Life on the "Real Side"

Religion & Spirituality


Greets to all. Things are getting quite heavy in the wake of all the Coronavirus happenings throughout our country and the world. In the midst of it all however, God is still reminding us to BE the church, even in most of crisis and concern.  In today's sermon, we look to the Gospel of John, and, in particular, to how Jesus engages the world that circumferences a blind man deemed the consequence of sin. Christ turns it around, challenging the thoughts of blame, reminding the disciples that the work of Christ must go on, and the pressing us to remember that even in unsightly, unsavory, and unclean moments Christ's work must still be done. As we look to this scripture and lift up the theme, "Sins of a Virus" may we be encouraged to not commit these sins:  Sin of blaming the individuals most harmed instead of the systems and propagators of the system that cause harm Sin of stopping, pausing, and forgetting that the work of Christ must continue Sin of believing cleanliness is most important when it is exactly time like this that we are called to get dirty. Blessings, peace, and thanks for listening! Rev.
