| Sermon in a sentence: | Jesus didn't do this work alone, and you can't, either. The key thing Jesus did when starting ministry was to gather a group of people, a team of disciples. He didn't do it alone but in collaboration. Partnerships and joining others are essential parts of changemaking. Like the African proverb: "If you want to go fast, do it alone. If you want to go far, do it together." | We have the capacity to be creative because God is creative. Look at creation, at diversity. We are made in God's image. We have everything we need to make change; we have enough. We just need to stretch our imaginations, break out of constrained thinking. | Like Jesus, changemakers use power differently. Jesus was a leader, but he led in a different ways he shared and gave away power rather than amassing it. Changemaking is about a deeper restoring, healing, uplifting, liberating, and unburdening of others. | This is a question we all need to answer for ourselves. My theology is largely panentheist, which means one way of describing God is "God is that in which all is." | |
