Sermon Audio (1/26/14): Our Rhythms — Service
January 27th, 2014 | John Chandler
This Sunday, John Chandler tied up three weeks exploring our Rhythms as we talked about Service. We considered how we would like to be known outside of our church community, and how we could become a church FOR North Central Austin.
Here are a few of the resources and quotes that were mentioned:
- Radical Love Gets a Holiday — an article about MLK by Sarah Vowell in the New York Times
- Local Church Full Of Brainwashed Idiots Feeds Town’s Poor Every Week — The Onion
- “The practice of stability, then, is an exercise in putting down roots. A good tree bears good fruit, we know, and the fruit of the Spirit begins with love. But we are product-oriented people, eager to skip over the process and enjoy the apple without attending to the soil and sun and roots that help it grow. All of us would love to be more loving, but we spend precious little time establishing roots of love.” — Jonathan Wilson Hartgrove in The Wisdom of Stability
- “The question which has to be put to every local congregation is the question whether it is a credible sign of God’s reign in justice and mercy over the whole of life, whether it is an open fellowship whose concerns are as wide as the concerns of humanity, whether it cares for its neighbors in a way which reflect and springs out of God’s care for them, whether its common life is recognizable as a foretaste of blessing which God intends for the whole human family.” — Lesslie Newbigin
- Call the Midwife
