We hope everyone had a joyous and festive Independence day! 🇺🇸
As we shift back into our weekly routines, take time to reflect on what it means to be a Patriotic member of the Jesus following movement.
•
The full quote from Dan’s sermon is below.
•
“Lastly, and I think Jesus followers in America need to really hear this. I know I do. You see, we love our liberty. It’s baked into our founding documents. It’s in our national anthem — we are the land of the free. The Ten Commandments are for free people. Freedom is not license to do as we darn well please. That’s not freedom at all. That’s licentiousness. Freedom is freedom within ethical parameters and norms. In the Jesus following tradition, the Ten Commandments provide the parameters and norms.”

“St. Francis was known as a nature lover. He saw

“St. Francis was known as a nature lover. He saw the hand of God in all creation. The hymn we know today as “All Creatures of our God and King” is from St. Francis’ writings entitled, “Canticles of the Sun.” It has been said to have been written a year before St. Francis’ death, on a hot summer day in 1225, while Francis was ill and suffering the loss of his eyesight. It was written as a love letter to God and God’s creation.”

“Our first hymn of summer we will take a closer

“Our first hymn of summer we will take a closer look at… , “Jesus Loves Me.”

Without a doubt the hymn that has influenced children for Christ more than any other is this simply stated one, written in 1860, by Anna Bartlett Warner.”

"Humanity is a rainbow. We come in a lot of colors

"Humanity is a rainbow. We come in a lot of colors and hues. We are not all alike. We are different in untold and perhaps even countless ways. But we are also similar in more ways that we might imagine. Theologically, the main similarity is that we are each created in the image of God. Our diversity is not something to be feared or exploited. It’s something to be celebrated, embraced.

One word that well describes God’s world is diversity. In Luke’s account of Pentecost in Jerusalem, he describes multiple reactions to the diversity present that day — bewilderment, amazement, astonishment. Fear was not one of the reactions."

“Sometimes thinking of others’ needs before ou

“Sometimes thinking of others’ needs before our own looks like raising our voices in cries for the voiceless. It looks like advocating for our children’s safety and right to an education, and hope to grow up. It looks like writing letters to our governing officials both locally and nationally. Because friends, if there is one thing I pray we all collectively can come together in unity on, no matter our backgrounds, it is the idea that we need to protect children.”

“Friends, sometimes, God works through us despit

“Friends, sometimes, God works through us despite our deep failures. God can work through us when we aren’t the best versions of ourselves. God works through us in ways far beyond our efforts, far beyond our imaginings, and in spite of us.”

“What if we shifted our model of church membersh

“What if we shifted our model of church membership to church partnership? I could no longer say I am a member of First Presbyterian Church. I would have to say that in Christ I am a partner with others in Christ at First Presbyterian Church who together do God’s justice and love God’s mercy and walk humbly with God.”

“I’m not sure what it’s going to take for us

“I’m not sure what it’s going to take for us to see all of our neighbors as people who were created by God, redeemed by God, and sustained by God — who bear God’s image. But it’s the place we will need to get to if there is to be hope for us.”
