"It's a Local Call"

Picture
A group of Pacific Telephone operators routing telephone calls, circa 1965, when there was still a big difference between local and long-distance calling

Special Note: In addition to this week's and next week's volunteers listed at the end of this email, please also scroll down to see the 2017 schedules for Communion Preparers and Communion Servers. These schedules will also be mailed out, but here's an advance copy.


In a time when there's no longer any distinction between local and long-distance telephone calls - a time when we're not sure that the person calling us is even in the same hemisphere as us - I realize that this Sunday's sermon title will date me a bit, as if the receding grey hair didn't do the job well enough. Ah well, it is what it is. I am old enough to remember, as a very little boy, my grandmother's party line, and making local calls by rotary-dialing just four digits; and even in college making sure I called home after 11pm, and even then for short durations, because long-distance calls were expensive, even during those discounted hours.

Our gospel text this week, Matthew 4:12-23, deals with calls of a different sort - calls that are, in a way, simultaneously "long-distance" and quite local: Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.” From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.

We in the Reformed/Presbyterian tradition have had a lot to say about this idea of God's calling us - most notably, that God calls us all in some way or another; that being called by God isn't something reserved for some supposed "priestly class" of clergy, or only those whose daily work is for the institution of the Church. We believe that we all have some "vocation" - literally, from the Latin, that we have been "called" - to something particular in our lives in service to God. Today, when we think of that word, we tend to think of it in a strictly secular sense, and only with regard to some particular subset of the full variety of things that people may do as daily work (for example, we tend to distinguish "vocations" from "professions," etc.). I think that's unfortunate on both counts. Both the scriptures, and certainly the theology that we've inherited from John Calvin, would say something very differently, and something that's quite relevant to us in our own daily lives. This may be even more relevant to us in the current social turmoil that we find ourselves experiencing in our country these days.

What do you think - do you see what you do to earn your daily bread as something inherent in, and important to, your life of faith as a follower of Christ? Yes, no, somewhere in between? And if you see your "job" in terms of it being related to your "vocation" from God, what does that mean? If you're locked into an awful job for whatever reason, does that mean that God is simply "calling" you to be locked in your miserable state? Or does it mean something else? And if it means something else, what do you think that might be?

John the Baptist, who shows up "offstage" in this Sunday's text, had a "vocation," was called by God, to some particular way of being God's servant. Similarly, Jesus called those first disciples to a particular  vocation, a particular way of being servants of God. Have you ever considered how God may be calling you? I invite you to think about that, in advance of this Sunday. Hope to see you then.

Grace and peace,
Dwain

Music This Week:
(please follow the links provided to hear these if you aren't familiar with them)
 
9:00

Gathering Song - Hymn #705 You Are Holy (Prince of Peace)

Opening Song - All to Us

Response - Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone

Sermon Song - 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)

Communion Song - Hymn #510 We Gather Here in Jesus’ Name (Come, Share the Lord)

Sending Song - Hymn #741 Guide My Feet


11:00

Prelude - O Day of Peace

Opening Hymn - #388 Come, All You People (Uyai Mose) - This simple but beautiful song, originating in Zimbabwe, began as a children's favorite and has become very popular with people of all ages and faith traditions. This Sunday, we'll sing through it several times - sometimes all of us, sometimes men & boys, sometimes women & girls, sometimes in English, and sometimes in Shona, its original language. 

Response - Hymn #625 O Lord My God (How Great Thou Art) - A classic traditional favorite in American churches - but did you know that it was originally a Swedish song, and was translated into German, andd then Russian, before making it into English. Hmm, I didn't know that, either. 

Anthem - With Our Voices Praising God

Sermon Hymn: #450 Be Thou My Vision - This much-beloved hymn is based on a traditional Irish folk tune. The Gory to God hymnal points out that the lyrics are taken from a 20th-century version of an ancient 10th-century Irish monastic prayer. So if you've ever wondered where the lyrics came from, now you know.

Response - Hymn #390 Praise, Praise, Praise the Lord - Another piece of global Christian music, this song of praise originated in Cameroon. Here's a link to a fun version of the song, being used as a processional for a choral group. We won't be doing the dance steps this Sunday, but if you feel led to step out in the aisle and do them, I don't suppose anyone would stop you.

Sending Hymn - #307 God of Grace, and God of Glory - This hymn was written in 1930, while the United States was in the throes of the Great Depression, by the Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, a strong proponent of the social gospel, a movement that recognized the plight of the poor and marginalized.

