Dear people Jesus is sharing power with us. No longer are we in a master/servant relationship where Jesus has power over us, but he has shared his power with us as friends. That is how Jesus loves us, by sharing his own power with us so that we can then love others as Jesus has loved us by sharing our own power with others. This sharing of power is a demonstration of love that gives us the ability to act together as one and to conquer the world wherever worldly power has distorted our relationships through racism, queerphobia, classism, or any other ism.
Sermon 5/17/20: In Defense of Hope (Pr. Ben Adams)
There’s no going back to the way things were, things will never be the same, but that doesn’t mean things will be worse. In many ways we have an opportunity to make things better, and by contributing to a better future for all people and not just some, we can be the change that creates a more hopeful future. With the Holy Spirit as our ever present advocate and defense, we can confidently and faithfully step into this future together with hope.
