PENTECOST 2 14TH JUNE 2020
WE GATHER IN GOD’S PRESENCE
Lighting the Candle
Jesus said, ‘I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness
but will have the light of life.’
Let us be mindful of each other as we engage in worship,
those who worship at home
and those who worship in the chapel:
Greeting:
The Lord be with you AND ALSO WITH YOU
We Focus on God Palm 116
I love the Lord, because he has heard
my voice and my supplications.
2 BECAUSE HE INCLINED HIS EAR TO ME,
THEREFORE I WILL CALL ON HIM AS LONG AS I LIVE.
3 The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I SUFFERED DISTRESS AND ANGUISH.
4 then I called on the name of the lord:
‘O lord, I pray, save my life!’
5 GRACIOUS IS THE LORD, AND RIGHTEOUS;
OUR GOD IS MERCIFUL.
6 The Lord protects the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 RETURN, O MY SOUL, TO YOUR REST,
FOR THE LORD HAS DEALT BOUNTIFULLY WITH YOU.
We Sing: TIS 142 GLORY BE TO GOD THE FATHER
Prayer
Gracious God,
as you called Abram and Sarai,
giving them new identities as Abraham and Sarah,
so you have called us
and through the gift of your Spirit are reshaping us;
as our Lord called the twelve to spread the Gospel
in word and deed,
so he has called us to live your love and mercy
as empowered by your Spirit;
as the risen and ascended Christ
confronted and redirected Saul the persecutor,
to become Paul the Apostle,
so may we encounter our Lord in our worship
and in the breaking of bread,
and thus be directed into ways of being
with acts of service
that bring glory to your name
and reap benefits for your kingdom;
therefore we pray as our Lord taught us to pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and forever. Amen
WE LISTEN FOR A WORD FROM GOD
I will commence a series THEMES FROM ROMANS today.
Hence the readings from Romans
will not usually correspond with the lectionary readings
as I progress through that letter,
starting today at its beginning.
Scripture
GENESIS 12:1-5; 21:1-7
GENESIS 12
12 Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Abram took his wife Sarai and his brother’s son Lot, and all the possessions that they had gathered, and the persons whom they had acquired in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan.
GENESIS 21
21 The Lord dealt with Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as he had promised. 2 Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the time of which God had spoken to him. 3 Abraham gave the name Isaac to his son whom Sarah bore him. 4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 Now Sarah said, ‘God has brought laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me.’ 7 And she said, ‘Who would ever have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.’
ROMANS 1:1-15
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, 3 the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be Son of God with power according to the spiritof holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name, 6 including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,
7 To all God’s beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the world. 9 For God, whom I serve with my spirit by announcing the gospelof his Son, is my witness that without ceasing I remember you always in my prayers, 10 asking that by God’s will I may somehow at last succeed in coming to you. 11 For I am longing to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 or rather so that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine. 13 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as I have among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish 15 —hence my eagerness to proclaim the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
In this is the Word of the Lord
WE HEAR AND REJOICE, O LORD
MATTHEW 9:35-10:1-5
35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; 38 therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.’
10 Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. 2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax-collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
This is the Gospel of our Lord PRAISE TO YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST
Prayer of Confession
Compassionate and Demanding God,
You come to us in love
which, whilst specific for each of us,
also includes all creation and humanity!
Compassionate and demanding Lord,
You come to us with commitment and faithfulness
calling each of us by name
even as you invite all and everyone!
Compassionate and demanding Spirit
You come within us as comforter and personal trainer,
gifting us and gracing us for your expectations of us
to unite all in your life and service.
We confess how little attention we heed to our calling, O Lord…
Lord have mercy LORD HAVE MERCY… pause
Christ have mercy CHRIST HAVE MERCY… pause
Lord have mercy LORD HAVE MERCY… pause
Declaration of Reconciliation
We are called to be saints,
to belong to Jesus Christ,
for the Lord has dealt bountifully with us;
Through Christ all has been forgiven us,
Therefore we say with joy in our hearts: THANKS BE TO GOD
Passing the Peace..
As we raise our hands in blessing to those seen and unseen…
The peace of the Lord be with you all AND ALSO WITH YOU.
We Sing: TIS 659 I THE LORD OF SEA AND SKY
Contemporary Word
AN OBEDIENT FAITH
We know most of the names listed by Matthew:
Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew;
James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
3 Philip and Bartholomew;
Thomas and Matthew the tax-collector;
James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot,
by which I mean we could name, after some thought all,
except most likely the ones between Matthew and Judas Iscariot.
