Title:
Letty Russell - "The Impossible Reality" (March 31, 1974)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 23:21. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 52:54.

  • The seemingly impossibe of service becomes possible not just because it is a command of God but because it is also God's gift and it is God who also serves us and provides for us a model of how we are to serve. The impossible possibility of service is what leads us towards a life of freedom in which everyone wins (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: But I do know that in spite of all the devaluation and misuse and betrayal of the word “service” in churches and society, these words of Jesus continue to lead us toward a life of freedom. These words are about a revolution in which everyone wins, in which everyone finds a way of service and partnership on the road to human freedom.
