PREACH, TEACH OR 'TREACH'?

The 'Sunday Sermon' is a tradition that has been at the centre of Christian worship services since the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church and has remained with us throughout virtually all forms of the church that have evolved since.

We are so used to presenting 'the sermon' as preachers, or listening (or perhaps sleeping!) through it as a congregation, that we accept the sermon as being the right and proper way to do things. But is it? Is it even Biblical? Or is it just tradition?

To be honest, I have 'slept' or 'day-dreamed' my way through more than my fare share of sermons over the years! Sleeping with ones eyes open is an art! Letting ones thoughts wander, while giving the appearance of attention, is even easier to do!

When asked, even 1 hour after the conclusion of a sermon, for an outline of what was said, I guarantee that 90% of people would not be able to answer accurately.

Why is it then, that our preaching, into which millions, probably billions, of hours has been invested, both in preparation and listening, has been so ineffective in bringing the world into the church and developing believers into maturity in Christ?

What did Jesus do? For He was the communicator par excellence. Did He preach in the same way we do? Of course, we don't know exactly, but we can get some idea from the Gospels.

We all start with the 'Sermon on the Mount'. Surely the best - perhaps only - detailed, real example we have of Jesus preaching. Or is it?

5 Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them, saying:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth............ (Matthew 5:1-12)

First thing we notice is, in spite of the crowds, Jesus didn't stand on a podium, didn't shout out in a loud voice to the people, but sat down and let his disciples come to Him, where He 'taught' them, on a more personal basis.

In the Synagogues, when teaching, the Rabbis would sit on a chair which gave them authority when sharing with the people. Hence today we have a university 'Chair of .....'. Teaching traditionally involved interaction as we can see in the following when, even as a boy, Jesus was able to question the teachers in the Temple......

46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. (Luke 2:46-7)

This was natural in those days. But imagine a 12 year old interrupting today's preacher in full flight, with an awkward question!

In the Synagogue Saturday worship service the Scriptures were read sitting down, but prayers and a (very short!) sermon were given standing up. When Jesus first pleased and then offended the people of Nazareth by proclaiming He fulfilled the Scriptures.....

16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21 and he began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked. 23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’” 24 “I tell you the truth,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown. 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.” 28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way. (Luke 4:16-30)

..... He was standing up.

This discussion has nothing to do with 'religious' standing or sitting, but the reality of the interaction and response between all those attending. Including attempted stoning! Can you imagine Jesus preaching this 5 minute sermon in church today? The congregation would say, "That is nice - a very short sermon today", then go home and enjoy Sunday lunch!

Neither did Paul preach in the way we do today. Of course, at least once, one of his listeners went to sleep during an all night session! A precursor of today - without the resurrection! LOL!

However, seriously, Paul reasoned, he interacted with his listeners.

2 As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, (Acts 17:2)
4 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. (Acts 17:4)
19 They arrived at Ephesus, where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. (Acts 18:19)
8 Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. (Acts 19:8)

Space has got away from me. I don't want you to fall asleep, so will continue this discussion next week!

I simply pray that we will put aside fixed mindsets and be prepared to consider things in a different way. Please, no stonings this week! I have only just recovered from a vicious home invasion beating!

FROM THE WORD

The Beatitudes

"Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matthew 5:1-12)

The Boy Jesus at the Temple

"Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom. After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” But they did not understand what he was saying to them. Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." (Luke 2:41-52)

Paul in Ephesus

"While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied. Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all. Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord. God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them." (Acts 19:1-12)

DAVID'S DOODLINGS

TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE

434. Knowledge is subject to change, while truth stands firm.

435. Man seeks truth. God is truth. Shouldn’t then, man seek truth through God?

436. The one who claims to have all the answers cannot have been asked all the questions.

437. Truth is perceived through our ‘life filters.’ Unfortunately no two filters are the same!

438. The greater the truth revealed, the more room for human error to be concealed.

439. Since God is the sole source of absolute truth, shouldn’t we seek the mind of God?

440. The more of God in us, the greater our potential to reveal His truth.

441. Knowledge is too often confused with truth.

442. Yesterday the world was flat, today it is round, but God’s truth is the same forever.

443. Knowledge is fleeting, truth eternal.

444. If I knew everything in the world, I would be most confused!

445. The pursuit of knowledge is excellent, the pursuit of truth, unsurpassable.

446. The more I learn, the less I know, so to my God I’d rather go.

447. Truth is like tightening a nut. There is only a small difference between maximum effectiveness and stripping the thread.

448. Human knowledge corrupts. Absolute knowledge corrupts absolutely.

449. Knowledge seeks truth but only God can reveal the truth.

450. Truth provides the foundation upon which the house of knowledge should be built.

FROM YOU -TO ME - TO YOU

David,

Failure to forgive can be a total block to physical healing (as I suspect you already know). Two years ago, I was part of a short-term healing mission to South Africa. Whenever we found that we were getting nowhere with healing prayer, we would ask the person for whom we were praying if there might be anyone that he/she needed to forgive.

