Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan January 18, 1998 Transcription of the spoken sermon Confidence is a very common word used to describe the level of trust one has in oneself, in another, in the truth of a claim or reality of a situation. The word, as so many words in our English vocabulary, stems from the Latin: The prefix con, meaning with and fidere meaning trust. To live with confidence is to live with trust. Trust in what? A variety of answers are possible. One may have self-confidence in regard to one’s ability to perform one’s task or to negotiate some difficult feat. One may have confidence in one’s favorite team. In Green Bay, confidence runs high in the Packers only one week away from America’s Holy Sunday. One may have confidence in the people with whom one works, one’s spouse, one’s family. Obviously, one may have confidence in the goodness and mercy of God. But I want us to think about confidence more generally today at the top of another year. I want to think about confidence as a fundamental attitude over against the whole of one’s life, life itself and the attitude we share together as a faith community. Those who study human development point to the critical importance of fundamental trust as the foundation for a healthy adjustment to life. Trust not with a specific object attached to it, but trust as a basic orientation to life and reality. Studies in child development tell us nothing is more important for the nurturing of an infant through the earliest experience than the creation of a secure and loving environment in which the infant, the child, learns to trust. We know it is so. We know it is true for ourselves and we see it borne out in those around us. Healthy, whole, fruitful, productive people are marked by confidence; they live with trust. Where does it come from? © Grand Valley State University   �Confidence Richard A. Rhem Page 2   If one learns very early to trust or not, it must be passed on from generation to generation. But, where did it begin and on what is it based? Certainly trust in life’s goodness and ultimate meaningfulness is not obvious from simple observation of the human experience. Life is fragile, full of peril, haunted by tragedy. Experience is mixed. When one stops to think about it, trust cannot rise from experience. Concrete experience can often be the acid that eats away at trust. As I said at Christmas, children love fairy tales because, while filled with danger and darkness, things turn out all right and the good folk live happily ever after. But, it is not so in life - any honest appraisal will in the end reveal human experience as mixed. Still, there is something in us that goes on, picks up again, trusts again. And this is true of religious people and those who practice no religious faith consciously. Let me suggest that for the religious consciously and the non-religious unconsciously, confidence is rooted in trust in the goodness and mercy of God that at the heart and center of reality is God Who is for us, for life. Let me point you to the morning lessons which speak of confidence rooted in God. Second Isaiah, as we call the unknown prophet of chapters 40-55, sings of an eternal covenant of peace to the exiles of Judah living in Babylon. They were on the edge of despair thinking their God of covenant, Yahweh, had abandoned them, or had been overruled by the gods of the mighty Babylonian Empire. But the prophet begins to preach to them, interprets their experience and tells them stories of their past and encourages them to trust that God will yet deliver them. They will go home! He begins the poem recorded in chapter 54 with a call to the barren one to sing; she who was barren will birth many children. Therefore, the tent must be enlarged, the curtains stretched out, the stakes strengthened, the cords lengthened, for "You will spread out." The allusion to the barren woman would not be lost on these exiles. Who was the classic barren one in Israel’s past? Sarah, of course. You have heard me claim many times that Genesis 11:30 is a critical watershed in the biblical narrative. The first eleven chapters of Genesis record the repeated failure of humankind to live into the intention of the Creator and then God tries a new strategy - choosing one family in order to bless eventually all families of the earth. And how does God begin? With Sarah, who is barren. © Grand Valley State University �Confidence Richard A. Rhem Page 3   And not only Sarah, but Rebekah and Rachel and Hannah. The prophet of the exiles played on the memory of his people to remind them that precisely in barrenness, God acts to effect fruitfulness. And then, if that is not enough to trigger the rebirth of trust, he reminds them in verse nine of Noah. Out of the devastation of the Flood, God placed a rainbow in the sky as a sign of God’s promise that never again would the earth be destroyed. God’s faithfulness to Creation was signed with the rainbow. The Covenant with Noah preceded the covenant with Abraham and Sarah. With Abraham and Sarah, God sealed a Covenant of Grace with a particular family with the intention of reaching all families, but with Noah, the covenant promise embraced the whole Creation. Would not that story remind Israel that Yahweh was no tribal deity limited to their homeland, but the One Eternal God, Creator of all? Stories. They are the stuff of human confidence. When trust wears thin, we tell a story of what God has done and we find our confidence renewed that God will give us a future. Stories of faith. Remember and trust; trust God. Paul was a son of Israel and when he experienced the blinding vision on the Road to Damascus, he came to believe Jesus was indeed the Messiah, the anointed one through whom God was effecting that universal intention of the covenant of Grace sealed with Abraham and Sarah. We noted that last week; the secret hidden long ages with God was now being manifest. Paul was amazed and transformed. Now there would be no longer, as he wrote to the Galatians, Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, but all one in Christ Jesus. And, he adds, if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise. No more barriers dividing humankind; No more hostility, No more outsiders and insiders. Thus transformed, the former persecutor of the people of the Way became the passionate Apostle of grace, the grace of God that is as wide as the whole human family. One of the ancient cities to which he took the story of God’s grace was Philippi, where a congregation was formed, a community with whom Paul had his most intimate relationship. There was a deep love affair between Paul and the Philippian congregation as is evident from his letter to that church. © Grand Valley State