00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:29.830
Good Morning.
6
00:01:29.830 --> 00:01:34.160
Welcome to the service of worship in Duke University Chapel.
7
00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:36.650
Remind you that at the conclusion of service
8
00:01:36.650 --> 00:01:40.170
the congregation at Duke Chapel invites you
9
00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:45.170
to a coffee fellowship hour downstairs in our lounge.
10
00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:49.630
Also, remind particularly you students,
11
00:01:49.630 --> 00:01:54.011
that Friday from 11 to two is our annual seminary day.
12
00:01:54.011 --> 00:01:56.970
Representatives from various seminaries will be here
13
00:01:56.970 --> 00:02:01.453
to talk with students about religious vocations.
14
00:02:02.630 --> 00:02:04.563
Now, let us stand for the greeting.
15
00:02:08.230 --> 00:02:11.131
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
16
00:02:11.131 --> 00:02:13.507
And also with you.
17
00:02:13.507 --> 00:02:16.747
The splendor of Christ shines upon us.
18
00:02:16.747 --> 00:02:18.247
Praise the Lord.
19
00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:23.182

(congregation singing)
29
00:07:00.821 --> 00:07:03.334
Would you please turn to page 890
30
00:07:03.334 --> 00:07:06.393
in your hymn book for the Confession of Faith.
31
00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:10.960 line:15%
In the midst of an unjust world we have been chosen
32
00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:15.820 line:15%
to bring light, comfort and healing to the oppressed.
33
00:07:15.820 --> 00:07:18.510 line:15%
But we have turned away from this mandate
34
00:07:18.510 --> 00:07:22.430 line:15%
and from those persons who seem unacceptable to us.
35
00:07:22.430 --> 00:07:25.606 line:15%
Often we ourselves cry out as a broken people
36
00:07:25.606 --> 00:07:29.950
unable to fulfill God's righteous intentions for us.
37
00:07:29.950 --> 00:07:33.143
Let us confess all that separates us from God.
38
00:07:34.530 --> 00:07:37.330
Most merciful God, we confess
39
00:07:37.330 --> 00:07:42.250
that we have sinned against you in thought, word and deed.
40
00:07:42.250 --> 00:07:46.770
By what we have done and by what we have left undone.
41
00:07:46.770 --> 00:07:49.950
We have not loved you with our whole heart.
42
00:07:49.950 --> 00:07:53.450
We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
43
00:07:53.450 --> 00:07:56.583
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
44
00:07:56.583 --> 00:07:59.900
For the sake of your son Jesus Christ
45
00:07:59.900 --> 00:08:03.280
have mercy on us and forgive us.
46
00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:05.630
That we may delight in your will
47
00:08:05.630 --> 00:08:09.710
and walk in your ways to the glory of your name.
48
00:08:09.710 --> 00:08:10.543
Amen.
49
00:08:13.630 --> 00:08:15.670
Light dawns.
50
00:08:15.670 --> 00:08:17.440
God reigns.
51
00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:20.140
Evil is overcome.
52
00:08:20.140 --> 00:08:24.220
God lifts us up, relieves our fears
53
00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:26.470
and strengthens us to stand against
54
00:08:26.470 --> 00:08:29.440
enemies without and within.
55
00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:33.440
In the name of Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
56
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.696
Let us claim the realm of heaven offered to all who repent
57
00:08:37.696 --> 00:08:40.620
and follow where Christ leads.
58
00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:41.880
Amen.
59
00:08:41.880 --> 00:08:42.823
You may be seated.
60
00:08:51.970 --> 00:08:55.143
Let us pray together the Prayer for Illumination.
61
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:59.490
Open our hearts and minds oh God
62
00:08:59.490 --> 00:09:03.016
by the power of your Holy Spirit, so that as the word
63
00:09:03.016 --> 00:09:06.656
is read and proclaimed, we may hear your message
64
00:09:06.656 --> 00:09:09.177
with joy this day.
65
00:09:09.177 --> 00:09:10.010
Amen.
66
00:09:11.973 --> 00:09:14.570
This reading is taken from the third chapter
67
00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:19.570
of the book of Jonah beginning with the first verse.
68
00:09:20.174 --> 00:09:23.733
The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,
69
00:09:23.733 --> 00:09:27.669
"Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city,
70
00:09:27.669 --> 00:09:31.320 line:15%
"and proclaim to it the message that I tell you."
71
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.000 line:15%
So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh,
72
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.883 line:15%
according to the word of the Lord.
73
00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:39.840 line:15%
Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city,
74
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.482 line:15%
a three days' walk across.
75
00:09:43.482 --> 00:09:47.450
Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's walk.
