Sermon Reflections

Rev. Goris' two sermons on Sunday were both great.

In the morning he contextualised and gave content to 'blessed are those who mourn' very well. In the afternoon he reflected on the faithfulness of God, as appealed to by whomever wrote Lamentations (Jeremiah?), shown in the rising of the sun every day. I particularly appreciated the way that he placed Nehemiah, Jeremiah, and Psalm 137 in the story of Israel's exile and Jeresalem's destruction.

I still feel very moved to think that we, with the Psalmist and with Jeremiah, are going to learn to speak these words as our own.
