</span></span></div>

Abram didn’t think he had anything worth waiting for. When God tells him how
great his reward is going to be, he responds by saying, “Lord God, what can you
possibly give me, since I have no children.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He actually tells his God, that God has nothing for him – nothing worth
waiting for – no treasure that he wants because the one thing Abram treasures
most is heirs and he doesn’t have any and he pretty much figures he is out of
time. </span></span></div>

have started by telling Abram to quit whining – but that’s me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God tells Abram to look up at the sky and
count the stars because that is how many children – descendants he is going to
have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only that - but God goes on to
say, he will have the land before him to possess, and still Abram whines – “How
do I know I will actually possess it?”</span></span></div>

Abram was not a patient man, nor a trusting one. Now we all figure that if God
came to us and talked to us the way the Bible portrays God talking to Abram, we
wouldn’t hesitate to believe that there were great treasures awaiting us, would
we?</span></span></div>

The real problem may be that what God treasures and what we treasure are not

says, “Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights in giving
you the kingdom.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, that’s all well
and good but how much worth can there be in a promised kingdom when we need
things right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t want to wait
for God’s time, we want things in our time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

suddenly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She lost her first grandchild

</span>What if Abram and Sarai hadn’t been able to have children – what if the

it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He would have helped Abram realize
that his faith was his treasure and God would have given him eyes to see that
all the children surrounding him and learning from him were his legacy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

the good times and the people with whom we shared them – those still among us
and those gone on to be with God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perhaps our true treasures involve looking at how God has helped us get
through the hard times, seeing who God has put in our paths to help us move
forward, treasuring the moments when we could see God at work, even when we
felt robbed of a treasure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The
passage of Luke that we read this morning contains a profound thought that we
have probably all heard:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Perhaps our true treasure involves anchoring our
heart in the promises of God and being willing to wait for God, knowing that
the love of God can never desert us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think if we look around we will discover that our true treasures lie in the
people who surround us with love and the God who makes that love possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And if there are days, when that love seems
far away – well, the belief in its return is certainly worth waiting for.</span></span><br />

was $478 million. I don’t play Powerball or any other games of chance. But
every now and then when I hear a news story about how high the jackpot is, I play
that game in my head. You know the one. What would I do if I won $478 million?
I’d buy a house on River Road with a pool in the back yard and I’d pay someone
to take care of the pool. I’d buy a beach house on Lake Michigan. I’d take my
family on a trip to Europe. I’d buy a little red convertible. I’d buy Kurt his
dream car, and Becca and Jamie too when he gets old enough. I’d buy all new
furniture and get rid of all the old stuff. I’d buy new clothes and shoes and
not think about the prices. Oh the mind can just go on and on, can’t it? </span></div>