76
00:09:47.450 --> 00:09:50.910 line:15%
And he cried out, "Forty days more,
77
00:09:50.910 --> 00:09:53.177 line:15%
"and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"
78
00:09:54.140 --> 00:09:57.550 line:15%
And the people of Nineveh believed God;
79
00:09:57.550 --> 00:10:01.274 line:15%
they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great
80
00:10:01.274 --> 00:10:05.436 line:15%
and small, put on a sackcloth.
81
00:10:05.436 --> 00:10:07.550
This is the word of the Lord.
82
00:10:07.550 --> 00:10:09.100
Thanks be to God.
83
00:10:11.550 --> 00:10:13.820
This reading is from the first chapter
84
00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:16.950
of the Gospel according to Saint Matthew.
85
00:10:16.950 --> 00:10:19.173
Beginning with the 14th verse.
86
00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:24.560
Now after John was arrested Jesus came to Galilee
87
00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:28.857
proclaiming the good news of God and saying,
88
00:10:28.857 --> 00:10:32.777
"The time is fulfilled, the kingdom of God has come near,
89
00:10:32.777 --> 00:10:36.540
"repent and believe the good news."
90
00:10:37.848 --> 00:10:41.530
As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee he saw Simon
91
00:10:41.530 --> 00:10:45.440
and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea;
92
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.510
for they were fishermen.
93
00:10:47.510 --> 00:10:50.467
And Jesus said to them, "Follow me,
94
00:10:50.467 --> 00:10:53.820
"and I will make you fish for people."
95
00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:57.453
And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
96
00:10:58.760 --> 00:11:03.305
As he went a little further he saw James, son of Zebedee,
97
00:11:03.305 --> 00:11:06.300
and his brother John who were in their boat,
98
00:11:06.300 --> 00:11:08.210
mending their nets.
99
00:11:08.210 --> 00:11:10.650
Immediately he called to them
100
00:11:10.650 --> 00:11:13.030
and they left their father Zebedee in the boat
101
00:11:13.030 --> 00:11:16.123
with the hired me and followed him.
102
00:11:17.430 --> 00:11:20.013
This is the word of the Lord.
103
00:11:20.013 --> 00:11:21.713
Thanks be to God.
104
00:11:31.530 --> 00:11:36.437
The great German pastor Helmut Thielicke
105
00:11:37.479 --> 00:11:40.960
kept only one picture on his desk
106
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.700
in his study at Hamburg.
107
00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:47.340 line:15%
It was a photograph of a group
108
00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:52.143 line:15%
of rather grizzled looking men wearing white robes.
109
00:11:53.330 --> 00:11:56.893 line:15%
Wearing cardboard wings.
110
00:11:56.893 --> 00:11:59.690 line:15%
They were obviously participants in some sort
111
00:11:59.690 --> 00:12:02.901 line:15%
of Christmas pageant.
112
00:12:02.901 --> 00:12:05.330
When I asked why that was the one photograph
113
00:12:05.330 --> 00:12:09.378
he had on his desk, Thielicke explained
114
00:12:09.378 --> 00:12:14.347
that those tough looking men were all prisoners
115
00:12:15.540 --> 00:12:19.590
in the penitentiary where he was the chaplain
116
00:12:19.590 --> 00:12:22.150
in Germany for a number of years.
117
00:12:22.150 --> 00:12:24.150
They were all murderers and thieves.
118
00:12:24.150 --> 00:12:29.150
And they all had had their lives transformed by Christ.
119
00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:37.340
Those thugs and those white robes and wings,
120
00:12:38.474 --> 00:12:41.840
Thielicke said, were an ever present reminder
121
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.820
to him as a preacher, in the power of Christ.
122
00:12:47.770 --> 00:12:52.770
People to change.
123
00:12:52.994 --> 00:12:57.530
And a preacher should keep a picture like that
124
00:12:57.530 --> 00:13:00.940
in front of him and her in going about
125
00:13:00.940 --> 00:13:04.146
the task of preaching.
126
00:13:04.146 --> 00:13:06.540
Because a preacher is probably the last person
127
00:13:06.540 --> 00:13:11.091
in the world truly to believe that truth.
128
00:13:11.091 --> 00:13:14.040
Now I know that many of you believe
129
00:13:14.040 --> 00:13:15.790
that about the worst thing that could happen
130
00:13:15.790 --> 00:13:19.930
to a preacher is not to be heard;
131
00:13:19.930 --> 00:13:24.310
not to be listened to in a sermon.
132
00:13:24.310 --> 00:13:27.046
I work on these sermons, believe it or not.
133
00:13:27.046 --> 00:13:27.879
(congregation chuckling)
134
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:29.550
I don't sleep well on Saturdays.
135
00:13:29.550 --> 00:13:32.920
Routinely refuse invitation to keg parties.
136
00:13:32.920 --> 00:13:36.460
All because I want to be heard.
