Sermon Preview:
“Something New: Permission to Experiment” by Rev. Jim Reisner
“I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”
- Isaiah 43:19
The church is as good at resisting change as any institution. Christians who want to stay set in their old ways will often quote scripture: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). “God’s Word doesn’t change so we shouldn’t either.” What they fail to see is that in scripture God is always changing, always on the move, always adapting to circumstances. And when God does something new in scripture, God’s favorite tool in the toolbox is forgiveness. Old wounds and grudges are erased, and God once again “makes all things new.”
Every day I am afraid
That he died in vain
Because he is buried in our churches
Because we have betrayed his revelation
In our obedience to authority
And our fear of itI believe in Jesus Christ
Who rises again and again in our lives
So that we will be free
From prejudice and arrogance
From fear and hate
And carry on his revelation
And make way for his kingdom-- Dorothee Soelle

About Online Worship
We will gather by ZOOM (feed available starting about 9:45 AM).
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.
