    "Why would someone choose to give us a perfectly good Sunday morning to be present in worship? Why would someone choose to be part of a community of believers, a kind of family that you don't always like, don't always get along with, don't always agree with? Why would be part of anything that requires more from us with everything already pressing on us? "

    Peter's Vision and How it Changed Everything

    Sermon preached on April 30, 2023"Diana Butler Bass's book, Christianity for the Rest of Us, says, “The whole message of the Christian scripture is based in the idea of metanoia, the change of heart that happens when we meet God face-to-face. Even a cursory knowledge of history reveals that Christianity is a religion about change. The Christian faith always changes-even when some its adherents claim that it does not.” God did not meet all of those people in the Old Testament, ask them to build altars where they were to mark the place of the divine intervention of God, change their names just to believe that that just happens to them. God did not meet Paul on the road to Damascus and change his name to Saul. God did not meet him, one who was persecuting Christians because he believed in his heart of hearts that was the right thing to do, to just give us an interesting story. God did not meet Peter in a vision and say, “Don't call what I have made clean, unclean” just to show that God did that one thing once. God is a God of movement and change, God is at work right now in ways and in places that we cannot even imagine. We have this changing moments in scripture to show us that it is possible, even probable. What change of heart, what miracle of change is happening in you today?"

    This is a sermon preached on May 23, 2021. Due to sound issues it was never posted. In light of the recent decisions by The Southern Baptist Convention, we felt it was important to retrieve it and make sure it was available. If you are looking for another way of understanding what scripture says about women, this will be a great starting place."Here are a few guiding principles when you are looking for what is right and true, students hear this because it will not be long that you are in college and looking for a campus ministry to join or a church to join, If you pull a few verses out of context and make sweeping statement about half of the world's population, it is about power and control. Do not believe it as the truth when they convincingly lob a handful of verses at you as declarative, about anything. Just because it is something that we have come to believe or has been preached over time, does not mean it is right. The Bible is a radical account of a God that is calling the people back in relationship with God and we have too often used it to limit, to put people in their place, to define who are sinners and who is not. And that is not the message of scripture."

    The Price of Unity

    I heard a sermon recently by a national leader calling for unity, focusing on the ways we are alike. But the problem is that the ways we are different harm and belittle people groups that are on the margins and I believe that should be where we draw the line. We cannot hold up not speaking our mind, wanting to keep the peace for everything. Unity at the expense of health and humanity is dangerous.

    The truth is that we are made in the image of God, just as we are. There are up sides and there are down sides to who we are. But all of that has been made free, has been blessed, is continuing to be reformed for the work of God in Christ. It is in Christ that we can experience freedom from the things that hold us back. It is in Christ that we are lovingly refined to be the better image of God in the world, to rule as God would with love and care, each in our own way. We are who we are and we do not need to wallow in that, or feel shame about that. We are made for this glorious purpose when we are in Christ. In this new place, in this new perspective, when we are in Christ. And that is the glad text this morning. I am still me everywhere I go but when I go there, when I live in Christ, letting the way that Jesus sees me, the way that Jesus keeps shaping me, I am living out my glorious purpose in this world. Just as I am, and just as I am becoming. And in this place, in this in Christ place, the power struggles, the things that shame us in this world, the kinds of burdens we carry, none of that holds the same value here. We are free from those.

    "And the words of Paul say that when we feel that pain, we need to lean into grace. Grace for ourselves and grace for other people. We are to be reminded that God has seen us right where we are. Right in the place of where we are lacking, right in the middle of our failures, right in the place of our pride, Jesus meets us there. The point is the grace. The point is Jesus. Rachel Held Evans also wrote, “The apostles remembered what many modern Christians tend to forget-that what makes the gospel offensive isn't who it keeps out but who it lets in.” Remember this morning that includes you. Remember this morning that includes the one you would want to keep out."

    And then he goes on with kind of a group of mixed metaphors about the power of the tongue and talk. The bottom line he is getting at is that the words you say have the power to destroy or create. The words you put into the world can seem so innocent. You did not do anything, you just said something or maybe even hinted at something. If someone else chose to take action on your words, you can't control that. And James says no, your words, the messages you send out into the world either build the world up or tear it down.

    It is helpful to ask our selves if the way they talked about God is to be descriptive of God, or more descriptive of their understanding of God at the time. Remember the culture in which this was written. They really did believe that God, and other cultures around them, their gods, made everything happen. They did not have the science we do today. They had no other language. Now, do I believe that God allowed these things to happen, I certainly do. God gave them chance after chance, tried to show them the way, and over and over again they abuse their power and their are consequences to that. They make wrong choices about how they live their lives and their are consequences. But do you see how that is different that a violent, wrathful God who hates the things that I do, and who has had enough and smites everyone? And I know that language is in scripture but again, is that God or is that the only language they had. I am certain that even today we all know someone who blames every good or bad thing that happens in their life on God. It takes away all responsibility, for the good and the bad.