University �Confidence Richard A. Rhem Page 4   That letter begins with a rather extended thanksgiving - thanksgiving to God for this people who had stayed in touch with him and provided for his needs. Now in prison awaiting trial in the Imperial Court of Rome, Paul writes to express his deep affection for this people who joined him in a partnership in the Gospel. And in the midst of his expression of gratitude, he writes, I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. Here the confidence has a specific object - that the work of grace begun among this people by God will be brought to completion. That confidence is, however, based on Paul’s fundamental trust in God - the God of the beginning is the God Who will be at the ending. Once again we find that Paul’s specific confidence is rooted in that basic confidence in God. Paul’s confidence was not based on experience; he was in prison. He would die for his faith. But, the particular circumstance did not dislodge Paul’s confidence. Indeed, he writes, the circumstance of imprisonment had actually resulted in an increase in the witness to the Gospel. I want you to know, beloved, that what has happened to me has actually helped to spread the gospel. The Imperial Guard received Paul’s witness; others gained confidence through Paul’s imprisonment and bore their witness with greater boldness, and even, what might have defeated a lesser person, some took advantage of Paul’s imprisonment to further their own rival point of view. But, says Paul, so what? Christ is preached. I rejoice. What lies behind this remarkable grace? Is it not Paul’s confidence that God is at work in what seems the most adverse circumstances? Confidence - a very great gift; a healthy way to live and engage life. Living with such trust, Paul rested easily. This restless, passionate Apostle who traveled the ancient world as a man with a mission of eternal significance found inner serenity as he contemplated the turn of events because, through it all, he trusted God. That was the bedrock of his life. Telling Paul’s story does for me what the prophet telling the stories of Abraham and Sarah and Noah did for the exiles in Babylon. Faith is renewed, trust restored when we remember - remember the stories of those who have gone on before us. There was a lovely celebration here last Sunday. There was joy. We have been through deep waters, but can we not say with Paul that what has happened to us has actually resulted in the furtherance of this work of grace? Is that not the © Grand Valley State University �Confidence Richard A. Rhem Page 5   wonder of it all - that the challenge and the struggle have positioned us with new freedom and joy to find our way to the embodiment of God’s grace here for the healing of persons? I could go back over the years to the times this text has been used here watershed moments when we were challenged to move out in a new dimension of faith. Always the ground was the God Who has begun a good work here and surely will not let it languish, but will bring it to completion. Confidence. It is a gift. It is the way to live freely, fruitfully, because it is a life rooted in God and the trust that God is for us. God will go with us, will keep us and will finally bring us home. All will be well. You can trust that, not because things work out, but because God is God. © Grand Valley State University � https://digitalcollections.library.gvsu.edu/files/original/e6e1d45af7daf1bb63a3b1c79c73bee4.mp3 fd6f0e7425e6f59c316ff20f0466fc78 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

Lord, many are tired and lonely; Teach us to be their friends. Many are anxious and afraid; Help us to calm their fears. Some are tortured in body and mind; Imbue them with courage and strength. Others in their emptiness seek only wealth, fame or power; Teach them to value other gifts than these. And some live with death in their souls; they are stunned, vtolent and filled with hate; Give us wisdom to save them from the wastelands of the spirit. And teach us to show our love; let compassion and knowledge combine for the welfare of all Your children That all may know they are not alone. We are not alone when God is in our heart and actions. We Join together, men, women and children with an openess to see and feel the HOLY ONE, blessed be He.

Page 144 - 145 RABBI Generation after generation, since first our people stood at Sinai and accepted the Torah, we have sought to Iive by its commandments to love God and man. We have upheld its teachings even when suffering was the price of our devotion. Thus we keep alive in the world a message that brings hope and healing, brotherhood and peace to al I mankind. 11 Not with you only do I make this covenant; but with him that stands with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day." With these words, spoken at Sinai, our forefathers received the Torah for themselves and for all the ages to come. You, our children, are the next generation in the chain of Jewish tradition. Take this Torah now and make it your own. Confirmand (Holding Torah) With gratitude and pride we, the members of this confirmation class, now receive the Torah. We accept its doctrines as our holy discipline and guide. As our fathers cherished and preserved the Torah throughout the generations, so it is our duty to study it and strive to live by its commandments, so it is our prayer that we may prove worthy of this sacred gift, and that we shall transmit it to those who come after us. Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad Hear O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is One. Choir: Reading from the Torah De utronomy 5-6 Hebrew and English Prophets - Book of Ruth, Chapter 1 �PRAYER BY ALL CONFIRMANDS With joy, our God, we members of this Confirmation Closs come before Thee in this gladsome season of the year. At this time, we remember the day of Sinai, when Israel entered into a Covenant with Thee to become a Kingdom of Priests and a holy nation. With Thy law in their hearts, Thy people has gone forth as Thy witness and amidst deadly foes and endeavoring flames has proclaimed Thy name in all the earth. Through the ages Israel has been faithful to Thee. He found strength in trowle, light in darkness and hope in adversity. In the same spirit, 0 Lord, we Thy children come before Thee and renew the vow of our Fathers. Imbue us with true knowledge and discernment and guide us in the paths of Thy wisdom, so that we may live by Thy laws and precepts. May Thy spirit which rested upon our Fathers and Mothers never depart from us. Grant that the truth revealed to Israel may become the possession of al I men, and that the time not be distant when all the children on earth shall recognize Thee as their God and father.