137
00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:40.610
I want to do everything in my power to communicate;
138
00:13:40.610 --> 00:13:41.490
to be listened to.
139
00:13:41.490 --> 00:13:44.166
To be heard.
140
00:13:44.166 --> 00:13:48.325
Or so I say.
141
00:13:48.325 --> 00:13:49.450
I'm preaching.
142
00:13:49.450 --> 00:13:51.550
I'm just pouring my heart out in a sermon.
143
00:13:51.550 --> 00:13:53.870
I look out there among you,
144
00:13:53.870 --> 00:13:56.886
someone is glancing at her watch.
145
00:13:56.886 --> 00:14:01.740
Someone else obviously going over next week's grocery list.
146
00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:04.050
There's someone down on the third pew from the right,
147
00:14:04.050 --> 00:14:08.100
his hand has inched ever so slowly down the pew
148
00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:11.110
toward this vision of sophomoric pulchritude
149
00:14:11.110 --> 00:14:12.293
seated next to him.
150
00:14:12.293 --> 00:14:16.073
You're not listening!
151
00:14:16.073 --> 00:14:18.480
And that, you would think, is about the worst thing
152
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.320
that could happen to somebody in the business
153
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:25.021
of communication and speaking.
154
00:14:25.021 --> 00:14:29.795
But no, there is something worse for a preacher
155
00:14:29.795 --> 00:14:33.593
than not to be heard.
156
00:14:33.593 --> 00:14:38.101
And that is to be heard.
157
00:14:38.101 --> 00:14:39.080
That's right!
158
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:40.050
To be heard.
159
00:14:40.050 --> 00:14:44.743
To be heard right down to the very depths of your being.
160
00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:49.330
And when I'm honest I must confess
161
00:14:49.330 --> 00:14:51.280
that there is something about me that takes a kind of
162
00:14:51.280 --> 00:14:56.202
comfort in the reassurance that you don't hear;
163
00:14:57.090 --> 00:14:58.707
That you cannot hear.
164
00:14:58.707 --> 00:15:02.740
And that even if you did hear, it probably wouldn't make
165
00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:06.730
any fundamental difference in your life.
166
00:15:06.730 --> 00:15:10.150
You wouldn't change.
167
00:15:10.150 --> 00:15:12.433
And I expect that I do this as a kind of
168
00:15:12.433 --> 00:15:16.220
mechanism of defense.
169
00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:20.170
Because the power to make a difference in peoples' lives,
170
00:15:20.170 --> 00:15:23.410
particularly the power to change their lives,
171
00:15:23.410 --> 00:15:28.410
is an awesome, frightening power.
172
00:15:28.510 --> 00:15:31.020
How many times have I urged people
173
00:15:31.020 --> 00:15:35.710
to do this or do that in a sermon?
174
00:15:35.710 --> 00:15:38.690
And yet I do so with a sense of nervousness now
175
00:15:38.690 --> 00:15:40.880
for I can't get out of my head the memory
176
00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:43.368
of a few years ago preaching a sermon
177
00:15:43.368 --> 00:15:46.960
urging people to be more truthful
178
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.970
in their dedication to Christ.
179
00:15:48.970 --> 00:15:53.436
That afternoon, three o'clock, got a phone call.
180
00:15:53.436 --> 00:15:55.822
Voice on the other end said that,
181
00:15:55.822 --> 00:15:59.250
"My wife and I came home, we had prayer."
182
00:15:59.250 --> 00:16:02.647
"After service today we decided to sell everything we have
183
00:16:02.647 --> 00:16:07.647
"and volunteer for mission work in South America."
184
00:16:08.050 --> 00:16:13.031
And I said, "I was just preaching."
185
00:16:13.031 --> 00:16:14.800
(congregation laughs)
186
00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:16.880
You only have 20 minutes to get this stuff out!
187
00:16:16.880 --> 00:16:21.880
You can't qualify everything sufficiently!
188
00:16:21.970 --> 00:16:22.890
See what I mean?
189
00:16:22.890 --> 00:16:25.585
If there's one thing worse than to be
190
00:16:25.585 --> 00:16:30.360
not to be heard, it is to be heard.
191
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:35.260
It's when you really hear.
192
00:16:36.460 --> 00:16:39.400
Take Jonah for instance.
193
00:16:39.400 --> 00:16:41.591
Today's first lesson.
194
00:16:41.591 --> 00:16:46.591
Bit of the story of history's most reluctant prophet, Jonah.
195
00:16:49.582 --> 00:16:51.990
A baptist preacher living in Des Moines
196
00:16:51.990 --> 00:16:56.990
is called by God to go preach to the Iraqis in Baghdad.
197
00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:00.570
And he is shocked!
198
00:17:00.570 --> 00:17:03.950
Jonah says, I, a bible believing person like me,
199
00:17:03.950 --> 00:17:07.860
I would never be over there with people like that.
