What a Load of...!: A Parable of Poop and Patience

October 7, 2021

I’ve been preaching for 15 years and I have never had so much fun coming up with a title for a sermon as I have this week. So here goes, the sermon title for this week is, “What a load of…!: A Parable of Poop and Patience.” Continuing with our theme, “Rooted in Love” we’re going to take a look at how to manage to great, steamy piles of (ahem) “fertilizer” that shows up in our lives from the Gospel according to Luke. Please join us live or online at 10 a.m.—Pastor Jennifer

Everything Changes
In our sermon series we are exploring how our brains were designed to be suspicious of change, and for good reason–homeostasis in good measure helps us thrive, protecting us from danger. But if we look closely at what the Creator set in motion, we find that change is the most constant part of life and necessary for animating our spirits as we find renewed purpose throughout life. Jesus advocated for changes that would keep us moving toward greater goodness!  “Everything Changes” John 12:20-26 In our scripture this week Jesus asks us to let go of life “as it is” in order to create and multiply the love that is eternal. What feels like the chaos, or recklessness, of change is the breaking-open of possibility and the sprouting of new life. This is what it means to follow the change-maker Jesus and serve his purpose of more love in the world. -Pastor Courtney
