Speaker: Rachel Sensenig

Location: 1125 S. Broad St.

About Season: Our Lenten journey of solidarity with Jesus’ sufferings is set while he fasted in the wilderness for 40 days. As we take a look at a piece of that story each week, we’ll consider what we need to resist—external forces as well as internal dilemmas. As we walk with Jesus in his sufferings, we can be more conscious of him walking with us through ours.

About Talk: Because of the culture that raised us, everything can easily become a demand. Jesus was not super human. After his great trial in the desert, he rested. In Matthew 4:11 we see that he needed to be attended by angels to survive. We can follow Jesus in resisting the prevalent thought that we ought to be able to do whatever we want (thanks Beyonce). We are tempted to believe that our supply is infinite or if it isn’t that we are somehow deficient. We resist by taking rest back from the definition “whenever we aren’t working or responding to some other demand.” Rest on purpose was designed as sabbath by God. Let’s establish rhythms of work and rest that escape demand.

About Talk: When we don’t have an understand of the importance of rest and, we devalue labor too. Our spiritual life especially suffers. Not only because we need Sabbath, solitude, and silence for it, but we can develop an unhealthy relationship with holiness and working too hard. We answer the world’s demands and conflate them with God’s. Solitude and silence are crucial tools for experiencing God’s presence.

About Talk: On top of the mountain, Satan tempts Jesus, the once internally displaced AND refugee child, with a way to be a king that is very in line with all the kings who had gone before. The “glory” of the kingdoms of the world is what Jesus rejects. At the core of worldly kingdoms is violence. Jesus shows us another way that we can apply to our resistance to our worldly kings and their violence and in our relationships, where if we pay attention we will see we are a lot like the kingdoms of the world—lacking in imaginative ways to respond differently when our “borders” are transgressed.
