Sermon
Sermon by Rev. Renee LiaBraaten
Let’s get started with a couple questions: The first question: What are the qualities you look for in a friend?
And, question number two: How do you determine if a person is trustworthy? How do you decide if you can trust someone?
A couple weeks ago, in his sermon, Rev Jerry invited us to think of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well as a play. This morning, I would like to expand on this idea and invite us to think of the entire season of Lent as a play or a Netflix Series. Each Sunday in Lent, our gospel lesson is like another act or episode in the ongoing drama of Jesus’ journey to the cross. And the title of this Lenten play or series is: “To Believe or Not to Believe.” That is the question that is posed in each episode, each act of the play. And, that is the question we each have to answer over and over in the ongoing drama of our daily lives.
