This Sunday RMC’s own Jordan Morehouse preached on the foundations of our faith. We often use scripture, tradition, and faith practices to justify all manner of evils against our neighbors. Jordan reminds us that we must be ready to change our actions and views when we see that time honored parts of our theology fail to show God’s love in its fullness. As we face uncomfortable inconsistencies in our politics, traditions, and theologies, it can be especially difficult to find God’s purpose amidst all of the fear and confusion of our current social, political, and economic environment. Today’s scripture and sermon instruct us to look to the life and words of Jesus to help us to interpret what parts of our faith need tearing down and what parts are a solid foundation to build upon, instead of clinging to what we have constructed that is not working to build God’s kingdom.
