This is our Summer Jazz Worship Service. We welcome some good friends: Dick Watson, piano, Gary Palmer, bass, Craig Wood, drums, and Lynne Hart, saxophone.

In July of 1776 Thomas Jefferson would write, “All Men are created equal,” In March of that year, Abigail Adams, however, wrote to her husband John: “Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could,” concluding: “That your Sex are Naturally Tyrannical is a Truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute.”

The tyranny of King George was thrown off. Now, as our nation begins its semiquincentennial year, our experiment in democracy is threatened. We are confronted again with the reality that all men would be tyrants if they could.

We are helped by the short lesson from Proverbs that we hear this morning: “Where there is no guidance, a nation fails.” Or as the King James Version translates: “Without a vision, the people perish.”

Scripture Lessons: Proverbs 11:14; Hebrews 11:1-3

Sermon: “Open-eyed Patriotism”

The Rev. Bill Lovin preaching

 

Anthem           “I Want Jesus to Walk with Me”

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
