SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, May 29, 2022
Dear Friends in Christ –
For 154 years a day has been set aside to honor those who have fallen in defense of our nation. This year is no exception. But this year for the first time in decades our nation is not engaged in an overt war though across the globe women and men serve in advisory positions and train national forces to care for themselves.
How strange and how tragic to find ourselves in deadly domestic battles of ideology that play out in destructive ways resulting in death of innocents. When seeds of hate find fertile ground on media platforms that don’t demand responsibility nor truth and evade culpability, life itself and our way of living is compromised.
The prophet Habakkuk asked, “How long, Lord, must I call for help but you do not listen?”
It may feel like that now. Feelings are real, but not necessarily based on what we know be true. Our watchful God is present each moment and attentive to our needs.
On this Memorial Day, let us honor those who have fallen in defense of our nation, and those who have fallen through no fault of their own trusting that the God of the cosmos is the God of each moment and the lover of each of us.
As we look through a dimly lit mirror, let us access the clarity of God’s illimitable grace together.
Please worship from home if you are exhibiting any COVID-like symptoms, are aware of an exposure, or have been asked by a school or other institution to quarantine or isolate.
