Squirrelly - The Rev. Jarrett Kerbel
In his sermon for the First Sunday in Lent, the Rev. Jarrett Kerbel wonders why we focus so strongly on stories like that of "the good squirrel and the naughty squirrel" that he grew up with. What do they really have to tell us about the God of love? He contends that they don't help us at all. Rather, we should focus on the promises that God makes to us over and over. Promises that we are beloved, that God will not destroy us, and that God will give everything, even Christ's life on the cross, to be in loving relationship with us.
Today's readings are:
Genesis 9:8-17
Mark 1:9-15
Psalm 25:1-9
Readings may be found on LectionaryPage.net for the First Sunday in Lent, Year B.
