The Weight of the Word

Worship with Rejoicing

Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, Year B

Few stories highlight the power and responsibility of preaching like Nathan’s confrontation with David. This can certainly be a day for pulling back the curtain and speaking directly with the congregation about preaching.

Let the word speak to God’s people this week, as it does every week. Let the proclamation be one of transformation, repentance, and restitution. Let there be a challenge to everyone to not abuse their power, their position, their authority. And let us hold our leaders to a high standard in life and in official capacity. Let us see all the people who might be impacted by our choices and our preferences. Let us hear the weight of the word that tears down and builds up in equal measure.
