Scripture: Philippians 4:4-9 (with prelude)
Sermon: In Jesus and in the World
This summer people are invited to ask for a sermon on a piece of scripture, theme, or a question. Alice asked for one on this scripture, specifically verse six. It was a nice challenge.
…and I forgot to turn the recorder on. So, ask someone what (if anything) they remember from the sermon.
We had communion. Yeah, the bread was fuschia. Ya’ got a problem with that?
The scripture had a prelude in that three of us did an echo reading of the first verse. It is not so much to read (and yeah, I did not record any part of the service), but you can read it here. Imagine those times when you are getting echos back from different places at different times so that the words and phrases get all jumbled up.

Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
