Repent! And believe in the good news

 We are still in the first chapter of Mark’s gospel, near the beginning of the story.
Jesus was baptized, tempted in the wilderness,
           and now he comes into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.
There is an urgency in this gospel story – an apparent rush to get on with it,
            to the heart of the story:
Jesus’ ministry of preaching, teaching and healing,
            and his proclamation that the kingdom of God is near.
In the first 20 verses of Mark’s gospel, he uses the word “immediately” three times.
One commentator I read said Mark’s gospel begins like an alarm clock,
            “persistently declaring the time and demanding a response”
                                                (Ted A Smith - Feasting on the Word, Yr B, Vol. 1 p. 285)

So we find Jesus, just as his story is beginning,
            diving into the heart of the matter.
Repent! he says, and believe in the good news.

 I think we tend to hear this word, Repent, in a narrow sense –
           confessing our sins and being truly sorry
            for what we have done and what we have failed to do.
That is part of it;
            when people come to John for his baptism of repentance,
            they confess their sins.
Our confession each week reminds us to be honest, with ourselves, our neighbors,     and with God, about our wrong-doing.

 But the word used here – metanoia – means much more.
it means to turn around,
            to change one’s orientation and direction.
When Jesus calls the people to repent, he asks them not only to say they are sorry,
            but to turn their lives and hearts in a new direction.

 When I was just out of college, I worked as a youth and family minister at Family of Christ Lutheran Church in Chanhassen, MN.
It was a new congregation, with an informal worship setting –
            chairs set up in a multi-purpose space facing a moveable altar.
One year, on the first Sunday of Lent, the worshipers at Family of Christ arrived at church to find the space was completely turned around.
The altar was on the opposite side of the room,
            and all the chairs facing what was usually the back wall.
Pastor Nate wanted to provide a physical, experiential illustration of metanoia –
            turning around, changing orientation and facing a new direction.
We worshipped that way for the whole of Lent.

 Repent! Jesus calls
But that is not his whole message.
Jonah preached “Repent, or God will destroy you,”
           and the people of Ninevah, amazingly, decided to quit their evil ways.
But Jesus’ words are filled with promise, not threat.
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near;
            repent, and believe in the good news.
In Jesus, God has done a new thing.
God has fulfilled God’s promises, and a new age has dawned.
And Mark wants us to know that this is good news!
Again, in 20 verses, he uses the phrase “good news” three times.
He introduces his story by telling us it is “the good news of Jesus the Christ.”
He tells us Jesus has come to Galilee to proclaim the good news.

 Do we think of repentance as good news?
Repentance is usually hard.
We don’t like facing and confessing our sins – to ourselves, to another, or to God.
And changing our lives – turning in a new direction – is hard work.
But if you think of repentance as metanoia – turning towards God –
            then it truly is good news.
Because it means turning towards a God who loves and forgives us.
It means turning away from a world view that values
            status, money, power and individualism;
and turning toward a kingdom of God view
            that values peace, justice, mercy and caring community.
The kingdom of God Jesus speaks of embraces a world view held together by love.

 This is the kingdom Jesus invites us into
           when he invites us to follow.
Because Jesus’ invitation to repent is not just a one-time thing.
Again, like an alarm clock, it is a persistent call that demands a response.
In the story, Jesus proclaims the good news that the kingdom of God is near,
            and then calls Simon and Andrew, James and John, to follow him.
And “immediately” they drop their nets and go with him.
What an altar call!
There must have been something amazing in the presence of Jesus that caused them   to drop everything and follow.
But as United Methodist Pastor Elton Brown points out,
            this is just the beginning of the story.
He writes, “Ahead, for them as for us, there is much to learn, much stumbling, misunderstanding, and backsliding. Becoming a faithful Christian disciple takes both a moment and a lifetime.” (Feasting on the Word, Yr B, Vol. 1 p. 284)

 Some of us can remember one moment
           when we encountered God and our lives changed.
We have a story of call, or conversion, which we can point to and say,
            It started here.

For many of us there is not one moment –
            rather, the moment comes again and again –
            that moment when we choose again to turn and follow Christ.
It comes in a song that moves us, in words that touch our hearts,
            in bread and wine that meet us just where we are in need,
            in someone listening to us and laying healing hands upon us.
We hear the voice of Jesus, inviting us to come,
            and we are once again moved to follow him.

 Follow me, Jesus says, and I will make you fish for people.
Some of us hear remember an older translation of these words:
           Jesus says, I will make you fishers of men.
And this is one of those instances when translation really matters,
            and the attempt to be inclusive lost something important.
If we are called to fish for people, we are given a task
One more thing to add to our to-do list for the week:
            shop for groceries
            finish the project
            work out at the gym
            fish for people.


