A Feast for All
| Speaker: The Rev. Joanna Leiserson
God's gift of abundant life is still out there on the
table for everyone who wants to be a guest at god's table. As Matthew put it,
good or bad. God's world is a world of abundance. In Moses time, God gave to
the Israelites the promise of abundance against the nightmare of Pharaoh's
world of scarcity.
The people wandered for 40 years
following that promise of abundance. Today, in many ways, we still live in
Pharaoh's nightmare of scarcity. We live our lives on the assumption that there's
not enough to go around, not enough time, not enough jobs, not enough respect,
not enough land.
It's a zero sum world. I win, you lose. You win, I lose.
On the one hand. For some people, the prospect of losing, of being
disrespected, of losing their status in society is unbearably threatening to
their very being. On the other hand, for those who have already lost, who are
oppressed, who are dispossessed, they can't see the way to abundance except by
fighting for it.
People who are threatened feel like they need to defend
themselves against their own extinction. So, there's fear. There's anger,
there's resentment, hatred, and violence. Jesus knew about violence. Of course,
the prince of peace lived and preached his lessons in a violent world in many
ways, a lot like ours today.

Boundless Love
| Speaker: The Rev. Joanna Leiserson
...probably like the Ninevites in the Jonah story, we were discriminating about which prophet to listen to. So, if somebody, say, Jonah, comes in straight from the San Francisco Bay, he has seaweed hanging from his hair, he has sand stuck to his skin, and he smells a little bit like whale spit, we usually didn't listen to him.
But the Ninevites listened to Jonah. And they all dressed in sackcloth as repentance for their wickedness. They dressed their cows and chickens, they dressed the doctors and cooks and teachers and children, and yes, even the politicians in sackcloth. So what's the story of Jonah really about? A lot of people think it's about a prophet who disobeys God.
You can't disobey God without suffering severe consequences, like Jonah did with his whale and being humiliated in front of the Ninevites and, and the comeuppance. But that's not the point. We all disobey God at some point, and we don't get swallowed by a whale and spit up in North Korea. So, the point is that Jonah was wrong.
That's the point. Jonah thought he was supposed to preach doom to a bad city, but that's not true. He was there to preach the opposite to bring God to a hurting city.
