-	Psalmist writes,	17:12
	"I was glad when they said unto me,	17:13
	"'Let us go into the house of the Lord.'"	17:16
	O Lord, send out your light and your truth,	17:19
	that they may lead us and bring us unto your holy hill,	17:22
	and to your dwelling place.	17:27
	Grace be unto you and peace, from the Lord our God,	17:30
	and from blessed savior even Jesus the Christ.	17:36
	Let us together now, confess our sins.	17:40
	Let us pray.	17:45
	O Lord, our God, you have built into our personalities	17:55
	a yearning, for both adventure, and security,	18:00
	that have sought the safety of things,	18:03
	rather than security of your love,	18:06
	instead of getting involved in the service of your kingdom,	18:09
	we reserved our limited time and energy for ourselves.	18:13
	We have tried to satisfy our life-seeking spirits,	18:18
	by pursuing outmarks of outward success,	18:23
	by striving to attain the status symbols of our day,	18:27
	by experimenting with sex without love,	18:31
	by getting our thrills through the loss,	18:34
	or misfortune of others.	18:37
	O Lord, we are tired and bored of doing what we want to do,	18:39
	rather than what our souls and spirits need us to do.	18:45
	Gracious God, forgive us.	18:49
	Let us taste and know your amazing grace,	18:52
	in the depths of our hearts.	18:55
	O God, we want to grow.	18:58
	We know in our hearts that we should accept the challenge	19:01
	of total allegiance to Christ and the kingdom of God.	19:04
	So jar is loose from the tight security of little Lord self,	19:09
	out into abundant adventure on the way of your cross.	19:14
	O Lord, give us the strength and the courage	19:19
	to believe and to trust in you and your mercy,	19:23
	through Jesus Christ we pray.	19:27
	(church organ music)	19:31
	Our Lord Jesus has said,	20:13
	"Come into me, all you who labor, and are heavy laden,	20:14
	"and I will give you rest.	20:19
	Take your burdens to the Lord,	20:23
	and you will find rest for your souls.	20:25
	If We confess our sins, God is faithful and just,	20:30
	and will forgive our sins and cleanse us	20:34
	from all unrighteousness.	20:37
	In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare unto you,	20:41
	our sins are forgiven, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.	20:45
	Amen.	20:53
	Let us give thanks, for God is good,	20:56
	and God's love is everlasting.	21:00
	(congregation murmuring prayers)	21:04
	Amen.	21:20
	May I welcome you to this Service of Worship.	21:22
	If this is your first time to be in Duke Chapel,	21:25
	or if you are a visitor here,	21:29
	we say a special word of welcome to you.	21:31
	If you worship here regularly,	21:35
	it is good to have share in this blessed hour,	21:37
	and in this holy service with us.	21:39
	May I remind you, that this afternoon at five o'clock,	21:44
	in the Chapel here, there will be a organ concert,	21:46
	given by Professor Harold Andrews,	21:49
	with the faculty of Greensboro College in Greensboro.	21:52
	You are invited and are asked to encourage others to come,	21:57
	and share in that very special service.	21:59
	On Thursday afternoon of this week,	22:04
	the university community will serve a very special	22:06
	service here in the chapel,	22:09
	as the new dean of the Duke Divinity School	22:11
	will be installed.	22:15
	He is Dr. Jamison Jones,	22:18
	who has previously served as president	22:19
	of Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado.	22:22
	Members of this congregation of the Duke community,	22:27
	and the community at large are invited to come and share	22:30
	in that very special service.	22:33
	The preacher for today, is the Reverend Charlene Camer,	22:37
	the sys-administer, preaching of the subject,	22:41
	walking through the valley of the shadow.	22:45
	Charlene, we pray God's blessing on you,	22:49
	as you speak to us and bring the word to us today.	22:51
-	Let us pray.	23:03
	Almighty and most merciful God,	23:07
	you have given the Bible to be the revelation	23:09
	of your great love to us,	23:12
	and of your power and will to save us.	23:15
	Grant that our study of it may not be in vain,	23:19
	by the callousness or carelessness of our hearts,	23:22
	but that by it, we may be confirmed in penitence.	23:26
	Lift into hope, make strong for service,	23:30
	and above all, filled with the true knowledge of you,	23:34
	and with your son, Jesus Christ.	23:38
	Amen.	23:41
	The Old Testament lesson is Isaiah 40:27-31.	23:44
	"Why do you say, O Jacob,	23:52
	"and speak, O Israel,	23:56
	"'My way is hidden from the Lord,	23:58
	"'and my right is disregarded by my God?'	24:01
	"Have you not known?	24:05
	"Have you not heard?	24:07
	"The Lord is the everlasting God,	24:09
	"the Creator of the ends of the earth.	24:12
	"He does not faint or grow weary;	24:16
	"his understanding is unsearchable.	24:19
	"He gives power to the faint,	24:23
	"and to him who has no might he increases strength.	24:25
	"Even youths shall faint and be weary,	24:31
	"and young men shall fall exhausted;	24:35
	"but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;	24:38
	"they shall mount up with wings like eagles;	24:44
	"they shall run and not be weary;	24:49