But if Jesus calls us to be “fishers of men” – or “fishers of people” –
            that is not just a task.
It is an identity.
It is part of the repentance and the new direction our lives are taking;
            when we choose to follow Christ, we choose to become fishers of people.
We choose to be people whose lives shine with the love of God in Christ,
            so that others may know that love.
To be people whose lives are filled with acts of kindness and mercy.
To be people who see in one another – our closest family members and strangers on the street and foreigners in far-away lands – the face of Jesus.

 In fact, that is just the reason this call to repentance, this invitation to follow, 
           is Good news.
Because it tells us that God has already loved and chosen and called us.
God’s reign of love has already begun, somehow, in this world,
            and we are invited to be a part of it.
The choice to follow means hard work and sometimes hard choices,
            but it also means living in a joy and peace that only Christ can give.
As Ted Smith,    writes,

“We do not repent in order to usher in the time of redemption, but because that time is already at hand. We do not become fishers in order to meet the quota that will summon up the reign of God, but because that reign has already come near. And we do not follow Jesus with the hopes that one day we might find him, but because he has already come to us and called us.” (Feasting on the Word, Yr B, Vol. 1 p. 287)

Today is the day of our Annual Meeting,
            when we will look back at the year we have just completed
            and look ahead to new things to come.
I chose the text from Philippians today because expresses how I feel about all of you.
“I thank my God every time I remember you.”
I thank God every time I get to sit up here, singing with you or speaking to you,
            looking at your faces smiling and listening and sometimes crying,
            all of us finding here a holy place – a place to seek God.

I love the part that says, “God who has begun a good work in you will be faithful to complete it”
I believe that is true for us right now.
We have worked hard, together, to follow the call of Jesus
            in service to one another and the world.
We have done our best, not just make our faith one more thing to do,
            but to live our lives as fishers of people,
            shining with God’s light in a world which is too often dark.
As we enter a year which will see many changes,
            new opportunities and new challenges, we are blessed to be in this together.
May God continue to work, in this beautiful community and within each one of us,
            for the sake of peace and love and justice in our world.

Amen.

In Mark’s gospel, Jesus’s baptism is the beginning of everything.
It is literally the beginning – the very first thing that happens once Mark announces that he is telling “the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.”
John baptizes Jesus in the Jordan River, and the heavens open.
A voice from heaven says,
            “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”
This is not only the first thing that happens –
            it is the foundation for everything else that happens in the gospel.
Jesus is chosen and blessed, accepted and loved, and filled with the Holy Spirit.
Everything he does after that flows out of this experience.
David Lose, President of the Lutheran Seminary in Philadelphia, says,
“Again and again, as Jesus casts out unclean spirits, heals the sick, feeds the hungry, and welcomes the outcast, he will only do to others what has already been done to him, telling then via word and deed that they, too, are beloved children of God with whom God is well pleased. “                                           - from David Lose’s Blog, In the Meantime

