Dreams and Storms - Sermon from August 9, 2020

Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Sylvia Lee Mann for August 9, 2020.

This week , in our continued focus on compassion, connection and discipleship,  we take on the story of Jacob and his brothers - and consider Dreams and Dreamers - along with a slightly different take on the story of Peter walking on the water. Join us to check it all out!. Sermon "snippet": "...Dreamers sound naive at best and crazy at worst. Dreamers proclaim that the meek are blessed. Dreamers demand that the outcasts be welcomed. Dreamers beat plowshares into pruning hooks. The world is in need of dreamers. What are we willing to risk our lives in proclaiming the truth? What are we willing to risk to embrace the dreams of God?
Are we willing to encounter STORMS – as the disciples did? As Jesus did, walking across the water in this ever so frequently encountered Gospel story? As Peter did – are we willing to try, even fail, and reach out for help?"