Invariably, the answer was yes.

When we were able to help the person make the decision to forgive, physical healing quickly followed. This same pattern also appeared in cases of demonic oppression.

Refusal to forgive is like acid inside you. It literally eats you up.

Your weekly messages are a true blessing for me (and for many others, I am sure). Thank you so much for all your effort.

Blessings,

Dal

CRANWELLS CARTOONS

12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he returned to Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: 15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, along the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— 16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

LAUGHING AT OURSELVES

***Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused***

*** "Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others." ***

422. GLADLY
A child came home from Sunday School and told his mother that he had learned a new song about a cross-eyed bear named Gladly.

It took his mother a while before she realized that the hymn was really "Gladly The Cross I'd Bear."

421. THE NEW PREACHER
There was a new preacher who wanted to rent a house in the country. The only house available was rumoured to be haunted. Since the preacher didn't believe in such things, he rented it.

It wasn't long before the ghost made its appearance. The preacher told his friends about the ghost, but they didn't believe him. They told him the only way they would believe was if he would take a picture of the ghost.

The preacher went home and called for the ghost. When it appeared, the preacher explained the situation and asked the ghost if it would mind having its picture taken. The ghost agreed.

When the picture was developed, the ghost wasn't visible. Feeling very disappointed, the preacher called again for the ghost. When it appeared, the preacher showed it the picture and wanted to know why the ghost wasn't in it.

The ghost thought a minute and replied, "Well, I guess the spirit was willing, but the flash was weak."

420. COWBOY JOE
Cowboy Joe was telling his fellow cowboys back on the ranch about his first visit to a big-city church.

"When I got there, they had me park my old truck in the corral," Joe began.

"You mean the parking lot," interrupted Charlie, a more worldly fellow.

"I walked up the trail to the door," Joe continued.

"The sidewalk to the door," Charlie corrected him.

"Inside the door, I was met by this dude," Joe went on.

"That would be the usher," Charlie explained.

"Well, the usher led me down the chute," Joe said.

"You mean the aisle," Charlie said.

"Then, he led me to a stall and told me to sit there," Joe continued.

"Pew," Charlie retorted.

"Yeah," recalled Joe. "That's what that pretty lady said when I sat down beside her."

A SELF-EVALUATION PAPER FOR PASTORS By Rodney W. Francis.

NOTE FROM DAVID: Over the next while we will be including questions from this excellent, thought provoking, self - analysis questionnaire prepared by my friend Rodney. I recommend this highly to all who are involved in pastoring.

.............

Pastoring is a very challenging calling, and one that often has many demands placed upon it by people battling through problems and circumstances in life that they would prefer not to have. It is therefore very important that the office of a Pastor is filled by those who have the call of God to be Pastors. We have observed that people with the gifting of an Evangelist often finish up Pastoring. Yet Evangelists do not make good Pastors ~ it is a very different gifting.

This paper is an honest attempt to help those who are Pastoring to be more sure of their calling in God. When we know the will of God ~ and are walking in that will ~ then our lives and ministries will be much more fruitful. Pastoring is a calling, a gifting, not an occupation. I Pastored churches for 25 years, as well as pioneered several others, before God clearly called me into a full-time faith ministry at the beginning of the year 2000, so I do have an understanding of the things a Pastor goes through. My heart is to see Pastors fulfill their calling and destiny ~ that of nurturing and shepherding the people God entrusts to them ~ and to bring them to a place where they can be released to fulfill their calling and destiny as well (Ephesians 4:11-16).

May the following questions help you to clarify more of the call of God on your life, so you will be more effective than ever in the days ahead. There is no greater privilege in this life than to be called of God to a specific task, and to be fulfilling it. It also carries a huge responsibility, because Pastors are answerable to God for the way they treat and lead their people.

YOUR CALLING AND MINISTRY (Continued):

As a Pastor, do people gather to you? (Are you an “easily approachable” person?)

Is your church congregation growing, or decreasing?

If it is growing, what do you think are the key reasons for that growth?

If it is not growing, what do you think are the main reasons?

What do you see in yourself that requires adjustment or change?

As a Pastor, do you retain a teachable spirit?

Do you continue to be open to learn, and to accept and introduce new things as you receive them from the Holy Spirit?

What is the main emphasis of your preaching?

Do you get your own revelation from God for preaching, or do you rely on other preachers messages to preach?

What subjects “light you up” more than others?


Your fellow-labourer in the harvest field of Jesus,

Rodney W. Francis.

BIBLE TRIVIA (Strange and Amazing Facts)

THERE ARE 24 BOOKS IN THE HEBREW BIBLE

Adapted from: '1001 Surprising Things You Should Know About The Bible' MacGregor & Prys

Where Christian Civic Engagement Begins

On April 21, 2011, Tim Soerens stood before the 50 or so people who had shown up at the South Lake Union neighborhood community center, where Seattle mayor Mike McGinn was holding a town hall meeting. As the moderator, Soerens's job was to create a hospitable environment for discussion of issues ranging from local dog parks to a $2 billion tunnel through downtown—and to hold both the citizens and the mayor to their allotted time.

