Listening to Others
Listening to Others
March 8, 2020 (Lent 2)
Due to fears over Corona Virus, Pastor Rob introduces a new way for “Passing of the Peace.” It uses sign language for peace, which actually consists of two signs: “Become” and “Calm.” Pastor Rob then reflects on our broader theme of listening in Lent. “Becoming calm” is an essential part of listening to others and even listening to God. The last part of the sermon reflects on Abraham in Genesis 12:1-4. At first glance, it seems like Abraham has a direct connection to God; but further reflection shows how Abraham must, like us, struggle to follow and hear God in everyday life.
