Sermon: The Work of Making Peace
Advent Sermon Series: A Clear Picture of Peace
Rev. Dale Flowers
Questions for Reflection
-
What is the relationship between the work of Jesus to bring Godâs peace to our world and the work we are called to â of making peace?
-
If peace is what Jesus has already made possible in our relationship with God and with one another, why is it necessary for us to have to work at making peace?
-
Dale suggests that the modern equivalent of the first century divide between Jews and Gentiles is the problem of racism between whites and blacks. What is the necessary work we must do to address this problem toward making peace become a reality?

Sermon: Hidden From Our Eyes
Advent Sermon Series: Proclaiming Godâs Peace
Rev. Dr. Kent Webber
Questions for Reflection
-
According to Jeremiah, some prophets promised, âPeace, peace,â trusting that God would be forever patient with the covenant people and would ignore their disobedience and unfaithfulness. How were they mistaken?
-
Luke alone among the four evangelists tells the story of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Jesus said, âIf you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.â In what ways might modern Christians need to open our eyes âto recognize the things that make for peace?â
-
The scriptural visitations described in todayâs readings were designed to be occasions when the repentant might receive Godâs grace and mercy and be reconciled to their loving Creator. How might the church, including our church family, need to repent and change direction in order to more faithfully serve the Triune God and experience Godâs peace?
-
A personal question (not for sharing aloud) - How do you as an individual need to repent?

Questions for Reflection
-
Do you think it is necessary when we proclaim the gospel of peace for our outer actions to reflect our inner sense of trust in Godâs peace? Why or why not?
-
In last weekâs and this weekâs sermon, the pastors emphasized that peace is communal. If peace is communal, why is it important for individuals to make a personal commitment to living in peace?
-
In the sermon, Pastor Emily said that spreading the gospel of peace doesnât require two people or parties to agree; one person can commit to doing loving actions unilaterally. What are your thoughts on this idea?

Questions for Reflection
-
Is the way Godâs kingly reign is described in this psalm typical of modern rulers in our world? If there is a difference, how would you define it?
-
If Godâs âsteadfast loveâ is a sure love that will not let Israel go, even when she proves unfaithful, how does Jesus reinforce Godâs undeserved love for us (Godâs grace) in his own life and teaching?
-
How have you experienced Godâs faithfulness, Godâs reliability, Godâs trust-worthy nature in your life of Christian discipleship?

Do you think praise is something we learn or come by naturally? If learned how do we learn it? If taught, what do you consider essential elements for teaching praise?
-
Describing the close of The Book of Psalms culminating in a crescendo of praise, commentator Eugene Peterson says, âall prayer, pursued far enough, becomes praise.â Do you agree? What keeps us from pursuing prayer far enough to become praise?

How is that proclamation both taught and demonstrated by Jesus Christ? How have you experienced Godâs âsteadfast loveâ in your own life?

### Sermon: Voicing Our Sorrows to God #### Fall Sermon Series: Praying the Psalms Rev. Dale Flowers
### Questions for Reflection * When we face a crisis, it is natural to question God, ourselves, and our relationship with God. The prayer of Psalm 6 seems to bypass such questions in its cry for help. From your own experience what do you find helpful about this approach to God and what might be lacking by such an approach? * Does sharing your feelings/emotions in prayer or with a trusted friend help you process your experience of pain, suffering or loss? How so? * In the midst of a threatening life situation, what serves to assure you that God is present, that God cares about you; and that God hears your prayer?

### Sermon: Our Bridge Back to God #### Fall Sermon Series: Praying the Psalms Rev. Emily Stockert
### Questions for Reflection * Why is it important to recognize that sin is deeper than a violation of a moral code? * The sermon refers to sin as a disruption in our relationship with God, and names two broad forms of sin. What are these two categories? How do these types of sin disrupt our relationship with God, individually and corporately? * How does praying a sincere prayer of confession reorient us to God and remind us of our hope in Jesus Christ?

### Sermon: Praying our Gratitude #### Fall Sermon Series: Praying the Psalms Rev. Dale Flowers
### Questions for Reflection * Using Walter Brueggemannâs description of The Psalms as expressing our life of faith in relationship to God as one of three movements: either being (a) securely oriented; (b) painfully disoriented; or (c) surprisingly reoriented; which movement best describes the psalms you are most drawn to at this time of your life? * The psalmist speaks of Godâs grace in the form of five related benefits: who forgives all your iniquity; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the Pit; who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy; who satisfies you with good as long as you live. Which benefit expresses the way you have experienced Godâs grace in your own life? * Psalms scholar Claus Westermann states: âonly those who praise do not forgetâŠ. The secret of praise is the power it has to connect us with GodâŠ. Forgetting God and turning away from God always begins when praise has been silenced.â How important is praise to your relationship with God?

