St Michael's Diary

Sunday 25 September 2011, St Michael, Harvest, Back to Church Sunday Philippians 2:1-13, Matthew 21:23-32, ROMANS 10:9, Bruce

2011-09-24T16:17:00.002-07:00

A vicar’s daughter watched her father preparing a sermon. “How do you know what to say?” she asked. “God tells me”, he replied. “Then why do you keep crossing things out?”

There are various sorts of sermons, and today I want to try to preach a traditional text. This differs from a Theme sermon (today we will look at the theme of Giving), or an Expositional sermon (today we are going to expound Philippians 2, verse by verse, clause by sub-clause).

In Romans 10: 9 Paul says “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Paul has never been to Rome. All through his letter to the church there, Paul has been talking about faith as the foundation of our relationship with God, and here he summarises the whole thing in one verse. It does not matter if you come to church regularly or hardly at all, if you come from the chosen race or not, know your bible inside out or are just starting to explore what it says, feel you are living a good moral upright life – or not .... All that matters is that you publically declare your faith in Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that he has been raised from the dead. Everything else will follow from that.
This is a good text to preach here at St Michael’s at St Michael’s tide. Everything we do is shaped by our desire to Encounter God and Grow in Him – both for ourselves and to help others. Each of us is on a journey of exploration and discovery, but the turning point comes when we encounter God in his Son Jesus Christ, when we see how this historical life lived 2,000 years ago has a direct relevance to our own lives today.
There are many ways that we can be led to this encounter. Some of these are stories we were told in Sunday School, reading the bible, singing hymns, or being a member of a local Christian community. Some of us have found that life-events, both happy and sad, have drawn us closer to God, while others have found they have made us question, doubt, and feel further away from faith.
A key factor is our response to Creation and the beauty of nature all around us. Paul goes so far as to say that the inner state of our hearts and minds towards God is revealed by the way that we respond to all that he has created.
We read in Romans 1: 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
This is why Harvest is so important. It is our opportunity to remember where all our good things come from, and to give thanks to God who has so richly blessed us. I love the nature programmes on television, and the stories about all that we discover about genetics, string-theory, the exploration of space, the amazing way that life has developed here on earth. I love to hear about true scientists, whose minds are open as they seek to understand the mysteries of creation. I fear for those who say, in effect, we have explained it all (or are confident that we will soon be able to), and we do not see any room for God in that picture. They are, I am sure, good and moral people, but in denying the Creator, they are claiming the right to think as God for themselves; they are repeating the folly and sin of Adam and Eve in the garden, and they are starting on a road to ruin that will lead unstoppably to a denial of all that God is, and to all the evils and cruelties of our world today. G. K. Chesterton said “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing – they believe in anything.” To be thankful is to express faith. If Jesus is the whole of the pyramid, and faith in his cross and resurrection are the pinnacle, then the broad base is to value and give thanks for all that he has created. To do anything less is to walk in to find a tidied house and beautifully prepared meal, and say “O, that’s a stroke of luck!”

So, to confess that Jesus is Lord is to acknowledge him in every part of our lives and to see his hand in everything around us. It is to marvel that, as we read in Philippians 2, his Lordship derives from a humble obedient heart that laid aside the privileges of equality with his Father and became actually part of the creation. This is a greater mystery than the science we discussed before. He humbled himself even to death, the ultimate degradation that we find in the created order, but he also was raised as living human body and is in the heavenlies right now praying for us.

The point of this is that Jesus is acknowledged as Lord – the one that we obey. We believe in the God of creation, whose Son Jesus died for us and rose again, and we find ourselves therefore obeying him. Anything less than this is to acknowledge him as a teacher or a moral example, or someone to be respected. But, Paul says, what flows from this is a loving life that puts others first, where God is at work helping us to be no longer conformed to a rebellious world system that does not acknowledge God, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, so that we may prove what the will of God is for us, and do it.

In this short treatment I am not able to address all the questions that spring from this; that is what our different groups give us an opportunity to do, and you are warmly invited to join us at one of them. One question, however, is what about those who do not confess Jesus as Lord, or believe in his resurrection? What about those who make themselves subject to wrath?

Looking at our gospel passage, we can see that there are those who are determined to be, in effect, their own Lords, and they have made up their minds. It does not matter if a prophet like John or the saviour himself comes to them; they already know an answer that suits them. But Jesus goes straight on to tell the story of a son who changes his mind and decides to fall in with his father’s wishes. In the same way the invitation is for each and every one of us this morning, to confess that Jesus Is Lord and to trust him in our hearts; let us ask God for the gift of faith and understanding, so that we may be truly open for all that he has for us, and encounter him for ourselves.

