09/04/2011 Fierce Conversations

Well, it that is my sermon illustration for today I’d better quit my job and start working for Hallmark. This light hearted example is nothing like the tough conversations that Jesus is calling us to have in this Sunday’s gospel. We know this is difficult because what Jesus is asking us to do is the opposite of normal human tendencies. Normally if I get in a fight with Matt I’d go tell Brian and Susan. They’d tell a couple of people and pretty soon two or three people would come to me and say, “I can’t believe he did that!” And a couple of people would go to Matt and say, “I can’t believe she said that!” And maybe eventually Matt and I would confront each other publically and our relationship would be broken and the community would be torn apart. That is how we usually operate, at church, at work, in our neighborhoods.

My friend Heidi is teaching Sunday school at her church this year. They decided to read the earliest stories from the Hebrew Scriptures to the class of 7 -11 year-olds. It was Heidi’s turn to tell the story of Cain and Able. Do you remember the story? Cain and Able make sacrifices to God, God seems to prefer Able’s sacrifice and so Cain gets angry and jealous and kills Able. After telling the story one girl looked at Heidi and said, “Why didn’t they just talk about their feelings?”

12/24/2010 – “Beauty and Pain”
Tonight we celebrate Christmas, the feast of the incarnation. We celebrate that unique Christian claim that God became human, that in Christ God knows the depth and breadth of human experience. God knows hot and cold, suffering and joy, sorrow and sweetness.
As I meditated on the meaning of Christmas these last few weeks I kept coming back to this passage from Betty Smith’s novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