possess more than we need. We normally associate greed with money, as did
Jesus. But we can be greedy for many things — for food, fame, sex, or
power. Christians have always identified greed as one of the seven deadly sins.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Dan Clendenin writes that “There's a horrible paradox in
greed — it's never satisfied by what it desires. Rather, the opposite is
true.” He quotes John Cassian, a 4<sup>th</sup> century writer who said: "When
money increases, it always wants more than a person can accumulate."
(Source: </span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><a href="http://www.journeywithjesus.net/essays/1036-the-rich-fool-and-the-saint-francis"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">http://www.journeywithjesus.net/essays/1036-the-rich-fool-and-the-saint-francis</span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">). That’s how it is with
greed. No matter how much we have, we want more. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In our story for today, someone in a crowd asks Jesus to be
an arbiter so he and his brother can divide up the family inheritance. Jesus
refuses and then he says: “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of
greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Jesus
had learned about the power of greed. He knew what a force it could be in a
person’s life. He also knew the power of possessions. We human beings think we
want lots of pretty things. But all the pretty things in the world will not
bring us true joy. A connection to God is what brings us true joy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So Jesus told a parable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The land of a rich man produced abundantly. <sup>17</sup>And
he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my
crops?’ <sup>18</sup>Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns
and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. <sup>19</sup>And
I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years;
relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ <sup>20</sup>But God said to him, ‘You fool! This
very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have
prepared, whose will they be?’ <sup>21</sup>So it is with those who store up
treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This is where we get the phrase “Eat drink and be merry.”
The man in the story was foolish. He had so many things. So many possessions.
He built bigger barns so he could store all his possessions. He decided to eat,
drink and be merry because he was rich in possessions. But God said to him,
“Your life is over tonight. What good are all these things to you now?” Jesus
said, “That’s how it is when we store up lots of treasures for ourselves but
are not rich toward God.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It’s easy, in this world, to get caught up in the rat race
of storing up worldly treasures. There are so many pretty things out there to
buy. The ads on TV and the internet show us these pretty things that we can’t
live without. We take on second jobs so we can buy more things. But our souls
are empty. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jesus invites us to be rich toward God. How do we do that?
We slow down. We consider our values. Compassion is a good place to start. Do
you remember the last time you showed compassion toward another human being? It
felt good, didn’t it? Compassion is a choice. It is a way of life. One can even
call it a rule of life. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Do you know the story of St. Francis?
His life began as the son of wealthy parents. His father was a silk merchant.
Francis was in the military as a young man, but he had a vision and lost his
taste for worldly life. There is a story that he was selling cloth in the
market place on behalf of his father. A beggar came up to ask him for alms. “At
the conclusion of his business deal, Francis abandoned his wares and ran after
the beggar. When he found him, Francis gave the man everything he had in his
pockets. His friends quickly chided and mocked him for his act of charity. When
he got home, his father scolded him in rage.” (source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_of_Assisi">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_of_Assisi</a>).
He got a message from God that he was to repair broken down churches so that is
what he did. His friends made fun of him but he did not care. He began to live
as a beggar around his home town of Assisi. At the end of this period (on
February 24, 1209, according to Jordan of Giano), Francis heard a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sermon" title="Sermon">sermon</a> that
changed his life forever. The sermon was about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Matthew" title="Gospel of Matthew">Matthew</a>
10:9, in which Christ tells his followers they should go forth and proclaim
that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_God" title="Kingdom of God">Kingdom of Heaven</a> was upon them, that they should
take no money with them, nor even a walking stick or shoes for the road.
Francis was inspired to devote himself to a life of poverty (source: ibid).
Francis' preaching to ordinary people was unusual since he had no license to do
so. In 1209 he composed a simple rule for his followers ("friars"), called
the "Primitive Rule", which came from verses in the Bible.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The rule was "To follow the
teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and to walk in his footsteps". In 1209,
Francis led his first eleven followers to Rome to seek permission from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Innocent_III" title="Pope Innocent III">Pope
Innocent III</a> to found a new religious Order called the Franciscans. The
order exists today. They are known for their simplicity and their compassion
for the poor.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Why did Francis have a call to live a
life of simplicity? He had lived a life of material wealth and he learned that
it was not the way to God. He had to empty himself of things of this world, in
order to find God.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So what does this story say to us
today? Are we all supposed to sell all that we have and give it to the poor,
and live on the street? No, I don’t think that is what Jesus is asking.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But Jesus is asking us this: where do
we put our treasure? Where is our heart? Do we focus our attention on the
things of this world and the drive to get more things? Or are we seeking to
know him more deeply? </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Scripture says the LOVE of money is the
root of evil. Money, in itself, is not evil. It’s when we love money too much
that we get into trouble. It’s when we love money more than we love God that we
lose our way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I don’t buy lottery tickets. I don’t go to casinos. Now I
know some of you go to the casino for entertainment. You decide how much money
you will spend and you don’t cross the line. But I don’t go. The reason is
because I don’t want to get caught up in the desire for money. I don’t want to
fall into the deadly sin of greed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
I start thinking about what I would do if I had “all that money” I start
thinking that money will fix all my problems. And money is not the be all and
end all of the world. Money is simply a tool. I don’t want to put my trust in
money. I want to put my trust in God. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I believe that is what Jesus is saying with this parable.
Don’t trust your possessions. Don’t trust your earning potential. Don’t trust
your 401K. Trust God. God is the only source of true security that we have. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">God will pick us up when we fall down. God will give us hope
when we are in despair. God will give us strength when we are weak. God will
show us the way when we are lost. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">God is the one we trust. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So don’t get caught up in the things of this world. Put your
trust in the one who will not fail you. Put your trust in God. Amen. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Greetings loyal blog readers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We, for the size church we are, are truly
blessed to have some incredible guest preachers come through our midst.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week, it was Morgan Guyton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Morgan is the author of “How Jesus Saves the
World from Us: 12 Antidotes to Toxic Christianity”. His blog Mercy Not
Sacrifice is hosted at Patheos. He and his wife Cheryl are co-directors of NOLA
Wesley, a Reconciling United Methodist campus ministry at Tulane and Loyola in
New Orleans, LA.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now,
Pastor Cheri loves to preach from a manuscript.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In part that is to make things a whole lot easier on your blogging
team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t get us wrong, the Holy Spirit
often takes her off the script, and you’ll know that, if you join us in
worship, if you see myself or one of our team furiously typing onto a
laptop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sit and follow along and then
edit as the Holy Spirit leads her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>However,
not all pastors preach from a manuscript.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some memorize one and share with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Others draft an outline and we fill it in for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others, like Morgan, have it all inside them
and share with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They make our job
more challenging, but our worship amazing, just like the other styles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, for those of us who want to give you
written word learners a better long distance experience, we get to have a white
knuckle Sunday on weeks like this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But
it’s worth it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If you
don’t know, Pastor Cheri’s last church, before founding the Village was Central
United Methodist Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was the
longest serving pastor in its hundred plus year history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Central was, like us, a Reconciling Ministry
church and did some incredible ministry in its neighborhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly, five pastors later, Central has
closed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But some of its incredible
contributions live on, including Morgan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In to his book, Morgan credits Central, during Cheri’s time there, with
saving his life and putting him on a path to his ministry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Our
scripture this week was Luke 11:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1-13 for
those following along on the web.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you’ve not read it, do so before reading any further.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This one time where the analogies are very
needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Done yet?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not, take your time, if not read on. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And here’s my best attempt at capturing his
amazing message from today:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So when
you ask for a fish do you get a snake instead? When you ask for an egg, do you
get a scorpion instead?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sure hope
not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But that’s what our scripture speaks about
this week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s go with a more modern
analogy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Ever go to a white elephant
party?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Morgan was at a church in
Northern Virginia. They absolutely loved having them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve done some in my family and we’ve done
one at the Village as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Morgan’s
church really loved them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you do this
often, there are always favorite white elephant gifts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my family it was a light up Virgin
Mary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At Morgan’s church, the favorites
included talking gnomes, a singing and talking fish, and amazingly a bottle of
Arbor Mist wine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Imagine opening a Christmas gift
from a loving parent and getting a snake or a scorpion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pretty bizarre to imagine a parent giving a
child that. But look at our world, you see things like that every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Civil war and unrest and terrorism
abound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a world of plenty and amazing
medicine we see hunger and death from diseases that we cure daily in our
country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking around our world, get
to wondering if we have a good god?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Morgan comes from an evangelical
background, so how this could happen with our loving God was easy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The answer to that was and is always that sin
was the answer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that works for some
issues, for example the civil war in Syria is due to violence and hoarding and
greed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But we can’t explain all of that
with sin. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vincent who is eight years old, who Morgan met
through a former church is battling brain cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can’t explain that with sin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vincent has a stint to drain fluid from
brain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also has a shaved head, with crease
in his skull.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s otherwise a vivacious
kid with look of a cyborg per Morgan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But he has a positive, wise attitude about life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He can hardly see or hear, but is
joyful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Like Morgan, it doesn’t make any
sense to me that I’m privileged as much as we are, and we get our prayers
answered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both have meaningful jobs
where we get to help people and see the fruit of our works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both have roofs over our heads, cars that
start when we ask, spouses and children who have what they need.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This, when there are kids in Syria or Sudan
praying for peace, parents there praying for food or medicine or safety for
their children and people all over the world whose prayers go seemingly
unheard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
It’s hard to see a good God, when
you live in a world of snakes and scorpions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And we’re not just talking metaphorical ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Morgan’s wife’s cousin has a ranch in
Texas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unlike other animals, scorpions
don’t need provocation to attack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He and
his wife were sleeping in a bed and they would come in and sting them with no
provocation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not an experience I want to
have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And hard to see any good in
that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>And it
is hard at times to see any good in what is going on in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is God doing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’ve asked that question, you’re not
along.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of us have as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Jesus has an interesting way of
explaining things for us today, then again he was explaining it to people two
thousand years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Jesus, in this week’s scripture
story, makes analogy of neighbor trying to feed guests and pestering and
persevering with neighbor to get food to feed them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the story he is telling, the message is ask
and prayers will be answered, knock and the door will be opened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the question is what door will be
opened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not always the door we
expect will be open. Sometimes different than what we were asking for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
God gives us the Holy Spirit when
we pray.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May seem like an empty
thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it’s actually the most
profound gift we can receive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It changes
everything about our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we
receive the presence of God, everything changes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Morgan served as a pastor in
hospital rooms, with people with cancer, with everything falling apart
objectively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He describes that despite
that, they were at peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a chaplain
in a Veterans Administration Oncology Ward. And he described not having a clue
what to say or do to comfort the patients, but he said something amazing would
happen. They would minister to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
would reassure me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Share their witness
to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Assure me of God’s presence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
In 2002, Morgan was living here in
Toledo. Specifically, he was living at the Collingwood Art Center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Morgan Was living there for really cheap, as
all artists could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You had to pass an
audition that you were creating some form of art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says though, the audition was really easy
as they let me in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rent was very cheap,
then again, got a cell in a former convent, a small bed and desk in room
only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It really is a cool concept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The challenge is, that when get a bunch of
artists together, where artists haven’t dealt with issues that make them such
great artists, you get a strange brew. There were love triangles, self
medications, etc. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Morgan grew up in a church and he
knew he needed a new church home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
decided to walk blocks around the corner to Central United Methodist Church. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had, to that point, believed God was there
and loved him, because supposed to, but didn’t know in his heart, just his
head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Growing up evangelical, he had never
been to a church where gay people were there in large, open numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But when he walked into Central UMC, that was
what he was greeted with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But he knew
that meant they would not be fundamentalists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But things went much further, the members of Central were the most
welcoming he ever encountered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having
been a member for a decade, I agree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
only welcome in the ballpark I’ve received, and I’ve been warmly welcomed into
every church I’ve attended, was an African American United Methodist Church in
Harlem who welcomed Cheri and I on our first trip together as a new couple many
years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
At the time, Central was hosting a
book study on Henri Nouwen’s “Life of the Beloved’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it connected Morgan to God like never
before and him to the fact that he is a beloved child of God like never
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He began trying to rise up to
connect with God’s love for himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
wanted to rise up into his air, rather than slouch in the corner with his
cigarette.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Morgan’s message about the goodness
of God is not about worldly accomplishments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s not about getting the right job, having the right stuff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s about the presence of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The peace of God’s presence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that’s what his time at Central showed
him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
One key thing he and I learned from
the women who ran Central at the time, Cheri and our friend Tanya, was
centering prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’ve not experienced
it, let me try to describe it to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You find a quiet, calm space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
Morgan it was his room at the Arts Center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For me, it’s my office with all of the electronics silenced and the door
closed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You then find a focal point,
Morgan lit a simple candle, for me it’s different points in my office, a
picture of my family, a memento from a client given as a thank you, or my
imitation Samurai swords (the word translates to we serve).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
You then just breathe in and
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usually you pick a word or a phrase
to repeat as you breathe in and out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
me, it’s usually “here I am God” as I draw breath in and “make me your servant”
as I breathe out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The journey of