These disciples would be known as the Apostles,
described thus here because of their role
in being commissioned and sent;
It is in Luke/Acts that Apostles is used
almost exclusively of the Twelve
as an honorific title,
with Jesus naming them such(Luke 6):
13 And when day came,
he called his disciples and chose twelve of them,
whom he also named apostles:
To maintain the number twelve,
Matthias was appointed after being chosen by lot,
replacing the disgraced and dead Judas
after the resurrection of Jesus (Acts 1)…
21 So one of the men who have accompanied us
during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John
until the day when he was taken up from us—
one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection.”
23 So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas,
who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.
24 Then they prayed and said,
“Lord, you know everyone’s heart.
Show us which one of these two you have chosen
25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship
from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”
26 And they cast lots for them,
and the lot fell on Matthias;
and he was added to the eleven apostles.
Paul claims the title Apostle for himself,
as we read in Romans 1:1 & 5.
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,
called to be an apostle,
set apart for the gospel of God…
Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship
to bring about the obedience of faith
among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name,
It is important to note that in doing so,
Paul shifts the necessary requirements listed by Peter.
Perhaps another way to think of that
is to think of God redirecting what constitutes an Apostle.
There are those commentators who think Peter
jumped the gun with his urging
for an immediate replacement for Judas Iscariot;
they argue perhaps Paul was to be the new twelfth!
Others point out the process of electing Matthias
included prayer and an appeal to the Lord to guide and direct.
More tellingly, Paul never shows any sense of this
in his dealings with the Twelve,
a term he uses to distinguish this Jerusalem leadership
from the other Apostles, including himself,
who would be called to mission
and lead the early Christian movement.
The best known of the new breed of Apostles is of course, Paul,
given a name change from Saul to Paul…
echoing Simon’s change to Peter.
It is Paul we focus on in the following weeks
in a collection of thoughts labelled
THEMES FROM ROMANS.
This Saul, we do well to recall,
first comes to our attention at the stoning of Stephen,
Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. And Saul approved of their killing him (Acts 7:58f).
He appeared then consumed with the sort of fundamentalist fanaticism
we associate with today’s violent religious extremists…
Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic and, yes, even Christian…
all have intense followers convinced their duty is to eliminate unbelievers,
who might well include fellow travellers within their faith.
As did Saul against the followers of Jesus,
still then a small but distinctive group within Judaism,
still meeting with fellow Jews in the synagogues and temple
as well as separately together:
That day a severe persecution began against the church in Jerusalem,
and all except the apostles
were scattered throughout the countryside of Judea and Samaria.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him.
3 But Saul was ravaging the church
by entering house after house;
dragging off both men and women,
he committed them to prison.
Once he ran out of easy to find victims in Jerusalem,
he sought to expand his legalized terror to Damascus:
Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters
to the synagogues at Damascus,
so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women,
he might bring them bound to Jerusalem… (Acts 9:1f)
The believers in Damascus awaited fearfully his arrival there,
for they knew his reputation, Ananias summed it up:
‘Lord, I have heard from many about this man,
how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem;
As Paul, the man himself would later confess (Galatians 1:11-17)
You have heard, no doubt, of my earlier life in Judaism.
I was violently persecuting the church of God
and was trying to destroy it.
We know of course what happened on the way to Damascus…
(Acts 9:1-19)
We do not know how much Saul was told by Ananias,
to whom the Lord had said when he told Ananias to meet up with Saul:
‘Go, for he is an instrument
whom I have chosen to bring my name before Gentiles and kings
and before the people of Israel;
16 I myself will show him how much he must suffer
for the sake of my name.
However, following his baptism, Saul wasted no time
nailing his newly found Christian colours to the mast!
and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying,
‘He is the Son of God.’
21 All who heard him were amazed and said,
‘Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem
among those who invoked this name?
And has he not come here for the purpose
of bringing them bound before the chief priests?’
We will never quite grasp, I am certain,
the incredible change of direction,
repentance, is the theological word,
Saul underwent within the chore of his being!
A new name, Paul, for a new direction!
No wonder he went into Arabia,
no doubt for reflection and recovery
and more importantly, one might assume,
further instruction through revelation…
though no length of time is provided…
Then he lived and began to witness in Damascus for three years;
the early church would say about Paul,
‘The one who formerly was persecuting us
is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy.’