​Springdale News for Sunday, January 15th
Second Sunday after Epiphany
Race Relations Sunday

Picture

This Sunday, just in advance of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., many Presbyterian (and many other) churches recognize Dr. King and consider the broader issue of race and racial reconciliation in our society - and how the gospel speaks to these issues. This Sunday's sermon, titled "Where Are You Staying?" will examine race and racial reconciliation, in church and society. The sermon will be based on the gospel text for the day, John 1:29-42: 

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.” And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.” The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, “Look, here is the Lamb of God!”

The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed). He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).

Throughout the history of our faith, we Christians have struggled with any number of issues regarding change - particularly, issues that have required us to reassess theological positions that we've held as the norm, but which new or additional information has caused us to reconsider and revise our understandings. This continual testing and reassessment of the faith goes back to the very earliest days of the church. If you've got a moment, read Acts 15:1-29. The first of Jesus' followers were members of the Jewish faith, and after professing Jesus as Lord, continued to live in accordance with Jewish regulations and observances. However, as the church spread into the Gentile world, many questions arose regarding whether a Gentile believer in Jesus first had to become a Jew, and adopt Jewish practices; or whether the longstanding scriptural requirements for Jews - which until then, had also been requirements for followers of jesus - were not applicable to them. The church at Jerusalem met, and led by James, the brother of Jesus, the church reassessed its theological positions based on the leading of the Holy Spirit in the midst of new circumstances. 

Similar reassessment and adjustment has occurred over scientific issues - most notably, revising our beliefs to accept the scientific realities that the earth revolves around the sun, and the evolution of species, in the face of scriptural texts written in pre-scientific times which would indicate otherwise if read literally.

Certainly, in our country and in our churches, we've also had to go through this same sort of problem with regard to matters of race. Virtually every aspect of our national history has had a racial component. We all know that many in the past (and sadly, even some extremists in the present) have pointed to scripture and supposed Christian faith to try to justify separation of the races and the superiority of the white race over others. 

Many of these historical theological adjustments seem to be an "asked and answered," over-and-done-with thing that doesn't arise ever again. Others seem to be resolved, or at least partially resolved, only to crop up at other times, just in different forms, indicating the underlying problems and theological error still exists. Unfortunately, I think it's clear that issues of race fall into this category. We can't seem to fully grasp the beautiful words found in Paul's Letter to the Galatians, that "There is no longer Jew nor Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 5:28). Also, history teaches us that another constant found in past times where we've had to theologically reassess and revise - and this is certainly true regarding matters of race and racial justice and reconciliation - that those advocating the needed adjustment are seen as troublemakers, or outside agitators, or too pushy, expecting change too quickly, versus longer, more drawn-out change, or using tactics that don't seem acceptable or civil to those who are not part of the group being discriminated against.

Given that, and where we stand in this particular moment of history in terms of questions around race, how should we live as followers of Jesus, and proclaimers of God's good news for all people? What should we believe? What should we be doing? What should we not be doing? What happens when people advocate action that discomforts us? And just what does all this have to do with the day's gospel text, and how is this all going to come together in Sunday's sermon? I guess, to borrow Jesus' phrase, you'll just have to come and see. :)

Grace and peace,

Dwain

Gathering Song - Strong Tower

Opening Song - God Is Great

Sermon Song - Hymn #637 O Sing to the Lord

Communion Song - Hymn #505 The Trumpets Sound, the Angels Sing (The Feast is Ready)

Sending Song - Hymn #721 Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore


11:00

Prelude - Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service

Opening Hymn - #311 Here, O Lord, your Servants Gather - this gentle tune, composed by Tokuo Yamaguchi in Japan in 1958 and making its first appearance in the 1990 hymnal, is a beautiful reminder of the global nature of Christ's sovereignty and Lordship.

Sermon Hymn: #301 O Sing to the Lord - Another beautiful song appearing in both our 1990 hymnal and Glory to God, this Latino hymn originated in Brazil and was first translated into English in the 1980s and, like the Opening Hymn, gives witness to the reality of the equality of all races under the single Lordship of Christ. 

Sending Hymn - #339 Lift Every Voice and Sing - This hymn, along with We Shall Overcome, was heard often during the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Like the other hymns selected this Sunday, this selection was in both our past and current hymnal. Its text and tune has gained national recognition and appreciation not only within the African-American community, but also among all who seek liberation from oppression. If you aren't familiar with the song, please follow the link to hear an excellent rendition of it, set to a stirring video montage.