spiritual growth and then going out in the world to change it for the
better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For Morgan, it was “God please
clear a space for you in my heart”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
only do this about 10 minutes per day, five days a week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Morgan said that several hundred times a
night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He waited for days and days, but heard
nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Last night, Morgan went to the Arts
Center and sat down at a bench, where he smoked maybe a thousand cigarettes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And he realized that his prayers were
answered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That absence then made him
hungry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It set him on a journey to find
God’s presence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was, for him, a holy
space last night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Morgan said, when
you’re able to live in that presence, doesn’t matter what God throws at
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will know the goodness of
God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Last Thursday, Donald Trump said as
of January 20, 2017, we will be perfectly safe, all will be right with our
country and world with his leadership and God’s protection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I agree with Morgan, we don’t have that kind
of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have a god who will fill our
hearts with peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we knock, God
will open a door.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will not have a
perfect world, but we’ll have peace with what we have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
How have you tasted the presence of
God in your prayer life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think about a
place or a time where you felt perfectly at safe or at peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where was there a prayer that was
answered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have answer you want to
share, please feel free to post on our blog or Facebook page. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
And again, thank you to Morgan, his
wife and children for joining us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you’ve enjoyed his message, his book “How Jesus Saves The World From Us” is
available on Amazon.com or through Westminister John Knox Press at wjkbooks.com.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In the middle of the night on Feb 8, 1989 I
got a phone call. My sister told me that my father had died. I didn’t even know
he was sick. He had gone into the hospital that day but my mom did not think it
was serious so she had not called me and my sisters. Two of us lived across the
country and one lived in South America. My dad was 61. I was 26. He was too young
to die. I was too young to lose my father. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But there I was, flying home to Texas. A
young seminary student planning my first funeral. Trudging through grief.
Feeling numb. I remember saying that it felt like there was no blood running
through my veins. I grieved with a vengeance. I felt all the feelings. A week
or two later, back in Atlanta where I was living at the time, I was sitting in
a church Board Meeting. I don’t remember what we were discussing but I remember
thinking, “None of this matters. This is not important. My father just died.”
But that’s what happens when there is a death. Your world stops, but the rest
of the world just keeps moving forward. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I held onto God for dear life. I prayed. I
sat in silence. I asked “why?” “Why me?” “Why him?” “Why now?” God sent me
comfort in the form of compassionate friends. People offered me words of
consolation. Friends gave me hugs and comfort food. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I don’t know how I got my school work done
that semester. Somehow I managed. I worked at a church and the pastor was
compassionate and patient with me. I could not “do” anything. All I could do
was “be.” I could only “be” with God and grieve. I had to rest in God’s arms
and know that God would see me through. And of course God did see me through to
the other side of my grief. I got better. The pain subsided in time. Life went
on. I miss my dad, but grief no longer holds me in its grip. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I call that time in my life a Kairos moment,
– a moment in time that was an event; a moment when God breaks into our lives.
The Celtics call these moments </span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/11/travel/thin-places-where-we-are-jolted-out-of-old-ways-of-seeing-the-world.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“thin
places.”</span></a><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Thin places are those times and places where heaven and earth
meet. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A Kairos moment, is a time when in an
instant, you stop dead in your tracks because God gets your attention. Perhaps
like me, you suffer a great tragedy and you turn to God. Or perhaps you see a
person show great compassion, and that gets your attention. A Kairos moment can
happen when you see something beautiful, or puzzling, when you are frightened
or grateful, and you remember to pay attention to God, and you reflect if even
for a moment on what God might have to say to you in this moment. My father’s
death was for me a Kairos moment. I was drawn closer to God, and forever
changed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I want to take you back now 2000 years to that
other story we just read (Luke 10:38-42 for those following along on the Internet).
The scene is Bethany, a village on the East side of Jerusalem in what is today
known as part of the West Bank. Jesus has traveled to there to visit his
friends, perhaps to get away from the busyness of the city. This is during a
time when Jesus is traveling from village to village, telling stories, healing
the sick and sharing the good news. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sometimes, as with last week’s story, religious
leaders are asking questions and trying to trip him up. “What do I need to do
to get eternal life?” “Love God and your neighbor,” Jesus says. “And who is my
neighbor?” the man says. Jesus tells the story of the Samaritan, the “outsider”
who shows compassion, as a way of teaching that his followers will treat
EVERYONE as a neighbor. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So, Jesus goes to visit his friends Mary and
Martha who are the sisters of Lazarus. So the story goes, there is quite a
contrast in the way the two sisters relate to Jesus in his brief visit in their
home. Both welcome him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Martha is
distracted by working in the kitchen to prepare a nice meal. Mary, sits at the
feet of her teacher and “hangs on every word he says.” A bit of sibling rivalry
kicks in. I’ve never heard of sibling rivalry. Martha calls upon Jesus to scold
her sister: “Master, can’t you tell Mary to help me in the kitchen. She has
left me to do all the work!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jesus looks at Martha and says: “Chill! You
are stressing out about unimportant stuff. It doesn’t matter what we eat. Mary
has chosen to pay attention to the main course. This moment will never be taken
from her.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">You see Mary had a Kairos moment – that
moment in time when God breaks into our lives. She was not going to be
distracted by the things of this world. She could only focus on BEING in the
moment with Jesus. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mary was not going to waste one moment of
that visit. She was going to drink in every moment of the experience sitting at
Jesus’ feet and taking in his presence. Poor Martha could not relax and enjoy the
Kairos moment. She was too tied up in her responsibilities, and DOING so many
things. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And Martha got jealous that Mary was enjoying
the moment with Jesus. Jesus invited Martha to choose the moment too. But
Martha could not. Sometimes, we have the opportunity of choosing our moment
with God. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Other times, like when my father died, a
crisis is thrust upon us. Hopefully in that crisis we will remember to put our
trust in God rather than panic and think we can only depend on ourselves. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But you see Mary listened to Jesus because
she knew that Jesus would teach her the way to life eternal. I listened to God
in my grief because I felt like I was dying too, and I needed to find my way
back to life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We all have opportunities to stop DOING, and
to just BE in the presence of God. Sometimes these opportunities come in the
form of a Kairos moment, something that stops us dead in our tracks and calls
us into the presence of God. But we can choose to stop any time, like Mary did.
We can choose to slow down and BE in the presence of God, by taking a walk in
nature and paying attention to the beauty of God’s creation. We can choose to
slow down and BE in the presence of God by sitting still and lighting a candle
and contemplating God as the light that shines in our darkness. We can choose
to slow down and BE in the presence of God by closing our eyes and breathing in
the spirit of God. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We are all so good at DOING so many things
like Martha. But how many of us know how to slow down and just BE like Mary? To
BE in the present moment and just be thankful for the moment is the hardest
thing for me, how about you? But to BE in the present moment and be thankful
that we belong to God can be one of life’s biggest blessings. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Is it hard for you to slow down and BE in God’s presence? Do
you have a daily prayer ritual? I know my life is so much calmer when I start
my days with prayer. Sometimes I read scripture or read something in a book of
spiritual writings. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sometimes I write in a journal. Sometimes I
light a candle to remind me that God is my light. But the most important thing
I can do is to be still and listen to God. God always gives me a reassuring
message when I am quiet. These are my Kairos moments, when God breaks into my
world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It is so easy to become distracted by so many
other things: to do lists, dirty dishes in the kitchen sink, phone calls that
need to be made, e mails, Pokemon Go and Facebook. All of those things can
wait. Those are the things Martha busied herself with. Jesus said, “Martha,
don’t worry about those things of the world. Be like Mary. Sit at my feet and
listen to me.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sometimes a crisis, such as a death, will
drive us closer to God. In our turmoil we turn to God. But let’s not wait until
it’s an emergency. Let’s turn to God every day, to start the day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Don’t be distracted by many things. Only one
thing is important. Let’s focus your attention on God. Give God your time. Be
in God’s presence. Just as Mary was blessed by Jesus, you will be blessed by God.
Amen. </span></div>