### Sermon: Psalm 137: Bringing It All to God #### Fall Sermon Series: Praying the Psalms Rev. Emily Stockert
### Questions for Reflection * Pastor Emily says that we should not rush to judge the psalmist for voicing his or her thirst for vengeance, even though the words are upsetting. Instead, we should first understand the context and have compassion for the tragedy that has befallen the psalmist. Do you agree? Does hearing the context of the psalm change your understanding of the last three lines? Can you think of contemporary situations where, before taking time to understand the context, people rush to judge victims who voice their anger at their circumstances? * Pastor Emily says, âBringing the emotions that we are afraid of or ashamed of out of the dark corners of our hearts and into the light of God opens us up to forgiveness and the possibilities of a new way of life. When we bring our hurts before God, we avoid turning on one another, and we remain open to the hope of resurrection.â What does this statement mean to you? * Have you ever turned to the words of the psalms to help you in tough times?

### Sermon: Praying Our Gratitude for Godâs Good Creation #### Fall Sermon Series: Praying the Psalms Rev. Dr. Kent Webber
### Questions for Reflection * Although God does not intend us to worship the environment which surrounds us, what might its beauty lead us to wonder? * What sort of attitude does this psalm reflect as it carefully observes the results of Godâs creative work? When you look at creation, how do you see Godâs hand in the intricacy and beauty of what you observe? * If we are stewards of Godâs good creation as Scripture suggests, then when we damage Godâs good creation we also disrespect our Creator. How concretely might we show greater respect for the environment God has bestowed on us?

### Sermon: Trust the Lord at All Times #### Fall Sermon Series: Praying the Psalms Rev. Dale Flowers
### Questions for Reflection * Psalm 62 speaks of oneâs âsoul finding rest in Godâ and in the same way Jesus invites his followers to âcome to me . . . and you will find rest for your souls.â Have you experienced what it feels like to rest your soul in God? If so, how did prayer contribute to your finding such rest? * The psalmist compares trust in God with that of her so-called friends who have betrayed her trust and wounded her with their words and actions. Weâve all known the pain of misplaced trust in others. What are some reasons we might give for putting our trust in God? What are some reasons you may have heard others give for not trusting God? * Why do you think it takes humility and openness to trust God at all times?

### Questions for Reflection * Knowing the 30-day edict about not making petition or prayer to any human or god other than to the king, Daniel chose to continue with his daily practice of prayer. If he had chosen to do otherwise, would he have compromised his faith? What in your mind does it mean to compromise oneâs faith? * W. E. Orchard made this statement about prayer: *If your acts of prayer are the most regular thing in your life, ⊠you will find that they regulate everything else.* If you agree with this statement, how has it been true in your own life? If you would like it to be more true of your prayer practice, what steps might you take to make it so? * How would you describe prayers you verbalize to God when you are in the midst of a crisis? What, if anything, helps to reassure you that God hears your prayer?

Why is Nebuchadnezzarâs dream good news? * In general terms what did Jesus teaching about the future consummation of Godâs kingly reign? (i.e. the final coming of Godâs kingdom) How does Jesusâ teaching bring hope and encouragement as we look to the fulfillment of Godâs redemptive plan?

### Sermon: Daring Faith in a Time of Crisis #### Pre-Fall Sermon Series: Living At the Edge Rev. Dale Flowers
### Questions for Reflection * It is not the military might of Babylon, nor the training program of Nebuchadnezzar, nor vegetarian diet; nor the piety of Daniel and his friends, that is the central focus of this story, but the actions of God. What do you consider these actions to be? What is the authorâs intended result of pointing this out in the opening chapter of the Book of Daniel? * The refusal to eat the kingâs food is a statement of identity for Daniel and his friends, reinforcing who they are in a foreign land and alien culture. How does such an uncompromising act serve to reinforce their faith in God? * How does our current crisis of living through the Covid-19 pandemic, economic depression, and the persistent call for racial equity and justice affect our faith or trust in God? What helps you to persevere?

If not, what prevents this from happening?

### Questions for Reflection * During times of stress and upheaval, does turning to scripture help you to have hope? And/or do you have other ways of drawing strength from God? * How might a prophetic vision like Micahâs help us to orient ourselves to the way of the Lord and to walk in Jesus Christâs paths? * Micah envisioned peace âin the days to comeâ as everyone sitting under their own vine and fig tree with no one to make them afraid, and this vision can help us understand Godâs will for our world. What do you envision as a modern day equivalent to Micahâs vision?

### Sermon: The Worldwide Mission of All God's People Rev. Dr. Kent Webber
### Questions for Reflection * If Jonah disobeyed Godâs initial command to travel to Nineveh to deliver Godâs message to the Assyrians because of a combination of fear and hatred, what prevents you from sharing your faith in Christ with unchurched people you know? * Jonah thought the Assyrians in Nineveh didnât deserve to hear a message from God â even one of judgment. Who are those (individuals, groups, perhaps entire nations) you might label as âundeservingâ of learning about Godâs grace for us in Christ Jesus? * The story of Jonah (and many other biblical passages) tells us that we are not called simply for salvation, but also for service! That being the case, how have you responded to Christâs call to serve as his ambassador? How might God in Christ be calling you to respond this coming week?

