Wrapping Up the Summer Preaching Tour: Final Sermon at Augustana, Gospel of Luke and Jesus setting stuff and us on Fire

Well,

Does that make you want to DANCE?

Isn’t that how our very being should MOVE

Isn’t this the type of Spirit,

That the world needs to see

From us,

Beloved?

That even amid everything,

How our world seems to be struggling

For air

To thrive,

For a sense of serenity,

To settle out the chaos,

That we as people of faith,

Are about living out His commandment,

To Love one another

To see Jesus etched on each other’s faces

To breathe in the grace and mercy,

That the Creator has rooted in our souls

And to exhale,

The promises

That we are never alone,

Always forgiven
