God is not asking us to save the world. We had a

God is not asking us to save the world.

We had an excellent sermon yesterday by the Rev. Dr. Kevass J. Harding in which he implored us to ask the question, “What does God ask of us?” This “Sunday” question lingers as we face “Monday” and the day in which we celebrate the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

What God requires is to love God and love neighbor. In the context of our message yesterday, that looks like seeking justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.

We can mourn all that is broken in our world today. But we don’t need to get lost in the brokenness of the world today. We can feel our feelings, pray, study, listen, read, learn, ask questions, and sometimes change our minds and behaviors.

We also can ask today and every day: God, what do you require of me today?

God is not asking us to save the world today. God is asking us to do our work today and the time is always right to do what is right.

Thank you Jesus for Martin Luther King Jr. and for the example of Micah 6:8 that he embodied and how he inspires us to live into this reality. Let us honor him by letting his message last beyond this day and follow Jesus to do what is right.

If you are looking for a community to work out some of these questions, we have various book studies throughout the calendar year on race and justice called “Conversations @ the Hill.” Neal Whitlow is currently leading “I’m Still Here” by Austin Channing Brown Wednesday Nights at 7P.M. via Zoom. DM for more information.

Rev. Dr. Kevass J. Harding brings the word this morning. “What does God require?”

6 “With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
8 He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God? Thank you for this Good word Rev. Harding. #lovemercy #chapelhillwichita #humanrelationssunday

Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18 139:1 O LORD, you have search

Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18
139:1 O LORD, you have searched me and known me.

139:2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away.

139:3 You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

139:4 Even before a word is on my tongue, O LORD, you know it completely.

139:5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.

139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it.

139:13 For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

139:14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.

139:15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

139:16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed.

139:17 How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

139:18 I try to count them -- they are more than the sand; I come to the end -- I am still with you. #scripturesaturday #chapelhillwichita #liturgy

This is the storm, this is the storm The storm bef

This is the storm, this is the storm
The storm before the calm
This is the pain, the pain before the balm
This is the cold, the cold
It's the cold before the warm
These are the tears, the tears before the song
This is the dark
Sometimes all I see is this darkness
Well, can't you feel the darkness
This is the dark before the dawn
I'm just waiting for a change
Change
Lord, I'm waiting for the change
I had a dream that I was waking
At the burning edge of dawn
And I could see the fields of glory
I could hear the sower's song
I had a dream that I was waking
At the burning edge of dawn
And all that rain had washed me clean
All the sorrow was gone
I had a dream that I was waking
At the burning edge of dawn
And I could finally believe
The king had loved me all along
I had a dream that I was waking
At the burning edge of dawn
I saw the sower in the silver mist
And He was calling me home
Lyrics by Andrew Peterson

Certainly, one of the most quoted theologians at Chapel Hill is the Christian Philosopher, Dallas Willard. He said,

“The most important thing in your life is not what you do; it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity.”

We are at work as followers of Jesus. We believe in and follow the light even when, especially when, it feels most overwhelming. To practice becoming, to let the dark shape you to seek the light and learn the lessons here. It is part of our story. It is part of your story.

God, lead us through the darkness. Help us seek you at the burning edge of dawn. Not so that we can escape the dark but so that we can be enveloped by the light.

And most of all, let us believe that you have loved us all along.

Amen?
