18April2021-SERMON-Touch and See

For this 3rd Sunday of Easter, from Luke 24:36b-48, Pastor Sylvia brings us this week's sermon, "Touch and See (You are witnesses). “

Teaser:

This is where we start. Why? Well, If we don’t start here, if we don’t watch that piece of fish being eaten, if we don’t grab hold, we won’t see. And if we don’t see, then we are likely to turn our message into one of only the hereafter, the sweet by and by and not the here and now. We’re might even be liable to think that all the Resurrected one cares about is getting souls into some spiritualized heaven somewhere else, instead of feeding those who are hungry for breakfast right here in our own neighborhoods. We’re liable to think that injustice here doesn’t matter because it will all be sorted out one day instead of advocating for the oppressed and working for justice in our own communities.

That command - “Take hold of me and see” is about wanting to live in the world that he lived in and bring hope to our reality every day.

It is about living the realm, the kin-dom of God right here and right now."