200
00:17:07.860 --> 00:17:10.180
And yet the voice of God persists.
201
00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:12.826
It relentlessly persists through a chain
202
00:17:12.826 --> 00:17:16.500
of all sorts of wild events until finally,
203
00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:19.200
Jonah says, all right, all right, I'll go.
204
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:20.610
But it won't do any good.
205
00:17:20.610 --> 00:17:22.150
There's no point in my going over there.
206
00:17:22.150 --> 00:17:23.380
I'll go darn it!
207
00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:24.350
I'll go.
208
00:17:24.350 --> 00:17:29.350
And so he goes and he preaches in Baghdad.
209
00:17:29.520 --> 00:17:33.560
He preaches a short sermon with a very bad attitude.
210
00:17:33.560 --> 00:17:35.290
He gets finished.
211
00:17:35.290 --> 00:17:37.840
Closes the bible, says the benediction.
212
00:17:37.840 --> 00:17:41.580
Prepares to head for the bus and for home.
213
00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:43.810
But there is this stampede of people!
214
00:17:43.810 --> 00:17:45.130
They rush down!
215
00:17:45.130 --> 00:17:46.850
They throw their bodies down!
216
00:17:46.850 --> 00:17:49.010
They say they've been saved!
217
00:17:49.010 --> 00:17:51.230
They want to be, the say they've been born again!
218
00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:52.670
They all want to be baptized!
219
00:17:52.670 --> 00:17:54.580
All these hundreds of people!
220
00:17:54.580 --> 00:17:59.030
Everybody in the whole city of Nineveh repents!
221
00:17:59.030 --> 00:18:00.730
All the beings repent!
222
00:18:00.730 --> 00:18:02.510
In fact, this wasn't read in the scripture.
223
00:18:02.510 --> 00:18:03.860
You can check this out at home.
224
00:18:03.860 --> 00:18:06.996
But it says even the cattle repented!
225
00:18:06.996 --> 00:18:08.400
(congregation chuckles)
226
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.658
You ever seen a cow repent?
227
00:18:10.658 --> 00:18:14.050
(congregation laughing)
228
00:18:14.050 --> 00:18:16.046
It's a wondrous thing.
229
00:18:16.046 --> 00:18:18.990
(congregation laughing)
230
00:18:18.990 --> 00:18:20.640
Thomas Espies from Texas,
231
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.870
he can explain it to you later.
232
00:18:22.870 --> 00:18:24.380
(congregation laughing)
233
00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:29.354
Even the cattle repent!
234
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:35.625
And Jonah just hates it.
235
00:18:36.540 --> 00:18:41.540
He ends by saying, I'd rather die than live.
236
00:18:44.610 --> 00:18:49.586
I'd rather die than live in a world
237
00:18:50.602 --> 00:18:55.294
where God is so unpredictable.
238
00:18:56.670 --> 00:18:57.800
I don't want to live where
239
00:18:57.800 --> 00:19:00.930
there's a possibility of such newness!
240
00:19:00.930 --> 00:19:05.295
Such devastating change!
241
00:19:05.295 --> 00:19:09.650
Oh we, oh we say we want change.
242
00:19:09.650 --> 00:19:12.150
But we, like Jonah, are quite comfortable
243
00:19:12.150 --> 00:19:16.240
in a world where the status quo is fixed eternally.
244
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.648
And we are sure fixed in our mind exactly
245
00:19:19.648 --> 00:19:21.730
what God would do and would not do!
246
00:19:21.730 --> 00:19:22.720
Where God would go!
247
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:23.553
Where God wouldn't!
248
00:19:23.553 --> 00:19:25.000
What people could get saved.
249
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.665
And what couldn't.
250
00:19:26.665 --> 00:19:30.026
We like it that way.
251
00:19:30.026 --> 00:19:33.070
Oh we, we at times we will whine about
252
00:19:33.070 --> 00:19:37.937
the present state of affairs.
253
00:19:37.937 --> 00:19:42.930
But in our other moments we admit we're quit comfortable.
254
00:19:45.130 --> 00:19:48.805
In a world of fixedness.
255
00:19:48.805 --> 00:19:52.200
Nobody ever gets cured of alcoholism.
256
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:53.690
Amen!
257
00:19:53.690 --> 00:19:56.040
Some people are just born with certain
258
00:19:56.040 --> 00:19:57.780
social attitudes fixed in them
259
00:19:57.780 --> 00:20:00.740
deterministically through economic
260
00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:03.250
and social, cultural, class factors!
261
00:20:03.250 --> 00:20:04.830
Amen!
262
00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:09.830
You can't teach and old dog new tricks.
263
00:20:10.130 --> 00:20:11.930
I've seen this as a pastor.
