SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, March 5, 2023

Dear Friends in Christ –

There’s a lovely parable by Soren Kierkegaard, 19th Century Danish philosopher and theologian. He tells a parable of the ducks:

“There is a town where only ducks live.

Every Sunday the ducks waddle out of their houses and waddle down the main street to their church.

They waddle into the cathedral and squat in their pews.

The duck choir sings and then the duck pastor comes and reads from the duck bible.

He encourages them, “Ducks, God has given you wings! With these wings you can fly! With these wings you can rise up and soar like eagles! No walls can confine you, no fences can hold you. You have wings and you can fly like birds!”

All the ducks quack “Amen!” And then they waddle home.”

This week God’s scripture reminds us that we must be doers of the word, not just hearers.

Men and women, we are created to soar on the breath of God! Invite your friends, someone whom you haven’t seen for a while. Experience God’s sanctifying word this Sunday!

And the people of God said…