boldly asks Jesus what he has to do to get to heaven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He already knows the answer since he’s
obviously well educated, been to Hebrew school where he had to learn the Torah
and other books of the Bible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He recites
the appropriate scriptures about what he is supposed to do, but then, it says,
“in order to justify himself”, he asks the second question:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Who is my neighbor?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe he thought Jesus would give him a list
of people who could be acceptable as neighbors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Maybe he thought Jesus wouldn’t have an answer to such an ambiguous
question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>But Jesus, as usual, tells a story
in answer to the question. The story is about a man who gets stuck in the wrong
part of town at the wrong time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s
walking down a dangerous highway, one that’s known for hijackings and
robberies, one that everyone knows is better to avoid, but is hard to not use
since it’s the main highway between Jerusalem and Jericho. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With no modern vehicles to speed away in, with
no doors to lock, and with no real place to hide, this guy is really out
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, just like people told him,
the robbers and thugs come out and get him, beating him up, taking his shoes
and his clothes, and leaving him in a heap on the side of the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Other people travel down this road
at the same hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Evidently no one
witnessed the beating and robbery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
happens a lot, doesn’t it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No witnesses,
no way to identify the thugs, no way to hunt them down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the people traveling down the road are
seemingly not very compassionate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
couple of them, people whom you would have thought would have stopped, a priest
and a lawyer, crossed over to the other side of the road and kept going.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was finally an outcast, a Samaritan, a
person who was hated by the Jews, who stopped to help this Jewish man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He bound up his wounds, took him to the
nearest hotel and paid for his stay and his care, promising to pay for the rest
of his caretaking when he came back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So the story ends with Jesus
pointing out that the neighbor was the one who showed mercy and tells the
questioning lawyer that he is to do the same.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Seems pretty straightforward doesn’t
it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course when we read this, we put
ourselves in the story as the Samaritan, the Good Samaritan, the one who of
course stopped to help the wounded traveler, who even bound up his wounds,
carried him on his donkey, and paid for his stay at the inn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course we would do that. Right?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I have a spiritual director who I’ve
been seeing for a long time – at least 7 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She knows me pretty well as a result of our conversations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes that’s a good thing, and sometimes,
it’s a maddening thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like the last
time we met, for example.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As many of you
know, the United Methodist General Conference met in May and had discussions
about the acceptance of homosexuals in our church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I call them discussions but they were really
debates, cruel conversations and never-ending diatribes on both sides of the
issue, leaving us with no new insights and no new decisions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to tell you that by the time General
Conference was over, I was seriously looking to change churches, not from The
Village, but from United Methodism. I’m grateful for the Village’s connection
with the UMC and the UCC as it gives me the option for a more open church in
the UCC part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway – I was lamenting
with my director about the hatefulness of the evangelicals in our denomination
who are very one sided and rigid, who interpret scripture for their own best
interests and who even were caught bribing and coercing delegates from Africa
and other countries to vote the way they wanted them to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I must have gone on for awhile, and finally
my director said, “What do you think motivates them?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why do you think they are doing what they are
doing?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Immediately, I said,
“Fear.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And she, in her wisdom said,
“And what do you have in common with them?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After a moment of thought, I decided I hated her – not really – but what
a great question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is it that
motivates me and makes me do what I do in the church around this issue?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s fear that what I love about the church will go away; it’s fear that
I won’t get my way; it’s fear that my voice will be lost somehow – and maybe
I’ll lose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s all the same things that
they are feeling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just hate it when my
director is on target!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She got me on
this one.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So when I saw that the scripture for
today was the Good Samaritan, I just had to pause and think about where I am in
this story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kate Matthews, a UCC pastor
says, “</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It seems like a very familiar story about showing compassion even for
people we may not want to treat well: a nice little story with a nice little
moral, especially for those of us who like to do good deeds for the needy. The
story certainly doesn't make our stomach churn or offend our sensibilities; in
fact, we tend to hear it with a satisfied ear, as if we believe we would surely
do what the "Good" Samaritan did when he was moved by compassion to
help the victim of highway robbery. At least, we'd like to think we would. In
other words, we put ourselves in the place of the Samaritan, and it's
comfortable there.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If you look at the
story as Jesus tells it, he has us as the one in the ditch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are the ones who need a neighbor to help
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are the ones lying there helpless
and we need our enemies to have compassion on us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think about that for a moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need our enemies to have compassion on
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I need the evangelicals that I
quarrel with so much, to be my neighbor, to have compassion on me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I need those that I judge for whatever reason
to have compassion on me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to say,
that this whole experience of realizing our connection, that my evangelical
enemies are also my brothers and sisters, that my conservative Trump followers
are also my brothers and sisters, that those I look upon as less than me – yes,
I still do that sometimes – are my brothers and sisters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are neighbors, and we are to love them as
we love ourselves.</span></span></div>

