NBRC Service 12/07/2008 - Respectful Ruth and Expectant Ed Take Communion
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
In the audio podcast of this Sunday service, the Scripture reading begins at 25:00 and the Sermon begins at 27:20.
Scripture: Luke 14:15-24
Sermon: Respectful Ruth and Expectant Ed Take Communion
Respectful Ruth and Expectant Ed are both taking Communion today in their respective RCA churches. Coincidentally both pastors preached on Communion—Ruth’s in a respectful, even traditional, sort of way, and Ed’s in an expectant, more forward-thinking manner. Ruth’s pastor focused, very respectfully, upon the Last Supper: what Jesus said and did on his way to the cross back then. Expectant Ed’s pastor focused, very expectantly, upon the Great Banquet symbolizing the heavenly wedding banquet after the marriage of Christ the groom to his bride, the church—i.e., God’s goal for the future.
Neither Ed nor Ruth are wrong in their approach to Communion, we just need more of Ed.

Scripture: Romans 8:18-30
Sermon: An Expectant Church Hopes
I am captivated this first Sunday of Advent with Paul’s phrase:
The whole creation has been groaning
Now I don’t know if its just me and my body stiffening with age, but I am hearing creation groaning louder lately. Literally. And by creation, I mean you and me along with God’s green earth. Do you hear that groan, too? I hear _____’s the ugh of:
Creation: glacier parts falling into the sea and, around us, the shortage of bees;
Economy: another major company, like Citibank, teeter on the brink;
Political: KKK recruitment up since the election of Obama;
NBRC hard working folk: being downsized or laid off after years of service;
NBRC: a tough budgetary year where we could drain our reserves completely;
NBRC otherwise healthy folk: awaiting the results of biopsies…
So my question is where do we find God’s hope in creation’s groanings?

What does the Holy Spirit use to move you to give thanks about NBRC? Is it:
The beautiful steeple, the celtic cross, or our warm colored sanctuary?
The friend that greeted you, or your family member who sits next to you?
The memories of a crying baby at a baptism, the crying widow at a funeral, or the choked up father of the bride at a wedding?
What does the Holy Spirit use to move you to give thanks about this church?…
