Barbara Brown Taylor once asked: "Do we still believe in a God with power to transform us...or have we come to an unspoken agreement that our God is pretty old and tired by now, someone to whom we may address our prayer requests but not anyone we really expect to change our lives?" In this sermon delivered at Salem, Oregon's First Congregational United Church of Christ, The Rev. Chuck Currie looks at three difficult texts (Exodus 35:2, Leviticus 25:39-46, and 1 Tim 2:11-12) and then the promise made by Jesus in John 14:15-21 to send forth an Advocate, the Holy Spirit, and concludes that we have the responsibility to see the world in new ways and grow in faith.