    Somewhere in the middle of Joseph's story he recognized the presence of God with him. He recognized the presence of God working to make all things good, working to shape and mold him. It did not make the slavery, the prison, or the deceptions any less awful but it did allow them to have a different purpose. What his brothers meant for bad, what Potiphar's wife meant for bad, what the cupbearers forgiveness meant for bad, God was present in. God worked them for good and somewhere along the way Joseph realized that. Our perspective changes when we can see God in the middle of it with us. In the thick of it with us.

A position at work, a relationship, the next high grade, getting into the right school. We spend our lives chasing some sense of peace and purpose that God has been offering all along. We think, we would just achieve this next thing, all will be well. When this problem is resolved, when this relationship is fixed, when the next, when the next, when the next. That peace, purpose, that promise is always just out of reach and we become like Jacob, we are just grasping for the next thing that will surely fix it.

There is illness, untimely death, a marriage falling apart, a child that makes choices you don't agree with, a job market that drastically changes, families who have different opinions/ways of seeing the world that make it difficult to be in relationship. Abraham's life was the same. The initial promise was go to the land I will show you, which appears to be Canaan. God promises that land to Abrahams ancestors but they don't stay there. There is famine and war that has Abraham moving around. The promise was not just to go and settle. God keeps moving and working in Abraham's life even in the unsettling seasons.

    I grew up in a culture where if you didn't believe in a literal creation of the earth in six days with a day of rest, you weren't really Christian. In fact, we were trained to argue it in our schools….to not let that scientific education get the best of us. Now, I believe that God could have created the world in six days if God wanted to. But I do not believe that arguing that was ever the point. I think that is also why we have two creation accounts. In the chapter immediately following this one, there is another account and in some traditions, like the one I grew up in, we mix the two, picking and choosing and saying that you have to understand just what we have picked from the two stories literally.

"In our little worlds we stand up to those who would harm or belittle or make fun of others because we know that each person is made in the image of God. In our own little worlds we stand up to racist jokes, to jokes about peoples appearances, to the vilification of women and girls because those that abuse power are propped up by large systems of people who are often never lovingly challenged them to think or act differently. We have the hard conversations, we stick our necks out, we call or email or send letters to our politicians because they need to hear that we care.Our silence in these moments will be deafening. Benjamin Cremer said, “Our public witness as Christians should make people say, ‘look at the power of their love,” not “look at how much they love power.” What is your love motivating to do today?"

We tried to brush away vulnerability and weakness maybe because of our pride, maybe because of something we learned along the way that God is only for the strong, there is not room for weakness and vulnerability in Christianity. But to be the church, we have to learn how to do that together. We will only be able to go alone so long until like Moses, we are collapsing under the weight and wondering where God is. We have to be doing the hard and messy work of caring for each other."

Despite all of the wrong things that have happened, despite the ways that it has been misrepresented, the Christian movement keeps going. We are invited to be part of that very real movement. In order to do that we have to face the whispers of our ancestors, of our contemporaries and the ways they do not represent Jesus because we might find a little racist ideology, a little sexist ideology, a little of the power we like that motivates the way we judge others and see and operate in the world. We cannot fix all the sins of the world and Jesus did not ask us to take that on. But in order to really be a part of this world altering movement, we have to be humble, keep learning and keep asking for forgiveness from others. That is the gospel. That none of us are perfect and that we will do our own work to know how to better represent this Jesus movement we are a part of."

    Sermon on August 30. Matthew 5:13-16"I didn’t know that as the week went on, scripture would be loosely used in other ways to defend certain political decisions and behaviors. We have seen the name of Christ, the name of the Spirit and scripture coopted this week. This is not a political sermon. I am not telling you who to vote for or who not to vote for, but I am speaking specifically of the name of Christianity being co opted for what some would say are American values. We call this Christian nationalism. It is where we put the worship of power, the worship of our political leaders, the worship of our flag, above our God. You can love your country, your flag, your political leaders but when that love gets caught up in an inappropriate way with your worship of God, that is the problem. God, Christianity, Scripture all speak to who we are as a nation but who we are as a nation does not sum up what God, christianity and scripture have to say. Our faith, our worship should be bigger than just our country. I am calling us this morning back to being salt and light, back to bringing out the God colors of the world."

    August 23. 2 Corinthians 8:1-15"I wanted to be in a place where the church was actually being the church and so I don’t mind the financial sacrifice. It doesn’t make it less easy some days to hustle and figure out where the salary is going to come from to support myself but I wouldn’t go back to that full time job with the benefits for anything. I wanted to be in a church where we talked about racism, where we were really welcoming of all people, where the programs were not driving the church and keeping us busy and numb from what was happening in the world. I wanted to be in a church where we were nimble and creative. I wanted those things because I believe the world wants and needs those things and that is why I tithe. I tithe because I believe this community needs a church like Mosaic. I believe we all who are on this call need a church like Mosaic."