Note though that the one called to be the Apostle to the gentiles
still appears to be mixing and witnessing within Jewish circles,
albeit in Damascus for at least three years,
after his indeterminate time in Arabia,
God seems to have more patience than we have!
Notice with Abram and Sarai,
to be renamed Abraham and Sarah,
comparing the Genesis texts,
Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran
and
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him
twenty-five years transpired before the promise made
was eventually fulfilled!…
The lockdown, though now being relaxed,
certainly had us slow down our pace of living!
A slower pace of life might well allow us to discern more clearly
to enjoy what we have!
and to discern what our Lord has in mind for us…
Notice also the name changes in today’s texts,
Abram to Abraham,
Sarai to Sarah,
Simon to Peter,
Saul to Paul,
each associated with a call to serve…
does any name come to mind
you would like to hear as a new name
to describe a new sense of yourself
with a call to serve in a specific way?
Paul describes his own sense of mission,
retrospectively, mind you, as:
to bring about the obedience of faith
among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name.
I say retrospectively because there is a general consensus
that Romans is one of the last letters Paul wrote…
at least the last which has been preserved for us;
written from Corinth in 57 AD…
from Corinth he went to Jerusalem,
and from there under guard,
to Rome… arriving there around 60 AD
and martyred perhaps in, or before, 64 AD.
The letter to the Romans has much theology,
with some grand themes!
We will explore these over the next few months…
Nevertheless, Paul did not set out to write a handbook in theology.
He wrote to a diverse congregation,
or maybe even a collection of congregations,
in the capital of the Roman Empire!
These included Jews and Gentiles,
Masters and slaves, male and female, Greek and barbarians…
He attempts to explain how God
is now inviting anyone and everyone into a Godly life!
Till the time of Jesus
God’s call was to a specific people,
the people of Abraham and Sarah!
It was a call initiated by compassion for all,
because through that specifically called people
the desire was that all the nations would be blessed.
Some scholars see a significance in that after the flood,
(an attempt to purify creation and humanity),
God decides to attempt transformation
through promising blessing!
God’s grace underpins God’s call to Abraham and his descendants,
and now God’s call to the non-Abrahamic peoples,
the Gentiles!
Paul writes to clarify his readers’
understanding of God’s uncompromising grace
so that no one group, even not one person,
may claim a special acceptance by God over the rest
because of race, Jew/Gentile,
status, master, mistress/slave
gender, male/female …
Our restored relationship with God
depends totally on God’s movement to us.
18 All this is from God,
who reconciled us to himself through Christ,
and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself,
not counting their trespasses against them,
and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.
20 So we are ambassadors for Christ,
since God is making his appeal through us;
we entreat you on behalf of Christ,
be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5)
Paul urges us to trust God implicitly in this!
This trust we understand as faith…
Over the centuries we have changed faith, i.e. trust,
into belief, i.e. basic principles of the faith,
and that stating them as convictions,
like a form of allegiance, a creed even,
makes one Christian.
Paul argues for the obedience of faith,
that is, action also, rather than merely a mindset!
This approach he names not only in the beginning,
but he concludes his letter with it! (15:17-19)
17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to boast of my work for God.
18 For I will not venture to speak of anything
except what Christ has accomplished through me
to win obedience from the Gentiles,
by word and deed,
19 by the power of signs and wonders,
by the power of the Spirit of God,
so that from Jerusalem and as far around as Illyricum
I have fully proclaimed the good news of Christ.
That, incidentally, is an impressive geographical achievement.
The Roman province of Illyricum stretched from the Drilon River
in modern Albania to Istria (Croatia) in the west
and to the Sava River (Bosnia and Herzegovina) in the North.
Salona (near modern Split in Croatia) functioned as its capital.
Paul, was not prepared to rest on any laurels,
many believe he wrote Romans also
to get the congregations on board for a missionary adventure
into the Iberian Peninsula, modern Spain and Portugal (15:24).
We began with Saul,
and finished with Paul,
a person transformed through an encounter with Christ
and sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit!
We began with an extremist
approving and participating in the death of Stephen,
having as his mission the hunting down for imprisonment
those who disagreed with him.
We finish with an enthusiast
who offers new life, the same new life Christ bestowed on him,
to the people within a huge section of his known world!
He models the obedience of faith
that faith in action,
which he proclaims as the good news of Jesus…
His epistle to the Romans
will open his mind and motivation to us,
and hopefully open us
to the will of God
the mind of Christ
and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Anyone sense a name change?