about us as individuals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love to do
charity work, reaching out to people who are different from us and feeling
really good about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not just
about us; it’s about the community as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have heard in the news this week about shootings of black men that
are seemingly unjustified, and in Dallas, a place where the police have really
worked at being open and compassionate, where those in the demonstration about
the injustice were snapping selfies with the police, a sniper killed five
officers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have lived through the
senseless murder of people in Orlando, St Paul, San Bernardino, and Charleston.
And the list goes on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I heard this week
that bullying is up in schools all over the country as reported by the Southern
Poverty Law Center, starting in the third grade and it is getting worse all the
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Political rallies have become
battlegrounds, with people attacking each other over who to vote for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Divisive rhetoric is killing us –
literally--<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and it’s running rampant in
our country, affecting the way we live and work with one another.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>According to Bernard
Brandon Scott, "Not just individuals have to cross the line, but
communities have to cross the line. Yet the crossing of that line always begins
with the first Samaritan whose heart is moved by a Jew. Such people are
initiating a new world for all of us."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some of you may know Woody and Judy Trautman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Woody is now in his nineties with failing
health, but the Trautmans have been instrumental in Toledo in forming and
maintaining the Multifaith Council.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back
in the early 2000s, Woody had a passion for interfaith dialogue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was an organized group in Toledo that
consisted of pastors and leaders of various faith groups, but all we did was
meet together once a month and periodically do some kind of joint project or
service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That group organized the first
interfaith Habitat build in the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But it was just the leaders who benefited from that group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Woody and Judy wanted us to really get to
know each other better, to sit and eat and talk together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And so they worked very hard and reached out
to the interfaith community and formed the Multifaith Council of Toledo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They now have annual dinners, they meet at
each others’ houses of worship, they were instrumental in getting Toledo
declared a Compassionate Community, they have developed interfaith gardens
across the city, and have had youth activities, calling on our next generation
to live in peace. </span></span></div>

