Sermon: Genesis 29:15-30
July 27th, 2008 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 CommentsI have posted my sermon for today on my sermon blog.
It’s based on Genesis 29:15-28 and entitled “Dare TO Ge Different!”.
Here’s a portion of it:
The poet Ann Weems wrote a poem entitled “Our Lord Is Called Hope.” She writes:
Our Lord was a Lord who turned
things upside down and inside out
a man who dined with sinners
a man who befriended prostitutes and tax collectors
a man who was called heretic
a man who broke the Sabbath rules
a man who changed water into wine.And he bids us o follow Him
to turn things upside down and inside out
to go where the hurting is
to change water into wine
to change who we are into the Kingdom of God.
Weems. Searching for Shalom p.66Go into the world.
Follow Christ.
Turn things upside down and inside out.
Go where the hurting is.
Change who we are into the people of God.Jacob experienced God’s love – and he dared to be different.
Our calling is to experience God’s love — thenDare to be loving
Dare to be caring
Dare to be different.
