There’s always a backstory. God’s people were tired of their obedience of relational mutuality with God. They wanted a king who would make them bend the knee, who would bring glory to Israel by compelling them to fight their enemies. Didn’t work out well. The solution? Bring another king into the mix, but make it a runt whom God could form and mold.
Today's preacher is Steve Sylvester, Intentional Interim Pastor at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Roseville Obedience. It’s no one’s favorite word, especially in a society that so prizes individuality and independence. Because obedience, which implies subservience, seems a strange thing to focus on after taking three-weeks to focus on the importance of relationships. As Google tells us, however (yes, roll your eyes, but it CAN be helpful), “The Latin foundational word for 'obedience' is oboedire, which correctly translated means – ‘to hear or to listen’. This translation implies a relationship of mutuality where members of the community are listening to one another.” Community. Mutuality. Where have we heard THOSE words?
