February 5, 2023 - Trailhead: Altar Call (with Bonus Content!) - a podcast by St. Marys UCC, Silver Run, MD

Text: Exodus 16; Luke 24:27-35

 

Altar calls offer a powerful emotional response to the creative Word of God. The response to God’s Word has to be personal; God’s love must be met with a response, with our bodies and our intentions and our will. Why don't liturgical traditions have such a tradition? It turns out that we do. In the sacraments, we respond to the death and resurrection of Christ with all of our lives. When we participate in the sacraments, we participate in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, and there find God's love and mercy in abundance.

Bonus Content:  We had some great thoughts and questions come in about liturgy and the sacraments, so let's have some fun with religion, history, philosophy, and science.  Maybe the sacraments create enchantment, and that is good for our bodies!  It begins at 21:00, for those who want to skip ahead:-)