Soerens, 32, is a church planter and one of the founders of the Parish Collective, which seeks to help local churches be both "rooted in neighborhoods and linked across cities." For Soerens's church in the South Lake Union neighborhood, that meant helping to start the neighborhood's first farmers' market, hosting a weekly BBQ, and working with their neighbors in a local community garden—getting involved with existing nonprofits and initiatives whenever possible rather than starting new efforts from scratch. Many community council meetings later, he's now active in Wallingford, a neighborhood about a mile from South Lake Union, where he says he is "beginning the listening, organizing, and [finding] pathways of connection."

How does a church planter—or any Christian, for that matter—become a civic leader? According to Soerens, "You just need to show up and be consistent for a while. About 100 people run Seattle. Certainly the mayor and City Council, but from there you begin to see about the same 75 people or so at everything. This might be a slight exaggeration, but not as much as you might think." For Soerens, the link between civic engagement and the flourishing of the city is inextricable. "Democracy is a brilliant system if people show up. But if they don't, that vacuum will quickly get filled, and not always for the best."

Soerens's approach to civic influence doesn't require huge numbers or big budgets. "There is a general rule I've heard, at least in Seattle: If you can get 10 people to give 10 hours of their time for the same thing, you can pass legislation. And while that is actually a lot harder than it sounds, I think it's realistic." In fact, Soerens contends that "if you had three to five people of faith in each neighborhood of a city who were consistently involved in civic participation in their neighborhood, and they knew each other, they would have more influence to shape and bless the city than any megachurch with tens of thousands. Showing up once is not so hard; showing up for months and years is what creates the social capital for real change. But it really is just showing up, listening deeply, and seeking common-good solutions."

Where Christian Civic Engagement Begins
Tim Soerens believes that contributing to the shalom of his city starts with showing up.

So, several years ago, Soerens decided to "show up," and over time, he found himself in civic leadership. In fact, showing up was how Soerens got to know Mayor McGinn. Before McGinn was elected, the two men served together on local initiatives. Through his community organizing—the farmers' market, community garden, and neighborhood BBQ—Soerens began to find himself in the offices of city council members and leaders of various departments with the city. His role as moderator that April evening reflected the trust Soerens has built with the mayor and his staff.

For Soerens, being a civic-minded follower of Christ connects him to the very first believers. "If Christians dare to accept the confession that 'Jesus is Lord,' as the early church did, that means we are called to live out an alternative story rooted in the holistic, reconciling, and restoring mission of God. If Jesus is Lord of our neighborhood, what then?" If more Christians asked this question, he says, the "embodied church of, with, and for the neighborhood could emerge. Then, of course, the task is to lean into the tension between how things are and how things are supposed to be."

You could call that the crossroads of kingdom theology—the place where the already and the not yet meet. Soerens believes the church is most at home at that intersection. "Occupying that place—living in that intersection—is not so much a new strategy for the church, but rather a big, holy dare." Twenty years from now, Soerens hopes to see Wallingford and other Seattle neighborhoods become places where neighbors know and care for one another, spiritually and tangibly. And he hopes that those local places will be connected widely with other neighborhoods and cities, so that the church becomes "a network of blessing" for the world.

"This dare to follow Jesus into the very particular places, stories, and realities of different neighborhoods will be unique to each place, but I believe the task of engaging in the restorative work God is already doing is universal."

And sometimes, participating in that restorative work begins by just showing up.

A DAVID MUSING

On Saturday, we had our 3 yearly, New Zealand Government elections. Mercifully, after a shortened 4 week political campaign, as the far more important (LOL!) Rugby World Cup kept our attention earlier! Even so, more than 1 week of the shortened campaign was completely dominated by a literal 'tea party'. Not the serious American version, but a cup of tea between our Prime Minister and a candidate from another party whom he was asking the members of his party to support. The conversation was surreptitiously, or mistakenly, (depending upon who you believe) recorded, and given to the media. The media wouldn't publish it but we huge discussion on what was said was generated! So much for policy! And democratic elections based on informed choice!

For the record, our National (conservative party - but roughly equivalent to the US Democrats in policy) won 48% of the votes and will govern in a coalition with probably, 3 other minor parties.

However, my Jesus does not change from day to day, or year to year. His 'manifesto', the biggest selling book in world history, has remained the same forever!

Where will you look to for your salvation? A politician? Or to Jesus, the same, yesterday, today and forever.? I know to whom my vote will go!

Until next week.......

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU BLESS GOD.

His servant and yours

Our role is to bless and encourage those in ministry while promoting co-operation and unity of direction amongst the body of Christ, as emphasised 3 times by Jesus in His longest prayer, immediately prior to His arrest and crucifixion. "… so that they may be one as we are one." (John 17:12, 21, 23-4) Our website is currently being developed to encourage your participation one with another, to share resources, and to enable you to promote events and items of interest to the body as a whole – and have a smile while doing it!
