2/9/20 Faith in the Dark Sermon Series - Exodus 19:10-25 FCCBG Sermons
-
- Kristendom
Rev. Megan Huston — As the final sermon in our series “Faith in the Dark” we will explore the places we meet the “Holy of Holies,” places that often transcend both darkness and light. The Hebrew Bible has a term for this: “Araphel.” Barbara Brown Taylor defines araphel as “the thick darkness that reveals the divine presence while obscuring it, the same way the brightness of God’s glory does.”
I have found that I often meet God in unexpected places. Just in the moment when I am expecting the least of God, the Holy of Holies comes and slaps me in the face. (A Godslap, Kyle would say…)
In times of great loss, when you have hit rock bottom, in the person you least wanted to see…
So where do you discover the Holy? Is it in the light? Or the dark? Or maybe a space in between that transcends darkness and light?