### Sermon: Contentment in a Discontented World Rev. Dale Flowers
### Questions for Reflection * We in the West consider the pursuit of happiness as a basic human right. When that pursuit becomes solely a matter of desiring money or acquiring wealth in what ways might it lead to something wrong? * Would you say that you are at a stage in life in which you desire what you donât have and wish you did âor-- you are more content with what you do have? Whichever way you answer, what does contentment mean/look like for you? * Paul says, money (and wealth) is not the problem, but our attitude toward money is the determining factor. What are some ways money can be used for good? What are some specific examples of this either in your own life or that of others?

### Sermon: What Does Competence in Pastoral Ministry Look Like? ##### Sermon Series: How Essential is Church? ~ Themes from the Pastoral Letters Rev. Dr. Kent Webber
### Questions for Reflection * In terms of character, Paul advises Timothy, âset the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.â Of those five areas, with which do you most struggle as you seek to be an example of the Christian life to others? * In terms of function, Paul asks Timothy to devote himself to the public reading of Scripture and to engage in a ministry of proclamation, exhortation, and teaching. If you have ever felt called to be a Bible study leader then these words also apply to you. Whether or not you have served in a teaching ministry, what is your degree of openness to listening to and responding to the Christian gospel through those who preach and teach the Word? * When you hear a challenging word of exhortation or a comforting word of hope, how do you respond to and apply what you have heard?

### Sermon: What Has to Change? Rev. Dale Flowers
### Questions for Reflection * Robin Diangelo defines âwhite privilegeâ as the "automatic, taken-for-granted, advantage bestowed upon white people as a result of living in a society based on the premise of white as the human ideal." How is this value system antithetical to the gospel? * When you hear the word racist, what image or picture comes to mind? What is your own physical response to hearing the word? If you donât consider yourself a racist, on what basis do you make that claim? * Martin Luther King Jr., said, âIt may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people âŠ.â What are some practical ways we as a church might begin to make a difference to address this problem of racism?

### Sermon: Appropriate, Quiet, and Submissive? ##### Sermon Series: How Essential is Church? ~ Themes from the Pastoral Letters Rev. Emily Stockert
### Questions for Reflection * Does the study of the Bible play a role in your life? Do texts like 1 Timothy 2:8-15 influence your desire to study scripture (or even to go to church)? Why or why not? * Do you think the words of 1 Timothy 2:11 âLet a woman learn in silence with full submissionâ are consistent with the gospel accounts of Jesusâ life, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection? * In our current society, do you see evidence of Christians mixing secular cultural values with Christian scripture in ways that are counter to your understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ? On the other hand, are there ways that you think the church could use a strategy of accommodation to more effectively spread the gospel?

What are some of the ways you have provided leadership?

### Sermon: Being Godly in the Service of Others ##### Sermon Series: How Essential is Church? ~ Themes from the Pastoral Letters Rev. Dale Flowers
### Questions for Reflection * As Western Christians, we speak of salvation in personal and individualistic terms, yet Paulâs opening sentence in verse 11 offers a far wider scope of what God intends: For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. How does this description affect the way we see and address others who have no apparent interest in God or the church? * If the terms âGodlinessâ and âholinessâ in the Pastoral Letters refers more to observable behavior done for the betterment of others in the name of Jesus, than our own personal spirituality (or piety), then what are some of the best examples of âGodlinessâ you see in our world today? * If someone were to catch you doing what is good (i.e. being gracious and generous in the service of others) and ask why you do it, how would you answer them?

# Good Friday Worship Service ~ April 10, 2020 {:.text-center} ### Preparing to Engage in this Tenebrae Service > We recommend doing this worship service after sundown. You will need seven lighted candles placed about the room and either a snuffer or some means to extinguish the candles. There are seven sections with a three-fold pattern in each section: (1) Listen to the Scripture Reading; > (2) Respond by singing or praying as prompted; (3) Extinguish a candle. > > This service follows an early Christian observance called Tenebrae - Latin for "darkness or shadows." We are invited to reflect deeply on the events leading up to Jesusâ crucifixion and death. The service framework includes a gradual extinguishing of seven candles as we recount the sufferings and death of Jesus on our behalf and for our salvation. When the final candle is extinguished and we are left in total darkness, sit for a while in solemn stillness and silence before you transition away from the worship experience. > > Dramatic readings of the Gospel narrative are presented by Peter Schell. #### Prelude *The Walk to the Garden* - Frederick Delius John Pavik, *Piano* ----- #### The Darkness of Betrayal ##### The Gospel According to Matthew 26:20-25, John 13:30 #### Hymn: Go to Dark Gethsemane (vv. 1-3) John Pavik, *Piano* Cassie Carroll, Chris Studer, *Vocals* #### Extinguish First Candle ----- #### The Darkness of Desertion ##### The Gospel According to Matthew 26:30-35 #### Hymn: Ah, Holy Jesus John Pavik, *Piano* Jennie Warmack and Chris Studer, *Vocals* #### Extinguish Second Candle ----- #### The Darkness of Temptation ##### The Gospel According to Luke 22:39-46 #### Song: Brokenness Aside Chris Studer, *Piano* Penny Cleary and Chris Studer, *Vocals* #### Extinguish Third Candle ----- #### The Darkness of Accusation ##### The Gospel According to Mark 14:43, 53-65
