Sermon: “What Have You to Do with Us, Jesus?” by Rev. James Reisner
In the first public act of his ministry, according to Mark, Jesus goes to the synagogue on the sabbath in Capernaum. There, an unclean spirit who is possessing a young man with epilepsy cries out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus?” In other words, "Leave me alone."
That’s a question that could, and should, be asked in any house of worship, but its corollary is perhaps more important: “Jesus, what do we have to with you?”
John Pavlovitz writes:
“The question at any given moment for we who claim faith, is not “Is God on my side?” The real questions are: “Am I for who God is for? Am I about what God is about? Am I loving in the way Jesus is loving? Am I erring on the side of goodness and justice and mercy?”
About Online Worship
We will gather by ZOOM (feed available starting about 10:45 AM). At the moment, Pastor Reisner and a few others broadcast from the church sanctuary while worshipers will be invited to sign on ZOOM.
Directions on how to connect and participate in virtual worship will be sent via a group.io e-mail. If you are unfamiliar with ZOOM we recommend you read up a little before the service. We will set an informal and experimental mood, ask forgiveness as we stumble along our way in a new medium. It will be fun.
