This is the one. This is the sermon I would like you all to listen to this week. Many of you are hearing wonderful sermons and services virtually in your homes. Last Sunday, my family added a sermon called "The Cross and the Lynching Tree: A Requiem for Ahmaud Arbery" from Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III of Trinity United Church of Christ on the South Side of Chicago to our stay at home church. When your teenage and young adult boys tell you a sermon clarified and excited their faith more than anything else they have seen and heard — well, it’s a conversation that parents love to have with their children who want to keep the faith but apply it to the times they are in. This is a combination of preaching and filmmaking, as you would expect from Otis Moss III. For me, Otis’s sermon may be the best one I have ever heard about America’s Original Sin — how we might repent of it and be healed from it. Listen, watch, weep, hope, and be renewed. Please consider passing this one to at least one friend and joining us in a recent action alert to combat voter suppression efforts in the 2020 election.
Blessings,
Jim Wallis