THE BREAKING OF BREAD
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship,
to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” Acts 2: 42
Let us pay attention to the apostles’ teaching,
through the Apostle Paul, recalling the words of Institution (1 Cor 11)
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you:
The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said,
“This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood;
do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
We remind ourselves again as we think on fellowship, community,
that as the creedal line ‘we believe in the Communion of Saints’ attests,
in God, we are all present to each other,
thousands and millions of communities of whatever size,
even isolated individuals,
across time and space,
celebrating Communion together,
entirely isolated from one another
yet joyfully proclaiming that all are joining together
with the faithful of every time and place and even the choirs of angels!
Let us be mindful of each other,
taking a moment to think about our congregation,
praying for each other…
then including other physically absent dear ones in this sacred time.
We Offer A prayer of Thanksgiving
The Lord be with you! AND ALSO WITH YOU
Lift up your hearts WE LIFT THEM TO THE LORD!
Let us give thanks to the Lord Our God
IT IS RIGHT TO GIVE OUR THANKS AND PRAISE
Creator God, Father of us all,
you created all things through the grace of your Word
and the wisdom of your Spirit.
In the depth of your love for the world,
you sent your only Son
to invite all to become children of God
that all might enjoy the new life in your Spirit.
Lord Jesus, Redeemer, as the obedient Son
you remained faithful to the will of the one God
even when rejected and crucified
by those you came to restore
within the Father’s embrace;
Following your resurrection,
you breathed on your disciples the Spirit
who would then empower them with divine fire,
so they would continue God’s invitation to all
to embrace your way, your truth and your life !
Holy Spirit, the other paraclete –
divine comforter, advocate and companion
participating in creation,
descending on Jesus at his baptism,
gifted to us through our own baptism
as a guarantee that the Father’s promise to us
and the Son’s redemption of us
will achieve the divine vision for us;
recreate us to enjoy our Godly service enabled by you.
Gladly we join with apostles and prophets,
with martyrs and saints,
those from times past, times present and times to come,
with angels and archangels,
with all the company of heaven,
in celebrating your work and in praising you forever,
exclaiming:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of grace and truth,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the One
who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Lord God there is no other besides you,
you come to us as Creator, Redeemer and Companion
to guide us towards achieving
the future you have for us,
which includes our sharing table with you,
and all humanity…
at your heavenly banquet;
to the glory of your name
and the benefit of the church of Christ Jesus
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, forever and ever, Amen
(Now is the time to uncover the bread and jug, with the cup/glass)
The Invitation (Rev.3:21)
Until that time,
it is Jesus who invites himself to sup with us here:
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
COME, LORD JESUS
The Bread
Taking,
We take the bread, and hold it
marvelling at how it reflects the bounty of a creation
designed to feed all,
of which Christ said, I am the bread of life…
Thanking, holding up the bread…
We pray:
We give you thanks, O God,
that in seeing this bread
we receive a reminder of how people all throughout your creation
hunger for sustenance of body, mind and spirit.
we praise you for he who is the bread of life,
who through the gifting of his own life unto death
offers us life abundant.
Breaking, as you break the bread ready to eat, say:
Jesus himself bore our sins in his body on the cross,
so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness;
My body, broken for you, Jesus said.
Do this for the remembrance of me…
Sharing and Eating: eat with remembrance
Jesus invites us: Take and eat
SILENCE
The Cup
Taking
We take the cup,
look at its contents,
marvelling at the way water transformed into wine
by our Lord
serves as a metaphor for the transformed life
offered through the gifted Spirit…
Thanking, holding up the cup…
We pray:
we give you thanks, O God
that in this fruit of the vine
we receive an insight into how abiding in the One
who names himself as the vine
results in blessings to be shared…
a life abundant.
Pouring… as you pour from the jug into the cup/glass, say
When Jesus was abused, he did not return abuse,
when he suffered, he did not threaten…
by his wounds, we have been healed;
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; Jesus said
do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me
Sharing and Drinking: Drink with remembrance
Jesus invites us: “Drink from it, all of you.
SILENCE
Prayers
Let us Pray:
Generous and welcoming God,
in Jesus Christ
you desire to embrace all.
Grant us of your own
generous Spirit
that we might speak
words of invitation
and practice actions of welcome
in a Spirit of hospitality
to bring all within your embrace.
May they and we enjoy feasting
at your table,
revelling in your gracious gift
of abundant life,
to the praise and glory of your name. AMEN