is changing our community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Woody and
Judy and now a host of others were the first Samaritans to cross the road and
reach out to the “other.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this time
of increased bullying, even by at least one of our political candidates,
increased violence and decreased civil conversations, the community needs to
join together and realize that we are all neighbors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It doesn’t matter whether we are gay or straight,
Muslim or Jew, Christian or Atheist or Agnostic, black, white or brown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It doesn’t matter how old or young we are,
what our cultural heritage is, what our political affiliation is, or where we
live or eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are all neighbors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I have to tell you that if I were the one
lying along side of the road, I would want <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>any</u></i></b> of them to help me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wouldn’t you?</span></span></div>

this story?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How do we live it out in our
lives?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who is my neighbor?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And maybe most importantly, how do I get to
know him/her?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can I learn to love my
neighbor as myself and stop the judging and the holier-than-thou attitude that
threatens to undo me and us?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who is your
neighbor?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And who is it that you are at
odds with and need to show compassion to?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Can we cross over to the other side of the road to help the one who
doesn’t think or look like us?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can we
follow the example of Jesus and accept all people as our neighbors, even if we
disagree with them?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can we reach out to
a Muslim?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can we reach out to someone of
a different racial background?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can we
accept it if they reach out to us?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could
the priest who walked on the other side of the road be me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could the Levite who walked on the other side
of the road be me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could the one lying

