Faith Lutheran Church

"In our baptisms we are joined with Christ in life and death and new life,
to follow and imitate his ways of truth and life,
of peace and justice for all.
We are called and set free in the washing of the water to be God’s people,
to be the image and being of God to our neighbors.

We are set free to serve in love."

Today's sermon:

Welcome & Baptismal Promises by Curiosity. Faith. Questions. Full of children noises because we actually had a baptism today, too!!Matthew 10:40-42

"It’s been making me think a bit this week
about how many of you, particularly- but not exclusively- women,
said last week during our sermon discussion that you don’t see yourselves as divine.
Completely new concept or idea,
rooted in what so many of us have grown up being told:
that God is divine, and humans are sinners.

Our own beings created in the image of divinity…
meh."

Our Spirit Divinity Curiosity. Faith. Questions. · Episode

"But I like what Nigerian-American writer, Enuma Okoro, says Paul is speaking to the human experience of seeking divinity,
and, by quoting their poetry, their literature, appeals to them personally.
He acknowledges their journey and what they have found;
then he shares his own spiritual journey,
believing that he has found something essential,
and that within that experience he is compelled to share it with others."

In the Greco-Roman world of the time,
and among specific Jewish groups,
holding all things in common is how they lived.

What would it be like for us to hold all things in common
so that each person got according to their need,
regardless of ability to “pay”?

We get a glimpse of these possibilities in our public libraries.
All those books! and other materials that we all have access to- for just a few dollars of tax money a year!
Sure, technically the materials are “property of” the library,
but they’re also held in common by the community.

Today's sermon:

Held in Common by Curiosity. Faith. Questions. Forgot to hit record before reading the gospel. But I didn't talk about it anyway. Read Acts 2:42-47.
