Rev Bill

I have posted my sermon for tomorrow on my sermon blog.

It’s based pm Exodus 20:1-17 and John 2:13-22 and entitled: Get Right With God!

Here’s a portion of it:

Will Willimon — former Chaplain at Duke University and Dean of Duke Chapel – now a Bishop in the Methodist Church – tells of a dream he once had that he was walking up to the beautiful Duke Chapel and heard quite a commotion. When he got closer he observed that the beautiful $200 each hymn books – the $2,000 Pulpit Bible — the hand embroidered paraments and the immense Communion Table was all laying outside the chapel – all broken and crumpled.
As he rushed to see what was going on, he saw Jesus leave the chapel in a fit of anger – proclaiming that people were more important than things – and the chapel had needed to be cleaned out to make more room for Him.
How would Jesus judge us as a Church?
Would He say that we had our priorities in the right places – or that we needed to do some “cleaning” to make more room for Him?
How would Jesus judge you as a Christian?
Would He say you had your priorities in the right places – or that you needed some “cleaning” to make room for Him?
