Sunday evening sermonMy Sunday evening sermons at Central URC usually head off in some unorthodox directions. I have just been reading Robert Funk's book, Honest to Jesus. In it he writes about how the New Testament writers spent quite a bit of time domesticating Jesus and how it requires a great deal of 'detective work' if we are to attempt to get back to anything close to his original teachings.
Tomorrow evening I am going to talk about how Jesus' teachings and aphorisms about bread were diluted to be marketable to a wider group of believers. I happened across this greeting card which will be included in the service sheet as a point of discussion. For those of you who won't be attending the service this is my second example of some non-pious Lenten humour.

The Gospel writers uniformly have left out the part where the Savior utters: "BAM!"
the picture was funny though, a pastor from my church intepreted that the fish and loaves are actually metaphors, they are Jesus' words, which quenched the thirst of the followers' soul :)
