The Mountains Declare...
November 15, 2020
Today's sermon was given by Vicar Emmy Schreiber (a Vicar is an intern pastor!).
Mountains can preach quite a sermon as the present us with such majesty and beauty. Preaching on Micah 6, Vicar Emmy reflects on how mountains seem to offer us something our world lacks right now -- peace, calm and a chance for reflection. In Micah, the people have exchanged true worship - the dynamic combination of restful sabbath and humble service to the neighbor - which mechanical worship. They need the mountaintop time, the time of real renewal and re-creation. For only when we rest and find refuge in God can we seek to "do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God."
