We used local, state, and national guidance to recommend practices that are faithful to our commandment to love God and love neighbor even amidst the challenges of our time.

We are grateful that our church community remains committed to doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with God, even when discussions around COVID protocols in the wider community have become tense. Thanks be to God for the abundant grace of this congregation.

The Unnamed, V: The Witch of Endor

February 19, 2023

Smart, reasonable people can and will reach different conclusions about the consequences of historical events and God’s involvement in them. This is why some of you won’t agree with me that God’s word for today is a call to be like the Witch of Endor: Become an agent of God’s mercy in an unfair world. This text brings us up against the limits of our human intellect and points toward wisdom that lives on the margins and edges. Could it be that knowledge might one day be needed by the very people who, like Saul, banned it? Throughout history there have been people, many of them women like the medium at Endor, who possess a kind of wisdom or insight that puts them in conflict with the establishment.

Or the Roadrunner who is supposed to be prey is way shrewder than the Coyote who is supposed to be the predator. Or did you ever see that great film Django Unchained where Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington make fools of Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel Jackson? With these kinds of stories, the disenfranchised poke a finger in the eye of their oppressors with their infernal whips and chains.

God works in the world and in our lives. And God has a plan, a perfect plan to see us through. However we must see everything of God's perfect plan for us, no matter the circumstances or the situation. We must trust God and endeavor to hold on to the promise of God's plan to bring us to an expected end.
