According to D. H. Lawrence, “The sense of wonder is our sixth sense, and it is a natural religious sense.” I think we can all agree with our word this week from our Year of Spiritual Literacy, that there is so much to see, touch, smell, taste, and heart. Wonder may indeed be something we reserve for children, but it is very much for adults, too.
Our texts for this week are Amos 5:6-7, 10-15 and Hebrews 4: 12-16, and my sermon title is “Come to Jesus Moments”. The world is constantly moving toward us with what feels like a flood of epiphanies—new insights, new ideas, old memories, traditions galore, perceptions, visions, and intuitions. We are called to join the parade of wonders. We hallow and hail the Higher Power’s presence in the realm of surprises which are our daily round and rhythm. Plan to join us for worship.
