Power to Mourn, Power to Give Ourselves Away

This sermon is a continuation of a series on power.

In a world of usurpers, where power is seized and control is taken, where everything can become a contest for “winner take all” – God’s power breaks into the world through loving our enemies, through forgiving.

In a world where alliances are valued so highly, that being “right” and being on “the right side” takes over people’s minds and divides the world into “us and them” – God brings the wall-breaking power of raw self-offering as we find in Jesus.

2 Samuel 18:5-9, 15, 31-33       Ephesians 4:25-5:2       John 6:35, 41-51