264
00:20:11.930 --> 00:20:14.607
People will come for counseling and say,
265
00:20:14.607 --> 00:20:18.144
"I've got this big problem and I need you
266
00:20:18.144 --> 00:20:19.957
"to help me to think about doing something about it."
267
00:20:19.957 --> 00:20:21.370
"What can I do?"
268
00:20:21.370 --> 00:20:23.757
And I listen and I naively say,
269
00:20:23.757 --> 00:20:25.740
"Well, you can do this..."
270
00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:26.573
No, no!
271
00:20:26.573 --> 00:20:27.406
I couldn't do that!
272
00:20:27.406 --> 00:20:28.239
That would be ridiculous!
273
00:20:28.239 --> 00:20:29.072
That wouldn't work!
274
00:20:29.072 --> 00:20:31.770
I say then, "You maybe could try this..."
275
00:20:31.770 --> 00:20:32.603
No, no!
276
00:20:32.603 --> 00:20:34.030
That would require...
277
00:20:34.030 --> 00:20:36.796
No, no!
278
00:20:37.744 --> 00:20:39.420
A few years ago I was on a panel.
279
00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:44.420
And the panel was discussing racism in the church.
280
00:20:44.780 --> 00:20:46.410
And someone on the panel said
281
00:20:46.410 --> 00:20:49.520
that while racism was still a big problem,
282
00:20:49.520 --> 00:20:53.710
she was happy to note that it seemed to be less a problem
283
00:20:53.710 --> 00:20:58.710
than it was, say 20 years ago, in her own experience.
284
00:20:58.790 --> 00:21:00.677
That while there was still much to do,
285
00:21:00.677 --> 00:21:02.088
the good news was much progress
286
00:21:02.088 --> 00:21:05.870
had been made on our racial attitudes.
287
00:21:05.870 --> 00:21:09.500
Well, a couple members of the panel where just indignant!
288
00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:12.300
How dare you say that we're less racist today
289
00:21:12.300 --> 00:21:13.730
than we were 30 years ago!
290
00:21:13.730 --> 00:21:16.630
Racism is still as big a problem than it's ever been!
291
00:21:16.630 --> 00:21:17.470
It's terrible!
292
00:21:17.470 --> 00:21:19.070
What are you talking about?
293
00:21:19.070 --> 00:21:22.048
Nothing has changed!
294
00:21:22.048 --> 00:21:26.240
Later, some cynic said that the amount of racism
295
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.160
in any organization is in direct relationship
296
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.280
to the number of people who make a living
297
00:21:32.280 --> 00:21:37.086
finding racism in an organization.
298
00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:44.460
Change is threatening because it requires shifts of power.
299
00:21:44.630 --> 00:21:49.630
It requires realignments that can be painful.
300
00:21:52.840 --> 00:21:56.310
Few things are more frightening to people
301
00:21:56.310 --> 00:22:01.028
in the business of change than change.
302
00:22:02.515 --> 00:22:04.239
And so the philosopher Schopenhauer
303
00:22:04.239 --> 00:22:09.190
and his world, his will and idea
304
00:22:10.210 --> 00:22:12.547
sums it all up in saying
305
00:22:12.547 --> 00:22:17.547
everybody believes himself to be perfectly free.
306
00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:22.090
And thinks that in a moment he can commence another life.
307
00:22:22.090 --> 00:22:25.290
That he can become another person.
308
00:22:25.290 --> 00:22:29.772
But through experience he finds, to his astonishment,
309
00:22:29.772 --> 00:22:34.110
he is not free; his life is subjected to necessity.
310
00:22:34.110 --> 00:22:39.103
That in spite of all our resolutions, he does not change.
311
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.590
And that from the beginning of his life
312
00:22:42.590 --> 00:22:47.590
he must play the part which he has undertaken;
313
00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:52.721
play it to the very end.
314
00:22:56.292 --> 00:23:00.217
In today's gospel, Jesus calls people to repent.
315
00:23:00.217 --> 00:23:04.658
Which is a fancy biblical word for change.
316
00:23:04.658 --> 00:23:06.380
And then we're given a couple of examples.
317
00:23:06.380 --> 00:23:08.750
Couple of people fishing, going about their business.
318
00:23:08.750 --> 00:23:12.652
Jesus says, "Come follow me."
319
00:23:12.652 --> 00:23:15.900
And they follow.
320
00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:18.390
When Jesus comes calling us to be born again,
321
00:23:18.390 --> 00:23:22.552
to start fresh, let go, venture forth
322
00:23:22.552 --> 00:23:25.150
proclaiming that there's a power let loose
323
00:23:25.150 --> 00:23:27.976
in the world for new.
324
00:23:27.976 --> 00:23:32.976
That God is yet able to work wonder!
