Last week I mentioned that I had written a sermon about Abraham and his almost sacrifice of his beloved son Isaac. This isn't that sermon, but it is about the long arc of a family story that begins with Abraham and Sarah. Last week we heard about Abraham's almost sacrifice of Isaac. Isaac wasn't killed by his father. He grew up. And in this morning’s reading from Genesis we heard how Rebekah became Isaac’s wife. These are just part of the epic saga we are reading week after week this summer. Unfortunately, it is like reading Cliff’s Notes of the Book of Genesis only one page at a time, and then separated by a week before the next page is read.
5 Pentecost

In the name of the God of all Creation,
The God alive in each of us as God was alive in Jesus,
And the power of God known in the Spirit.
Amen.