 Baptism is a new beginning for each of us.
Each of us, in our baptism, is chosen and blessed, accepted and loved,
           and filled with the Holy Spirit.
But it may be difficult for most of us to experience baptism as a new beginning.
For many of us here, our baptisms also happened, literally, at the beginning –
            in the first years of our lives.
How many of your remember your baptism?
I was baptized when I was four weeks old, at St Paul Lutheran Church in Omaha, NE,
            the church where my mother grew up
It is hard for me to think of it as a turning point in my life.
And even for those of us who chose baptism as older children or adults,
            it may be hard to hold on to the special new start offered that day.
Martin Luther counseled his followers to remember their baptism daily by making the sign of the cross when they washed in the morning.
He lived his baptism, not as a one-time event,
            but as a new-every day reality in his life with God.
Fr. Doug has mentioned in a recent sermon that, as a young man, Luther was tormented by guilt and worry over the smallest of sins.
He was convinced that God was just waiting to catch him in the act and condemn him for the slightest wrong.
After his revelatory reading of Romans,
            when he finally understood what it means to live in grace,
Luther realized that he could rely on God’s promise of love and forgiveness made at his baptism.
The story goes that occasionally, when Luther started to revert back to thinking that God was an angry hostile vengeful God, he knew that it was the devil trying to get him to doubt God’s grace. And when Luther experienced this despair and discouragement, he was known to throw an occasional ink pot at the devil while yelling "I am baptized!"
Not I was baptized, but I am baptized.
For Luther, baptism was a beginning not just once,
            but a matter of always-being-made-new by his faith in God.
We, too, can live out lives filled with the remembrance of our baptism.
We can share in the belief that God can make all things new.
The reading from Genesis reminds us that
In the Beginning,
God created everything out of chaos and nothingness
God spoke light and the world into being
            and God saw that it was good.
God continues to create
            to create each person in God’s own image
            to create new ideas and new horizons and new relationships.
God can create second chances and new life,
            even when we see only chaos and darkness.
In Detroit we would have said –
            We have a God who makes a way out of no way!
God always offers new life and new beginning
             to those who believe and open our hearts.
This does not mean it is easy.
Nor that we get just the new beginning we want if we pray hard enough.
New beginnings are hard work.
New beginnings usually mean something has been lost.
New beginnings can be exciting, or painful, or both
            and they are usually scary.
But when we pray, work, and open our hearts to God’s love and healing,
            our lives can be transformed
            and we can find new beginnings we dared not hope for.
As Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians,
            God, by the power at work within us,
            is able to accomplish far more than all we can ask or imagine.
The discernment guild has offered a series of Bible verses for us to pray with throughout January, inviting us to consider God’s offer of new life and new beginnings.
The first was from Isaiah 43:
18Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old.
 19I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
            I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
As a community, we have come through a time of loss, struggle and uncertainty.
We come into 2015 ready for new beginnings,
            as we prepare for the leadership of a new rector.
But I believe this past year we have already seen rivers in the desert,
            new life springing forth among us,
                        even as we hold our breath, waiting for a new day.
We have worked hard together,
            continuing in our faithfulness to our baptismal promises,
            trusting in God’s promise to lead us and guide us.
And our work is just beginning
New beginnings are exciting an a bit scary,
            and often don’t go just as we expect them to.
New leadership will bring new opportunities for service and involvement.
We pray to be led into new ministries of service and love,
            and we seek to share the good news
            that each person is known and loved by God.
We continue to trust God to make a way for us into something exciting and new.

One of my favorite prayers is from the Lutheran baptismal rite.
It is prayed over the baptized, and also used also in the renewal of baptismal vows.
This is the prayer I offer for each of you, and for our community, today:
We give you thanks, O God, that through water and the Holy Spirit you give us new birth, cleanse us from sin, and raise us to eternal life. Stir up in your people the gift of your Holy Spirit: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord, the spirit of joy in your presence, both now and forever.

Amen.

