-	For your presence in our lives.	0:02
	But then we think of all those who feel	0:07
	your absence.	0:11
	Those that feel lonely.	0:14
	Cut off from other people.	0:17
	Cut off from themselves.	0:20
	From you.	0:22
	We thank you for your word.	0:26
	And think of all the ways we that we close	0:29
	our ears to your word.	0:31
	And we admit,	0:33
	we would rather hear your word	0:34
	than do your word.	0:38
	And now God we come to you in prayer.	0:45
	Because we have been reminded in the scripture,	0:50
	and in the sermon	0:52
	of the every day gift of life and bread.	0:55
	But we come to you in prayers for others,	1:01
	because we remember the millions,	1:03
	who have none.	1:07
	Oh giver of bread.	1:13
	Help us to see all the gifts that we have been given.	1:17
	And then help us see these gifts	1:24
	as responsibilities for others.	1:26
	Help us to see the ways in our selfishness,	1:31
	and inquisitiveness denies others	1:34
	their share in your bounty.	1:38
	Help us to see their gaunt faces too.	1:43
	We pray for the hungry.	1:49
	We pray for the empty.	1:53
	For the suffering.	1:58
	Can God set a table in the wilderness?	2:03
	Yes.	2:11
	Thus we believe.	2:14
	And so we have come to you in prayers	2:18
	for those who live in the wilderness,	2:25
	those who are empty.	2:28
	Our brothers and sisters who are hungry.	2:32
	We have prayed for them.	2:37
	And for ourselves.	2:40
	Amen.	2:43
-	Now as a forgiven and reconciled people,	2:50
	let us offer ourselves and our gifts to God.	2:53
	(choral music)	3:16
-	Oh God.	10:55
	You have provided for us.	10:57
	You have sustained us,	10:59
	and carried us through the wilderness,	11:01
	with your love.	11:03
	Out of gratitude for all the gifts	11:05
	that you give us in life.	11:07
	We offer these gifts to you in your name,	11:08
	use them,	11:13
	and use us	11:13
	in your service we pray.	11:15
	Praying in the name of our lord and savior	11:18
	who had mercy upon the hungry,	11:20
	Jesus,	11:24
	who taught us to pray.	11:25
	Our father,	11:28
	who art in heaven.	11:29
	Hallowed be thy name.	11:31
	Thy kingdom come.	11:33
	Thy will be done	11:35
	on earth,	11:37
	as it is in heaven.	11:38
	Give us this day our daily bread.	11:41
	And forgive us our trespasses	11:44
	as we forgive those who trespass against us.	11:47
	And lead us not into temptation.	11:51
	But deliver us from evil.	11:54
	For thine is the kingdom,	11:57
	the power and the glory.	11:59
	Forever.	12:02
	Amen.	12:04
	(choral music)	12:09
-	And now may the love and grace of God,	16:08
	the care of our lord and savior,	16:12
	Jesus Christ go with you as you go forth.	16:13
	Amen.	16:17
	(choral music)	16:23

Title:

Mary M. Fulkerson - "God the Bread-Giver" (August 5, 1984)

Description:

Sermon start time: (Part 1) 24:11. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 44:00.
Reading the “feeding of the five thousand” through the lens of the lack of action by the gluttonous United States on behalf of the famine in Mozambique, Fulkerson describes the lonely place where Jesus is not give space to grieve the death of his cousin John the Baptist – and how, still, in this lonely place, he acts out of an irresistible grace, a bountiful grace; She calls upon the congregation to make small sacrifices out of this theology of bounty, and names where the Kingdom of God is happening in these small acts of God’s abundance. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
