Sermon by Rev. Renee LiaBraaten
Are you ready for a few questions?
How many of you have ever participated in a protest?
Oh, good, because you will be able to answer the next question: What does it feel like to be a part of a protest?
Why do people protest? What sorts of things motivate a person to take part in a protest?
Many, many moons ago, back when I was a student in seminary, our preaching professor would tell us, over and over again, that we were all trying to say way too much in our sermons. We were going off in too many different directions. He said, “Just pick one thing to focus on. Make three points about that one thing. And then, Amen. That’s it. You’re done.”