325
00:23:33.100 --> 00:23:37.835
I want you to note that he did not draw a big crowd.
326
00:23:39.790 --> 00:23:41.490
Maybe this is what faith is.
327
00:23:41.490 --> 00:23:44.252
Maybe faith is not swallowing every word
328
00:23:44.252 --> 00:23:47.543
of the bible without choking.
329
00:23:47.543 --> 00:23:52.209
But maybe faith
330
00:23:52.209 --> 00:23:56.942
is the adventurous relationship to a living God.
331
00:23:56.942 --> 00:23:59.450
A willingness to come to church on Sunday morning
332
00:23:59.450 --> 00:24:04.450
and be shocked by the intrusions of God's power
333
00:24:04.985 --> 00:24:07.952
to work wonder.
334
00:24:07.952 --> 00:24:11.770
Jonah thought that faith meant being fixed.
335
00:24:11.770 --> 00:24:14.470
To know for sure what God would do
336
00:24:14.470 --> 00:24:19.470
and wouldn't do and with whom God would do it.
337
00:24:20.270 --> 00:24:23.090
Faith for Jonah was to have everything figured out
338
00:24:23.090 --> 00:24:24.600
and certain and sure and fixed.
339
00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:28.876
And Jonah got surprised!
340
00:24:28.876 --> 00:24:33.876
And he hated God for it.
341
00:24:34.020 --> 00:24:35.560
I wonder in your life,
342
00:24:35.560 --> 00:24:39.410
I wonder in your life right now,
343
00:24:39.410 --> 00:24:44.410
where is that territory that is off limits to God?
344
00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:47.955
For Jonah it was Nineveh.
345
00:24:47.955 --> 00:24:52.823
What is that land where God will not venture for you?
346
00:24:54.260 --> 00:24:57.350
What are those issues upon which you
347
00:24:57.350 --> 00:25:02.350
have already made a settled arrangement?
348
00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:06.525
The final decision.
349
00:25:06.525 --> 00:25:09.990
Who are the people in your life on whom
350
00:25:09.990 --> 00:25:14.943
you've given up hope and closed the door?
351
00:25:16.130 --> 00:25:21.130
Having lost faith they'll ever change.
352
00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:24.580
Oh, keep assuring yourself people don't change!
353
00:25:24.580 --> 00:25:25.413
Amen!
354
00:25:25.413 --> 00:25:27.730
Keep telling yourself God is not able
355
00:25:27.730 --> 00:25:32.570
to work any new thing.
356
00:25:32.570 --> 00:25:34.270
And the warning of today is:
357
00:25:34.270 --> 00:25:39.136
You, like Jonah, may be in for a jolt.
358
00:25:42.010 --> 00:25:46.501
Now we're going to come to the Lord's table.
359
00:25:46.501 --> 00:25:49.730
And you know that for centuries a debate raged
360
00:25:49.730 --> 00:25:54.600
in the church about this bread and this wine.
361
00:25:54.600 --> 00:25:55.750
What happens?
362
00:25:55.750 --> 00:25:59.126
What happens here in this mystery?
363
00:25:59.126 --> 00:26:01.930
You know, there was some Christians who said
364
00:26:01.930 --> 00:26:05.210
what happens is called trans-substantiation.
365
00:26:05.210 --> 00:26:07.730
Though the bread continue to look like bread,
366
00:26:07.730 --> 00:26:10.200
that bread when the priest prays the prayer,
367
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:13.239
is miraculously transformed into the very
368
00:26:13.239 --> 00:26:17.985
the flesh of Christ.
369
00:26:17.985 --> 00:26:20.180
I don't know about that.
370
00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:23.590
I know that in Corinthians Paul tells the church
371
00:26:23.590 --> 00:26:26.870
at Corinth that there is a transformation
372
00:26:26.870 --> 00:26:30.403
that occurs when you commune.
373
00:26:30.403 --> 00:26:34.067
But it's not in the bread and the wine, it's in you.
374
00:26:34.067 --> 00:26:37.030
We, many though we are, become one
375
00:26:37.030 --> 00:26:40.170
'cause it's one loaf from which we partake.
376
00:26:40.170 --> 00:26:43.030
And St. Augustine told his congregation
377
00:26:43.030 --> 00:26:44.720
when you bring that bread and wine
378
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:46.710
and put it on the altar, that's you on the altar.
379
00:26:46.710 --> 00:26:50.750
That's you blessed and broken and handed out for the world!
380
00:26:50.750 --> 00:26:55.743
You become the body of Christ!
381
00:26:58.950 --> 00:27:01.700
Now this morning, I don't need you to believe
382
00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:04.620
that this wine is somehow miraculously
383
00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:09.125
transformed into blood.
384
00:27:09.125 --> 00:27:13.851
No, I need you to believe something even more wondrous.