with – arguing, fighting, misunderstanding – who is it who makes you so mad you
can’t see straight because they are so narrowly focused?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What can you do to reach out to them and to

disagree, letting go of the need to be right, or righteous, to be on top, to be
the best, to win.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone is our
neighbor, whether we like it or not. Jesus calls us to show mercy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Go and do likewise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Amen.</span></span></div>

<span class="text"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Do you
remember who brought you into the faith? Who first told you about Jesus? I
remember a Sunday School teacher who made an impression on me. I can’t remember
her name. But she was kind and patient and compassionate. Through her, I caught
a glimpse of the power of God’s love. I remember her teaching us that little
song about Zacchaeus. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Zacchaeus was a
wee little man and a wee little man was he, he climbed up in the sycamore tree
for the Lord he wanted to see, and when the Master came along, he looked up in
that tree, and he said, Zacchaeus, you come down, For I’m coming to your house
today, I’m coming to your house today.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="text"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">No one
liked Zacchaeus because he was a tax collector. He was an outcast. But Jesus
picked him out of a crowd and went to his house. Jesus loved him. I learned
from that story that even when I feel like I don’t fit in, Jesus loves me and
I’m part of Jesus’ family. I have a place in Jesus’ family. That’s why I want
to pastor churches that create space for people who don’t fit in. There are
times when we all feel like we don’t fit in, but with Jesus, we all have a
place at the table. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="text"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Do you
remember who first brought you to the faith? Was it your parents? A youth
leader? A friend? It was probably more than one person. I know it was for me.
For me, it was a series of people who embodied the love of God. They loved me
and revealed to me the power of God’s love. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="text"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">You know,
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“One
of the fascinating things about the Jesus story is how far and how fast it
spread. The book of Acts begins in Jerusalem and ends 1500 miles to the west in
Rome. … By the year 635 believers confessed Jesus as Lord in China. A hundred
years after that, Syrian believers had spread the gospel to Baghdad, Tibet and
India. Do you know how far the apostle Paul traveled? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The apostle Paul traveled 10,000 miles
proclaiming the good news of God's love. (Source: </span><a href="http://www.journeywithjesus.net/Essays/20130701JJ.shtml"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">http://www.journeywithjesus.net/Essays/20130701JJ.shtml</span></a><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">).</span>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And yet, right here in Toledo
there are tens of thousands of people who do not know Jesus and who do not know
the power of God’s love. After all these centuries, how can that be? But it’s
true. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">That
brings us to today’s story. The story is about multiplication. You know Jesus
started out with twelve disciples. That’s not really very many to start a
world-wide movement with. So eventually he found seventy, and he sent them out.
He said, “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few.” Have you ever
planted a garden? Did you ever go on vacation just as some of the vegetables
were ready to harvest? It’s not a pretty site. When you have to leave your
beautiful garden untended. Jesus saw a world where there was a harvest full of
people ready to hear the message of God’s saving love, but there were few
workers to go out and share that message. There was a sense of urgency that he needed
to get those seventy out into the towns and villages sharing the good news. So
he sent them out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But he
warned them that they would be like sheep among wolves. Some would not welcome
them. Some would fight them and persecute them. Being a Christian was not an
easy thing in Jesus’ day. People were afraid of this new religion. So they were
not welcome everywhere they went. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And then
where was another odd thing about their preparations. Jesus told them not to
pack anything: no bag, no purse, not even a good pair of walking shoes. He
wanted them to depend upon God and upon the hospitality of strangers. He said
that when they entered a town they would find people of peace who would welcome
them into their town and give them a place to stay and food to eat and that
they should stay with these people. And while there they should heal the sick
and proclaim the kingdom of God. And sure enough when the disciples came back
they were filled with joy because they had been well received and their work
had been fruitful. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But Jesus
said in some towns they would not be welcome, and when they left those towns
they should just shake the dust off their feet and be on their way. Those
people were not ready to receive the message of the kingdom of God.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Some people think this message of
being sent out today only applies to pastors – that we are the ones who are
supposed to be the evangelists. But these seventy were not priests. They were
ordinary people, baptized Christians like you, being called to share the Good
News. Jesus sends every one of us out too, to share the Good News. Now I know that
sounds scary, right? We don’t think of ourselves as evangelists. We don’t want
to go knocking on the doors of strangers and sharing our faith. And I’m not
asking you to do that. I don’t think Jesus calls many of us to do that in
Toledo, Ohio in 2016. It’s a turn off to people.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But there
are millions ways to witness to our faith. There are all sorts of ways to share
the love of God with a hurting world in ways that are authentic for us. What
about this? You see a customer in line being rude to the cashier at the grocery
store. They complain and berate the cashier. After that customer is gone you
come up next in line and you offer words of compassion and kindness to the
cashier. You are showing the love of Jesus by your actions. You are doing an
act of healing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Imagine
yourself by a grieving person in a funeral home. Everything in you tells you to
cut and run. You hate funerals and funeral homes. (I’ve got news for you, no
one likes funerals.) But you stay. You make conversation with the person who is
grieving. You offer words of comfort. You are modeling the love of Jesus by
your actions. You are doing an act of healing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Imagine
there is a fight in your household, I know most of your houses don’t have fights
(don’t laugh too hard now). Two other people are arguing. You step in and
invite them to calm down, to take a time out. You remind them that we are a
family and that we love one another. Or maybe you are the one who is fighting.
You take a deep breath and remember that you love God. You ask God to help you
calm down and talk to your family member and treat her as a child of God. You
are doing an act of healing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Or maybe
you are talking to a co-worker who is going through a divorce or dealing with a
child with drug abuse issues. You listen patiently while your friend tells his
story. And then you say, “I find comfort in going to my church. Could I pick
you up Sunday and take you to church with me?” You are doing an act of healing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There are
so many ways we can be sent out to share the love of God. You don’t have to be
“in your face” about it. Be genuine. Be authentic. Now, sometimes, people may
reject you. You many invite someone to church and they may say, “No way, I’ve
tried church and it’s not for me.” You might try to tell them that The Village
is different but they may not believe you. So, like in the story, when it says
to shake the dust off your feet, you may just have to let it go. They are not
ready to receive God’s love. They are not open. So say a quiet prayer to God,
commending them to God’s care, and let it go. Trust that another person, on another
day, will reach them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But this
is the message of the story. You can be an evangelist. I know that word is
scary. But evangelism simply means Good News. So an evangelist is a bearer of
Good News. You can share the good news that God loves us. You can give a
message of hope to someone who is hurting. You can give a message of
encouragement to someone who is beaten down by life. You can give a message of
comfort to someone who is grieving. You can be a messenger of Good News. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Think
back with me to the beginning of my message. Who was the person who brought you
to faith? Was it a parent, a teacher, a friend? I’ll bet it was an ordinary
person whose life had been touched by the extraordinary love of God. And that
person was so moved by God’s love that she could not keep quiet. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Be that
person. Be so grateful for God’s love in your life that you can’t keep quiet
about it. Tell your friends and neighbors when the opportunity arises. Show
love. People need the love of God. They need the Lord. When life gets rough,
they need the love of God. So reveal the love of God to them, by your actions.
We are a people sent out into the world for God’s purposes. Share the Good News
of God’s love with everyone you meet. Amen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
