Thin Spaces

You are welcome exactly as you are.

Thank you for the many words of encouragement you have shared with me about the sermon series on “forgiveness” I preached this past month. You are a great congregation to preach to – not just because you are kind to your preachers (most congregations are), but because you engage with the substance of the sermons you hear and share your own reflections freely. Thank you.

If you missed the fourth and final sermon of this series, you can watch it here. In this sermon, I make the case that in Jesus we can all find both the pardon and the power that we need to live as more forgiving and loving people.

This Sunday I’ll begin another four-week series, of sorts. But instead of preaching on a theme, I’ll be preaching my way through Paul’s letter to Philippians. This has been a foundational text for me, and has shaped my own ministry in countless ways. I look forward to sharing some of my experiences with you, and also sharing my “first impressions” of what I perceive you all to be doing in your ministry here in San Miguel de Allende.

We have heard readings already from Philippians the last two Sundays – including this past Sunday, when the reading from Philippians 2 included what scholars generally believe to be one of the earliest Christian hymns. Check your Bible – do you see how verses 6-11 in chapter 2 are indented on the page? (If they are not, they should be.) Paul was clearly quoting an early hymn that he thought at least some of the readers at the little church in Philippi would recognize. Perhaps you will recognize these famous verses, too?

Our celebrations this Sunday will also include observances of “World Communion Sunday,” a fitting tribute if ever there was one at a church like this, in a place like this, and for a time such as this. I hope to see you in worship!
