Comment on Proper 9C / Ordinary 14C / 6th Sunday After Pentecost by Greg

Ah, the longing for the spectacular, the aversion to the ordinary…
“If, instead of waiting for stones to be changed to bread, we share the food we have; if, rather than waiting for the fantasy job or lover, we engage the people and work of our lives; if, rather than waiting for rescue, we lay down our lives for our friends, then we depart the world of deadly illusion for a living reality.” – Norah Gallagher in Practicing Resurrection

[...] Trinity Sunday is Coming Posted on May 24, 2010 by Christine Sine Next Sunday is Trinity Sunday a celebration that is not well known in the Protestant side of the church in spite of the fact that what this day celebrates is a doctrine at the very centre of our faith – our belief in the Triune nature of God. The theme this week is clear – the nature of God as Triune. This “difficult” doctrine of the Church is a tough one to address in a sermon or in worship, which tempts us either to treat it as an academic exercise, or to skip over it completely. However, the very mystery of this doctrine – and of the texts that are wrapped around it this week – provide a wonderful array of options. There is the opportunity to acknowledge again the limitations of our language and thinking about God, and to embrace God’s glorious, infinite mystery. There is the chance to recognise how God has chosen to reveal God’s self to humanity in flesh and Spirit, and how Jesus and the Spirit really do show us what God is like. There is also the chance to recognise the work of all three Persons in the life of every woman and man. There is also the opportunity to explore God’s nature as community, as Love, as relationship, and what this means for us. Ultimately, though it is wise to bear in mind Richard Rohr’s words: “Trinity leads you into the world of mystery and humility where you can not understand, you can only experience.” And perhaps the heart of that experience is ‘mutuality’ – of God within God, and, miraculously, of God with humanity.

Hi John,

Once again thanks for the ideas.

There is a great video at http://www.tangle.com/view_video?viewkey=ee73e63418003b47d7d5 on temptation. Ideally this should be done as a “skit” live by a group but you get the idea from the video.

I wish I had a drama team to do this at our church.

Grace & Peace.
Steven

Just wanted to say how much I get from your service resources, I am a Methodist Local Preacher in West Lancashire, England and now start my service preparation with your website. I love your language and the music you offer is often very moving I have used it in one or two of my services. The prayers are really good, I always think that to write meaningful prayers is a gift as is music and I only use those that touch my heart in the hope that they will reach out to those I lead in worship. Many thanks and may God continue to bless you in your ministry.
