How Might We Heal our Nation’s Divisions?
Today, we continue our worship series “Telling the Truth”. We live in a world that misleads us. From rage bait headlines to social media algorithms, we are presented with facades intended to engage us in a pervasive culture that draws us deeper into deceptions for someone else’s gain. As we start the new year, we’re going to risk telling the truth in church – lamenting, protesting, and complaining about what is wrong, yes, but doing so with hope that God has an alternative for us to pursue together. God’s desire is a greater good for us all. Let’s face the falsehoods around us, and seek to hear God’s alternative. The voices of hate and incivility are loud. If our nation is to survive and flourish, we must reclaim a common spirit – one that has been expressed throughout our history. Rev. Ron’s sermon is “How Might We Heal our Nation’s Divisions?” with scripture readings from 1 Corinthians 1:10, Philippians 2:1-5, and Psalm 19:1-4a.