385
00:27:17.450 --> 00:27:22.170
I need you to believe that you in partaking of this bread
386
00:27:22.170 --> 00:27:27.170
and wine can be transformed;
387
00:27:27.210 --> 00:27:31.441
trans-substantiated.
388
00:27:31.441 --> 00:27:32.410
Don't come down here.
389
00:27:32.410 --> 00:27:36.160
Don't hold out your empty hands.
390
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.930
Don't dare let this bread and wine settle
391
00:27:38.930 --> 00:27:43.930
deep into your being if you don't wanna risk change.
392
00:27:48.072 --> 00:27:50.320
(clears throat)
393
00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:53.400
There was this sophomore I knew
394
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.760
and she had her path here at Duke all mapped out.
395
00:27:57.760 --> 00:28:01.697
And next thing I knew she had taken a lurch to the left
396
00:28:01.697 --> 00:28:03.700
and she told me she was gonna spend her summer
397
00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:06.474
down in Atlanta working in a hospital
398
00:28:06.474 --> 00:28:11.474
for indigent men infected with AIDS.
399
00:28:11.570 --> 00:28:16.190
And she made this move that was what she was doing
400
00:28:16.190 --> 00:28:18.188
with her life.
401
00:28:18.188 --> 00:28:21.040
End of the year, one of the last Sundays of the school year,
402
00:28:21.040 --> 00:28:22.770
her mother had come over to visit her.
403
00:28:22.770 --> 00:28:25.737
I said to her mother, "I am so excited about your daughter!"
404
00:28:25.737 --> 00:28:27.297
"I just think what she's doing this summer
405
00:28:27.297 --> 00:28:30.470
"is just wonderful!"
406
00:28:30.470 --> 00:28:32.897
The mother said, "Do you?"
407
00:28:32.897 --> 00:28:33.730
"Yes!"
408
00:28:33.730 --> 00:28:35.366
"Yes!" "I just think that's just wonderful!"
409
00:28:35.366 --> 00:28:36.416
"What Christian witness!"
410
00:28:36.416 --> 00:28:38.257
"Go down there, work in inter-city Atlanta,
411
00:28:38.257 --> 00:28:40.240
"those men with AIDS."
412
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:41.847
The mother said, "Well how would you feel
413
00:28:41.847 --> 00:28:43.678
"if it were your daughter?"
414
00:28:43.678 --> 00:28:44.877
I said, "Oh, if it were my daughter,
415
00:28:44.877 --> 00:28:46.543
"I'd be of course terrified!"
416
00:28:46.543 --> 00:28:48.827
(congregation chuckles)
417
00:28:51.490 --> 00:28:56.486
I heard the mother say as she went on out of the chapel,
418
00:28:56.486 --> 00:28:59.086
"God I hate preachers!"
419
00:28:59.086 --> 00:29:03.419
(congregation laughing)
420
00:29:09.650 --> 00:29:11.518
The Lord be with you.
421
00:29:11.518 --> 00:29:13.200
And also with you.
422
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:14.183
Let us pray.
423
00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:24.920
God of mercy, we come before you humbled
424
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:28.700
and grateful that you have not abandoned us
425
00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:32.040
once and for all to our hardheartedness
426
00:29:32.040 --> 00:29:33.363
and stubbornness.
427
00:29:34.530 --> 00:29:38.100
Though we live in a world that is constantly changing,
428
00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:41.173
we are terrified of change.
429
00:29:42.690 --> 00:29:45.660
We long for things that are constant,
430
00:29:45.660 --> 00:29:48.283
controllable, dependable.
431
00:29:49.820 --> 00:29:53.680
Perhaps that's why we resist change so strongly.
432
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.833
Clinging to the status quo, however bad it might be.
433
00:29:59.830 --> 00:30:04.223
Relieve our fears that change is always for the worse.
434
00:30:05.380 --> 00:30:08.733
Lord in your mercy hear our prayer.
435
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:14.330
Lord we don't seek change for the sake of change
436
00:30:14.330 --> 00:30:16.910
but openness to your power to change
437
00:30:16.910 --> 00:30:20.703
and transform us into disciples of Christ.
438
00:30:21.900 --> 00:30:25.020
When we acknowledge our own inability to change
439
00:30:25.020 --> 00:30:28.150
even the most simple things about ourselves:
440
00:30:28.150 --> 00:30:30.943
our weight, our work habits, our tempers,
441
00:30:32.390 --> 00:30:37.363
we're tempted to doubt your ability to make us holy anew.
442
00:30:38.840 --> 00:30:41.800
And when we look at the problems in our world
443
00:30:41.800 --> 00:30:44.410
we are overwhelmed by their magnitude
444
00:30:45.410 --> 00:30:48.340
and tempted to despair that anyone,
445
00:30:48.340 --> 00:30:51.423
even you, can really make a difference.
