Sermon from Trinity Moravian Church \u2013 May 22, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on <\/em>Acts 16:9-15<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>John 14:23-29<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the lesson for this morning, Paul is in Troas. This is in modern-day Turkey, and in earlier centuries was known as Troy — as in \u201cHelen of.\u201d\u00a0 He has a vision, a dream or something, of a Macedonian man begging for Paul to \u201cCome over to Macedonia and help us.\u201d\u00a0 Not too unlike when Anthony Ulrich begged the Moravians to go to St Thomas and teach the slaves about Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\nPaul didn\u2019t hesitate \u2013 he got on Travelocity and booked a flight to\nMacedonia.  Well, maybe not \u2013 since they\ndidn\u2019t have the internet or airplanes, he went down to the dock and booked\npassage on a ship. And as always happens, there was no direct flight.  He had to have a layover in Samothrace, then hop\nover to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, \u201cwhich is a leading city of the\ndistrict of Macedonia and a Roman colony.\u201d \nMacedonia is the region north of Greece. \nIn modern times, it borders on Bulgaria, Kosovo, and Serbia.  This journey back then probably took the\nbetter part of a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I want you to remember that these were the days when it was quite controversial to preach the Gospel to a Gentile.  Most followers of Jesus, followers of \u201cThe Way,\u201d were Jews who believed that you had to first be Jewish to become what later became known as \u201cChristians.\u201d  Paul\u2019s idea that he should carry the Gospels to un-Judaified Gentiles was as controversial then as anything we have going today.  You\u2019ll recall that last week, we read of Peter\u2019s vision an Acts 11 of the sheet lowered from heaven filled with animals that were considered ritually unclean for Jews.  When Peter reacted with revulsion, saying that he would never eat anything unclean, the voice of God told him that \u201c\u2018What God has made clean, you must not call profane.\u201d  Peter understood that this was not a vision about dietary rules \u2013 but about people.  He realized that Christ\u2019s salvation extended to all, not just to the Jews.  And we\u2019re quite lucky that happened, because we are the Gentiles \u2013 I don\u2019t know any member of Trinity who has a Jewish mother!  Now there were a number of Gentiles across the Roman empire who had converted to Judaism.  But Paul was going beyond that group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nPaul was doing \u2013 and what he continued to do \u2013 was to cross the traditional\nboundaries that divided people and extended the grace of Jesus Christ to all.\nAnd that\u2019s great because it is outside of those boundaries that the great holy\nmoments happen.  We think of the \u201cchurch\u201d\nas this building, and think of \u201chaving church\u201d as something that happens inside\nthese four walls at 11 am Sunday. But the Kingdom of God is something that\nhappens out there, in the streets and the hospitals and schools and places of\nbusiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One\nchurch consultant whom I respect recently wrote, \u201cImagine a restaurant that is\nonly open one hour a week \u2013 and when you go there, they tell you what you must\neat!\u201d  Wouldn\u2019t last very long, would\nit?  But that\u2019s how the church has\noperated for many centuries \u2013 you come here at the prescribed time, we\u2019ll tell\nyou what to eat, and then you go home.  And\nit doesn\u2019t do much the rest of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nactually knew a restaurant that operated that way, in Bethlehem PA.  I think her name was Mama Rosita, and she had\nthe first floor of her house on the South Side of Bethlehem packed with\ntables.  One night a week, she\u2019d open for\nbusiness.  There was no menu; you\u2019d eat\nwhatever she served and like it.  And you\ncould not<\/em> have your desert until you\nhad finished your vegetables.  I think\nthe first-year students at Lehigh University who were homesick went there for a\nlittle dose of home, a little taste of home cooking and Mom\u2019s discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nyou know a restaurant like that in any other environment would close up right\naway.  We like our menus, our choices.  And we want it when we want it.  Maybe you\u2019ve had the experience of visiting a\nfast food restaurant recently when they didn\u2019t have enough staff, and waiting\nand waiting and waiting.  How upset you\ngot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nwe\u2019ve run churches that way for centuries. \nIn reality, the most holy stuff happens outside these walls.  This sacred hour on a Sunday should be a time\nfor believers to recharge, to worship God \u2013 but then to go out and cross those\nboundaries into the real world where stuff happens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nRev Dr. Lillian Daniel is a UCC pastor. \nShe wrote a while back about a profound experience early in her\nministry.  Right out of seminary, she was\nassociate pastor at a large church.  They\nhad a sexton named Tom.  