Speaker: Rev. David Howell |
In his sermon titled "Authors of our Own Destruction," Pastor Dave shared the many parallels between 2,700 years ago and today. The answer to the age old question of "Is there still time to change?" is yes, if we allow ourselves to be remade in the potter's hands: to have hope for change, new life, and justice, and are willing to be transformed. | |
Pastor Eileen challenged us with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.” We are called to continually engage in the work of radical transformation of overhauling systemic racism, even if it makes us a bit uneasy. In the words of MLK, "The whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway." | |
Pastor Dave spoke about how faith starts when we believe we're connected. The next step is to uplift and serve each other to share the joy of being in community much like Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King did. Dr. King worked to see the image of God on earth by being courageous and working to make our country more just for all. | |
Pastor Eileen spoke about why Jesus, who was without sin, chose to get baptized. "It was an act of solidarity in a nation and world of sinners ... Jesus identifies with us — damaged and broken people who need God." The comfort of knowing we are not alone, that God is right here with us, can help us move away from fractiousness and toward hope, no matter how exhausted we may be. ❤️ | |
