SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, March 12, 2023
Dear Friends in Christ –
Here’s a story: There was a priest, a rabbi and a minister. These three were the only clerics in this small town and had become good friends – in fact good enough friends to take a fishing trip together. While away from the pressures of their ministries they loosened up and began to share their innermost thoughts.
The priest confessed that he had a terrible time with his vow of celibacy and occasionally slipped off incognito to visit the burlesque house in a neighboring town.
The rabbi confessed that he had problems within his tradition as well – he LOVED bacon, and every so often would fry up a huge (and secret) plate of bacon and eggs.
The pastor remained silent for a long time. Finally when his buddies leaned on him to reveal his weakness he said, “Well, since you insist, I am going to tell you. I just love to gossip… and I can’t wait to get home!”
Yep, there’s a sermon here. Text: James 3:1-12. Words. They lift up and they tear down. They can be weaponized or heal. Let us never think, as the children’s rhyme goes, “they can’t hurt me.”
Lets’ share the practical, the inspirational, radically loving word /words of Jesus love this Sunday! (and everyday:)
In great anticipation,
