Greetings!
There are many different reasons we come together as a church – why we participate in a faith community. In stressful or uncertain times (even times like the ones we’re living in now) we often come together to seek for answers to tough questions, certainties upon which we can depend. This is natural and, to some degree, churches need to do this for their members.
On the other hand, when we’re only focused on answers and getting straight to the truth, we can see more creative or personal conversation and stories as distracting, even as a waste of time. But I think that having “pointless” conversations and sharing random stories about our everyday lives is important. We don’t make enough time for it.
On this upcoming Trinity Sunday we’ll see what happens when Nicodemus comes to Jesus seeking sure answers about puzzling and mysterious questions of faith. We’ll listen in on their conversation, and even talk about what those kinds of conversations can do for us as well.
Peace.
Hardy