446
00:30:53.070 --> 00:30:58.070
Forgive us for our unbelief and help us to trust your power
447
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:02.083
to change us and even the world we live in.
448
00:31:02.970 --> 00:31:06.443
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
449
00:31:08.370 --> 00:31:12.620
Transform us into loving disciples of Jesus Christ
450
00:31:12.620 --> 00:31:16.380
so that we might become instruments of your change
451
00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:19.720
rather than resistors to your transforming presence
452
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:20.603
in the world.
453
00:31:22.030 --> 00:31:24.263
Teach us to love as you love.
454
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:29.338
Show each of us ways that we might offer compassion
455
00:31:29.338 --> 00:31:30.810
and kindness.
456
00:31:30.810 --> 00:31:33.938
Mold us into reflections of Christ.
457
00:31:33.938 --> 00:31:37.823
And build us into communities that reflect your glory.
458
00:31:38.870 --> 00:31:42.413
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
459
00:31:43.722 --> 00:31:47.260
You have said that when we care for those you love,
460
00:31:47.260 --> 00:31:49.693
we reveal our love for you.
461
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:53.440
We pray that our lives may be expressions
462
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:56.493
of love manifested in service to others.
463
00:31:57.670 --> 00:31:59.570
We pray especially for those
464
00:31:59.570 --> 00:32:02.650
who mourn the loss of loved ones.
465
00:32:02.650 --> 00:32:06.233
That they may experience comfort in the midst of grief.
466
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.923
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
467
00:32:12.826 --> 00:32:14.580
We pray for those that are unemployed,
468
00:32:14.580 --> 00:32:16.660
that they may be find meaningful work
469
00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:20.490
and a means to support themselves and their families.
470
00:32:20.490 --> 00:32:23.733
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
471
00:32:25.570 --> 00:32:27.530
We pray for those who are confused
472
00:32:27.530 --> 00:32:30.400
or struggling with an important decision,
473
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:33.623
that they may find guidance and direction in you.
474
00:32:34.490 --> 00:32:37.723
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
475
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:42.080
We are mindful of those who are ill
476
00:32:42.080 --> 00:32:45.790
and pray that they may be healed and know your wholeness
477
00:32:45.790 --> 00:32:48.470
even in the midst of brokenness.
478
00:32:48.470 --> 00:32:52.003
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
479
00:32:52.950 --> 00:32:55.730
We pray for those who live with violence,
480
00:32:55.730 --> 00:32:57.483
that they may know peace.
481
00:32:58.360 --> 00:33:01.773
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
482
00:33:03.190 --> 00:33:06.150
And we pray for those who are in despair,
483
00:33:06.150 --> 00:33:08.610
that they may find the way that you open
484
00:33:08.610 --> 00:33:11.940
to those who seek you and that they may know
485
00:33:11.940 --> 00:33:14.940
the hope of your transformation.
486
00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:18.043
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
487
00:33:19.560 --> 00:33:22.900
We are grateful for the many ways you care for us
488
00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:25.010
and for your power to transform us
489
00:33:25.010 --> 00:33:28.340
into more than we ever thought we could be.
490
00:33:28.340 --> 00:33:31.930
Guide us in our public and private lives,
491
00:33:31.930 --> 00:33:35.150
that we might reflect the love that we've received
492
00:33:36.154 --> 00:33:39.530
and become the body of Christ given for the world.
493
00:33:39.530 --> 00:33:41.773
In the name of Christ, amen.
494
00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:49.510
As a community who shares the love and power of Christ,
495
00:33:49.510 --> 00:33:52.820
let us offer one another signs of love and peace.
496
00:33:52.820 --> 00:33:53.653
Please stand.
497
00:33:59.381 --> 00:34:02.798
(congregation murmuring)
498
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:18.310
You may be seated.
499
00:34:25.450 --> 00:34:28.430
God has abundantly blessed us and called us to be
500
00:34:28.430 --> 00:34:30.970
a community that blesses others.
501
00:34:30.970 --> 00:34:33.630
Let us rejoice now in what we have been given
502
00:34:33.630 --> 00:34:36.103
and what is ours to share.

The Lord be with you.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
534
00:42:05.224 --> 00:42:08.590
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
535

It is a right and a good and joyful thing

always and everywhere to give thanks to you
537
00:42:13.930 --> 00:42:17.253
Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
538
00:42:18.130 --> 00:42:20.570
You are the one who sent the prophets of old
539
00:42:20.570 --> 00:42:22.853
to speak words of truth to us.
540
00:42:22.853 --> 00:42:26.580
To show us the way towards light.
541
00:42:26.580 --> 00:42:28.960

And when the supper was over he took the cup,
565
00:44:11.970 --> 00:44:15.387
gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples and said,