Discussion Questions
1. Jesus is Lord: what impact does this have on your daily life?
2. How would disbelieving in God as Creator lead to disobedience and evil living?
3. If a particular culture or belief system suggested that you do something wrong, how would you respond in the light of Paul’s teaching?
4. How might the resurrection of Jesus lead us to re-evaluate the whole of creation and our place within it?

Sermon for Sunday 18 September 2011 –Matthew 20:1-16 and Philippians 1:21-30 - Kim

2011-09-24T16:17:00.001-07:00

In this parable we see Jesus telling us something about everyday life and each of Jesus’ parables are either from the market place, the farm, the family. You could say that today’s parable is about salaries, wages, and a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work, it’s about the daily or hourly income. People always get tense, anxious and nervous when you talk about money, salaries, and income.
After reading this passage three times I asked myself what is the purpose of this parable? I believe the key to the story is the contrast between those who came at the last hour and those who came at the first hour. Regardless of when they clocked in, all were given a full day’s wage.
Those who were given a full days wage at the last hour felt that their wage was undeserved, unearned and a wonderful gift from the owner. The wage was a gift, a surprise, a wonderful delight. And there are Christians who feel that God’s generosity to them is unearned, undeserved, and they are surprised at the generosity of God. Such Christians have this attitude that life has been a wonderful gift from God such as these workers who came to work for only one hour and had received a full blessing from God.
Meanwhile, there are other religious people who were there at six o’clock in the morning and they worked all day long. They were born into the Christian faith; they were baptised into the Christian faith; they went to Sunday school; they went to Youth Group; they did confirmation; they were part of the fabric of the church; they sang in the choir; they served on The PCC; they came to church every Sunday. And they knew in their hearts that God owed it to them. They had the inner attitude: if anyone deserved to be blessed by God, they did because they had been faithful to God and his church all of their lives. God: I deserve your blessing. I have earned your blessing because of my faithful behavior to you and the church throughout the years.
Jesus said those who are last with an attitude of thanksgiving shall be first, and those who think they are first shall be last.
Tell me what did you do yesterday to deserve to be given the gift of life today? What did you do yesterday that was so good that you deserved to live today? To wake up, brush your teeth, have breakfast, see your family, come to church, be with nice people: what did you do yesterday on Saturday that you deserved to be alive on Sunday?
What about the young man who watched the marathon runners run passed him and then he leaps out of the crowd and runs towards the finishing line which was about a mile out from the end. As he was handed a medal another gentleman who had finished alongside him complained saying that the young man only ran the last mile, he doesn’t deserve a medal. The young man did get a medal and later that week; his picture was in his local newspaper. Several months before this young man had is left foot amputated after a car accident, he was a keen runner and even though the marathon runners had worked hard and trained well for the event and deserved their medals. For this young man, with a false foot, that one mile would have seemed like a marathon to him – that’s why the organisers allowed him a medal.
So it is with life and everything in life: life, the abundant life, and eternal life are free gifts of God to us, and we do nothing to deserve or earn them.
Jesus was telling the people around him that the parable was about salvation and that it was available to everyone, sadly he knew that only a few would take up his offer. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, he paid the price for salvation for anyone who believed in him. It is his to give to anyone who comes to him. Some people accept Jesus, and have the joy of working for God for many years. Some people put off accepting Jesus until late in life, even until they are about to die. They only get to serve the Lord a short time. God makes salvation available to us all.
Today, our western ‘celebrity’ culture favours those who manage to push themselves to the front, whether it’s people with the most obvious talent or the stars with the busy agents. Sadly, that can spill over into the life of the church: famous leaders and preachers get attention and the ‘ordinary’ Christian becomes a passive spectator. We need to remember that there are no such people as ‘ordinary’ Christians. In the renewal of all things which Jesus spoke about, all sorts of people will stand out as the real heroes and heroines of faith, though nobody has ever heard of them before. They will be the ones who, whether for five minutes or fifty years served God with total and glad obedience, giving themselves completely to holiness, prayer, and the works of love and mercy. Such people are the pure gold of the church. But, so often, gold remains hidden and takes some finding.
God has called us to have an attitude of being humble, and thankful for our relationship with Him and not resentful of others who claim Jesus as Lord late in life. We should seek to work with Jesus to bring others to a relationship with him, to be humble enough to be the seed planters and allow others who will reap the reward of our sowing, to rejoice. To be humble enough not to want to covert another persons’ gift; but to be thankful for His many blessings bestowed on us.
Gracious Lord, help us to be humble enough to take whatever place we are given, and zealous enough to work wholeheartedly for your glory where and when you call us. Amen.
Questions:
1. How does Matthew 20:1-16 relate to today?
2. Have you been tempted to want to covet another persons’ gift, or position or property?
3. How do you feel that you may be one of the last?
4. Have you been treated unfairly? What did you do about it?