Sermon, David Martin, January 4

From today’s Gospel: “Then opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”
Please, be seated.
We are here on a very confusing day in our church calendar.  Technically, we are still in the season of Christmas.  Remember those twelve days of Christmas?  Today is day #11.  Hey!  Where are my 11 pipers piping?
The celebration of Epiphany is this Tuesday, January 6th.  Epiphany is the Feast Day which celebrates God the son as a human being in Jesus Christ.  In our Western Christian culture it commemorates the visit of the magi as told in today’s gospel.
In our secular world, we are just recovering from New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.  Parties, celebrations, football!
And in our own spiritual community here at St. Michael’s we are anxious about the news from the Search Committee that some candidates for the position of our new rector will coming to Albuquerque soon to check us out and to be checked out.
I think today as we wrap up Christmas and head into Epiphany and head into a new year with anticipation, I’d like to think about giving one more gift.
(sing)
Baby Jesus - pa rum pa pum pum
I am a poor child too - pa rum pa pum pum
I have no gift to bring - pa rum pa pum pum 
That’s fit to give a king - pa rum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum
Shall I play for you - pa rum pa pum pum
On my drum
We all know Christmas doesn’t technically start until Christmas Day and then we’ve got twelve full days to celebrate the birth of the Sweet Little Baby Jesus.  However, that is hard to do in our society.  We are force fed Christmas carols in every grocery and big box store since a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving.  Retailers try to get us to buy everything under the sun for our gift giving on Christmas Day.  Then they are done with Christmas once all the paper wrapping has been ripped to shreds.  It’s hard to maintain the Christmas spirit all through the 12 days of Christmas when the Walgreen’s just down 4th Street has already started displaying heart-shaped boxes of candy for Valentine’s Day.
But in today’s gospel, we heard about those people from the east – wise ones, sages, magi, astrologers – who came to worship Jesus and presented him with priceless treasures: gold as a precious metal, frankincense as perfume or incense, and myrrh as an anointing oil.  All these gifts were the perfect things to offer a king.
Our Christmas gift giving is probably complete.  But let’s think about one more gift (or maybe even several more gifts) we can give.  What gifts can we give to our Savior? 
(sing)
What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb.
If I were a wise man,
I would do my part.
Yet what I can, I’ll give Him.
Give Him my heart.
Both of the songs I referenced today refer to the singer as being “poor.”  I feel somewhat hypocritical standing up here and singing those lyrics.  I freely admit I have enough money to buy a really spiffy gift for Jesus.  But we have talked (and talked and talked and talked) about monetary gifts to our church during our stewardship campaign.  That is a very important part of what we do here at St. Michael’s.  And I encourage all of us to constantly think about the financial treasures we can share with our church home to do the work God has given us to do.
But today I am talking about giving of ourselves.  And in that respect we probably all are a little poor.  These gifts are often called time and talent.  What do we, as children of God – as individuals with unique talents – have to offer as a gift to our new-born Savior?
I am going to share a story which I think embodies the true meaning of giving a gift.  A couple of weeks before Christmas, I joined part of my faith community who attends St. Chad’s Church.  Fr. Brian Winter asked us to share with each other stories about the Christmas gift we had received which meant the most to us – and to also talk about the gift we had given which meant the most.
I will admit I was somewhat stumped by the assignment.  Off the top of my head I couldn’t think about a significant gift to share.  And then it hit me.  The gift I had received which meant the most to me, only meant that much in retrospect.
It was 1966.  I was 5 years old.  I received a Barbie doll.
A Barbie doll.
I don’t remember asking for a doll or even expressing interest in one.  But quite obviously I had because it is a fact that in 1966 – in Hannibal, Missouri – no parents would have thought “Gee….I’ll bet our 5 year-old son would love a Barbie doll for Christmas.  What a great gift idea for a little boy.”  I am not sure 50 years later there are many parent who would do such a thing.
But my loving parents, supportive of their son - who was clearly thinking outside the box way back then - got me a Barbie doll.  I imagine it was not an easy purchase for them to make or an easy gift for them to give.  But the photos of that Christmas show me with a big smile on my face holding up that doll by the Christmas tree.
A true gift isn’t something the giver wants to give.  A true gift is something the receiver really wants to get.
What does Jesus want from us? 
The magi, we are told, brought gifts fit for a king.  What gift do we have that could possibly measure up?
Give Jesus yourself.  (And I’m not talking about saying a few words about accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.  I’m not saying that is a bad thing.  Go for it.  But I suspect Jesus would appreciate some concrete actions to back up those words.)
Whatever you are doing right now – do more.  If you aren’t doing much – or doing anything – then maybe this sounds like an easy opportunity for you.  If you are already doing a lot for your church and for the good of all humankind, then this might be a little tough for you.  (However, I suspect it’s exactly the other way around.)
I am not standing up here and saying that it isn’t important to spend time on yourself or with your family and friends.  Those are very important things to do for your well-being.  But giving a gift which truly means something should not be easy as clicking an item on someone’s wish list on Amazon.com and having it shipped to their address. 
I want us all to give Jesus a gift that truly means something. 
I can’t tell each of you what your gift should be.  But a good place to start is always prayer.  Pray about what you might give as a gift to Jesus.  And renew your prayer life – even in small increments each day.
Do something which will enhance your spiritual life.  Join a Bible study.  What’s that you say?  Don’t know of any?  Then start a Bible study!  Read a book about a Christian subject.  Share it with a friend.  Discuss it with a friend.  Start a book group.
Do something to help your church.  Become a servant of worship.  Decide to overcome your fear of standing at the front of the church and become an acolyte.  Join the altar guild.  Volunteer at the food pantry.  Become a Eucharistic visitor.
Do something that will help humankind – something to spread the love of God into the world.  Volunteer for a charity.  Start a charity.  Visit that person in your neighborhood who doesn’t have any family close by.  Tutor!  Mentor!  Get involved.
And while I’m being your personal shopper for a gift, let me offer a suggestion of something Jesus probably doesn’t want.  Don’t complain – about anything!  If you see something that isn’t right or isn’t to your liking – do something about it.  Jesus wants us to be doers.  Jesus wants us to get out there, roll up our sleeves, and get our hands dirty.
And no one is a mind reader.  If you need help with something – ask for it.  As I told my mother earlier this week:  sometimes giving a gift is the act of accepting a gift.
I believe Jesus calls us to listen to each other and buy a little boy a Barbie doll.  I believe Jesus calls us attempt to help the person in line at the Quick Trip who might not smell so good and who needs an extra dollar to purchase a bottle of water.  I believe Jesus calls us to feel intimidated and afraid and nervous as we venture into the world to feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, tend the sick, visit those in prison and alone, talk to the marginalized.
Give til it hurts.
Make your gift mean something by giving of yourself.  Give of yourself by giving your time and your talent.
(sing)
Were the whole realm
Of nature mine
That were an offering
Far too small
Love so amazing
So divine
Demands my soul,
My life my all.
