The 23rd Sunday After Pentecost: God's Promises
The Rev. Meghan Mullarkey
Texts: Isaiah 65:17-25 & Luke 21:5-19
"All of God’s promises are available to us today and yet we live in a world that rejects this Kingdom, that murders this King. We know the end of this story for Jesus, or at least we know what happens when Jesus gets to Jerusalem, that ultimately, Christ is rejected by this world’s order. A loud and resounding no, to God’s Kingdom present here and now. And yet, the truth of God’s promises live in and around us regardless of whether or not we or the world accepts it or sees it. We cannot kill God for when we try - God will overcome death and rise again. God will go into the depths of hell to be present with us and show us again and again that God’s is more powerful than death, more powerful than any destruction we could see or experience on earth."
Clarification: eschatological refers to discussion of the end times - the references to eschatological in this sermon was implying the eschatological promises of God to make all things right and will be used as clarification in the future!