A sexton is like\na church custodian, the guy with the keys that cleans up and closes up and\nfixes things.  Tom was, she wrote, \u201cA\nfifty-year rock and roller who had turned his life around, Tom the sexton had\nfinally met the right wife, finally quit drinking, finally quit drugging and\nfinally started to think about one day quitting smoking.\u201d  But he had a terrible experience with church\nas a young man which wounded him, and though he worked enthusiastically for the\nchurch, he never showed up at 11 am Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associate Pastor Daniel lived in a parsonage next door to the church, and would often have Tom come over to fix things.  They would often have a cup of coffee and he would talk about God and the meaning of the universe \u2013 you know, idle chit-chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lillian\nDaniel moved on to another church but stayed in touch with Tom.  A few years later, she got the call that Tom\nhad lung cancer and was in the hospital dying. \nWould she come to visit?  She sat\nthere with Tom and his wife.  His wife\nheld Tom\u2019s hand. Lillian sat at the foot of the bed and held his foot, thinking\nof the washing of feet in the Bible.  She\nwas still there when Tom passed, and the foot started to get cold.  This was the first time she had ever been\npresent while a person died.  She wrote,\n\u201cI was just a former associate minister, one who had stayed too short a time to\naffect much at the church at all, but suddenly there I was the Church of Jesus\nChrist writ large, present at the moment when Tom would die, and I would\nwitness my very first experience of life leaving one body and going somewhere\nelse.\u201d  It was a holy, frightening,\nawe-filled experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nhave forgotten how many people I have sat with as they died.  It is indeed a overwhelming moment, often\nvery quiet, and often very holy.  Maybe\nyou have experienced that with a family member. \nBut that\u2019s an example of where the kingdom of God happens, not inside\nthese walls but out in the world, in a bedroom, or hospice, or a hospital room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nCovid came and shut down all our institutions, it accelerated the revelation\nthat much of ministry happens outside this hall.  If we are to share the love of Christ, if we\nare to be His hands and feet, then that happens out there.  Like Paul, we need to be ready to cross the\nboundaries that the world and the organized church love so much.  We need to reach out to people who are not\nlike us, people who don\u2019t know our hymns, people who have no ideas what a\nliturgy is.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This church has a remarkable history of doing that.\u00a0 Sunnyside, LOGOS, Anthony\u2019s Plot, Freedom School, these are all ministries that cross the barriers with the love of God.\u00a0 I know for a fact that Sunnyside and LOGOS have changed the lives of many people who never became members of this church \u2013 but we were the hand of God in their lives at a crucial moment.\u00a0 At our best, we\u2019ve always been willing to cross boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But today it is even more needed.  I have spent the last six months having many conversations with young people, often young people who have already left the church.  Many of them have tried Sunday at 11, and found it less than fulfilling.  The church services they have experienced feel contrived to them, and they are seeking for somethin real, something authentic. They want to do<\/em> something that makes a difference, not hear about someone else making a difference. Or, like Lillian Daniels\u2019 friend Tom, they have been hurt by the church \u2013 or someone in the church.  They have walked away.  But that doesn\u2019t mean they aren\u2019t seeking after God, looking for the Kingdom.  They are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nPaul arrived at Macedonia, he met a woman named Lydia in Thyatira, which is the\nmodern-day Turkish city of Akhisar.  She\nwas a dealer in purple cloth, which means incredibly expensive luxury\nfabrics.  Purple in those days was worn\nonly by royalty or the mega-wealthy.  The\ndye had to be made from the purple murex, a sea snail.  Thousands of the snails were needed to make a\nsmall amount of dye.  She might not have\nbeen mega-wealthy herself, but she was undoubtedly a well-off tradeswoman.  She was a \u201cworshipper of God,\u201d one who revered\nGod but was not a Jewish convert or a Christian yet.  Think \u201cspiritual but not religious\u201d in our\ntime.  But the Spirit opened her heart so\nthat she could hear what Paul had to say. \nThis is just as the early Moravian missionaries\u2019 gentle evangelism.  No Bible-thumping, no confrontation: they\nwaited until they sensed that the Spirit had prepared the way in a person\nbefore they began talking about faith.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nGod calls you to cross that boundary, as happened here with Paul in a vision,\nwhat will you do?  Will you step outside\nthese walls?  Will you befriend someone\ncompletely unlike you?  Will you grow\nfrom the experience, and find together those holy moments when lives are\nchanged and lives renewed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
