This summer Pastor Nancy is offering sermons on topics chosen by the congregation in an “Everything You Always Wanted to Hear in a Sermon about but Were Afraid to Ask” series. Questions cover all types of issues: biblical texts, theological issues, Christian practices, and more.
On Sunday, June 6, we began exploring our first question, “What is the destiny of humanity?”
We watched the creation and destruction of a Buddhist mandala:
We considered the story of the call of Moses in Exodus 2:23-3:15. At the burning bush Moses encounters the God of compassion, a God who reaches out to be in relationship with humankind. And yet at the same time, Moses experiences God as holy other, powerful, awe-inspiring. The story is at its core the mystery of the God who is unknowable and yet seeks us out.
What is the destiny of humankind? To walk in the way of the God who saves and the God who calls.
Rather than offer stock answers to questions of faith, the hope is that this sermon series will facilitate more conversations among our folk.
