  • Good Country People

    This moment in the hometown synagogue becomes an occasion for US to think about OUR ideas about a Savior. What DO we hope to be saved FROM? What DO we think is good and evil; "us and them"? What's wrong with the world that needs to be fixed? How DO we think a Savior would fix it? What DOES it mean to join Him AND are you sure that YOU have? Our kind of people, "Good Country People" (as Flannery O'Connor showed) are often NOT who we think they are:

    Let's look at:

    1. The Savior We WANT
    2. The Savior WE NEED (and GET)

    3. The Apprentice

      This is the Season of Epiphany so let's have one!

      1. WHAT child IS this?
      2. WHY include this odd incident?

      5. Relating in Exile

        How are relationships clarified by the Gospel? That's the focus of Peter's words in this compendium or summary of all OUR relationships… What does the Gospel say to exiled believers about our relating to God…to ourselves, to one another…and to the outside world? The UPWARD, the INWARD and the OUTWARD relationships.

      7. The One Shepherd

        This is a passage about leadership and the exercise of authority; it's about leading people and about our need to be directed and guided and how we can never really be free till we're lead and directed by a Shepherd. The points today are a little odd:

        1) Many Shepherds

        2) One Shepherd
        3) Many Shepherds

      10. Sacred Sons in the Secular City

        How can believers be grieved by and distinct from the injustice and selfishness in the world AND yet also be simultaneously beneficial and involved BOTH mourning AND thriving in Babylon.

        Today, we set the tone for living in this tension, this love/hate relationship. ONE text calls us to totally identify with Babylon and the OTHER is an expression of disgust and disdain for Babylon.

        So let 's look at:

        1. The Essential Tension of Exile
        2. Keys for Staying at the Center of the Tension

        3. The End? Havoc & Hope

          Last week the sermon was about death (the death of a king, Josiah) today the sermon is also about death – the death of a dream, of a nation, AND … IN this brutal and final death, a very vivid expression of Hope… havoc AND hope. Once again, the story in two parts #1 Havoc and #2 Hope and #3 Four truths about God from Kings and today's finale