	"they shall walk and not faint."	24:52
	Here ends the reading from the Old Testament.	24:56
	Amen.	25:00
	The epical lesson, is from Romans 8:31-39.	25:02
	"What then shall we say to these this?	25:12
	"If God is for us, who is against us?	25:15
	"He who did not spare his own Son,	25:19
	"but gave him up for us all,	25:23
	"will he not also give us all things with him?	25:26
	"Who shall bring any charge against God's elect?	25:31
	"It is God who justifies.	25:35
	"Who is to condemn?	25:39
	"Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes,	25:41
	"who was raised from the dead,	25:46
	"who is at the right hand of God,	25:48
	"who indeed intercedes for us.	25:51
	"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?	25:55
	"Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,	26:01
	"or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?	26:06
	"As it is written,	26:14
	"'For thy sake we are being killed all the day long;	26:16
	"'we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.'	26:20
	"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors	26:25
	"through him who loved us.	26:32
	"For I am sure that neither death nor life,	26:34
	"nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present,	26:38
	"nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth,	26:44
	"nor anything else in all creation,	26:51
	"will be able to separate us from the love of God	26:54
	in Christ Jesus, our Lord.	26:58
	Here ends the reading from the epical lesson.	27:01
	(church organ music)	27:11
	(church choir murmuring hymns)	27:22
	Will the congregation please stand	32:14
	for the reading of the gospel lesson?	32:16
	The gospel lesson is from John 14:1-7.	32:23
	"'Let not your hearts be troubled.	32:33
	"'Believe in God; believe also in me.	32:36
	"'In my Father's house are many rooms.	32:41
	"'If it were not so, would I have told you	32:46
	"'that I go to prepare a place for you?	32:50
	"'And when I go and prepare a place for you,	32:53
	"'I will come again and will take you to myself,	32:57
	"'that where I am you may be also.	33:01
	"'And you know the way to where I am going.'	33:05
	"'Thomas said to him,	33:10
	"'Lord, we do not know where you are going.	33:12
	"'How can we know the way?'	33:16
	"'Jesus said to him,	33:18
	"'I am the way, and the truth, and the life.	33:20
	"'No one comes to the Father but by me.	33:25
	"'If you had known me,	33:30
	"'you would have known my Father also.	33:33
	"'Henceforth, you know him and have seen him.'"	33:36
	Here ends the reading from the gospel lesson.	33:41
	Amen.	33:45
	(church organ music)	33:46
	(church choir murmuring hymns)	33:53
-	There are times in our lives when we actually live	34:57
	the drama of the Christian year.	35:01
	This epiphany season has been one of those times for me,	35:05
	and painfully so.	35:10
	As Christians, we are given the promise	35:14
	in the season of epiphany,	35:16
	that out of darkness, a great light will shine.	35:19
	The gospel message is that signs of darkness in the world,	35:24
	and all the evil, will be overcome,	35:30
	with the great light of hope,	35:35
	ushered into our world by the advents	35:38
	of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.	35:41
	In times of personal darkness,	35:47
	when sorrow and grief fill our lives and our hearts,	35:50
	it is hard to claim that promise of faith.	35:55
	But, perhaps it is enough to that cling to that belief,	36:04
	that promise of faith.	36:10
	And perhaps, it is enough to simply stand,	36:14
	and walk through the darkness,	36:19
	the darkness that is the valley of the shadow.	36:26
	As some of you here already know,	36:31
	these last two month have been a stretch of darkness	36:35
	for my family and for me.	36:38
	My younger brother Al, committed suicide,	36:41
	last stood in this pulpit.	36:48
	For that reason alone,	36:55
	I'm no longer the same person I was then.	36:57
	My life, and the life of many others, has been changed.	37:04
	In fact, my own life has been called into question	37:11
	by this death.	37:16
	An appropriate question for you, right now,	37:22
	might well be,	37:27
	why should one young man's death	37:30
	lay claim to anyone of us?	37:34
	Particularly, since some of us are already overtaxed	37:38
	with sorrow of our own.	37:43
	There is no reason at all, except that this story,	37:47
	his story, is the one that I know as his sister,	37:51
	and his death raises again, for me, and I believe	37:56
	for all of us, the ageless questions about meaning,	38:01
	with which sooner or later, everyone must deal.	38:07
	Further, I really believe	38:13
	that we in the church are a family	38:16
	bound together as brothers and sisters, in Jesus Christ.	38:20
	Therefore, what happens to anyone of us,	38:27
	does make a difference to all of us.	38:31
	As one of very close friends recently wrote	38:36
	in a letter of sympathy,	38:40
	"A wasted human life is great tragedy for all of us."	38:42
	Of late, I have found great comfort	38:49
	in John Claypool's book of sermons,	38:53
	entitled, "Tracks of a Fellow Struggler".	38:56
	For here, is a preacher who was bold enough,	39:00
	and humble enough to share with his congregation,	39:06
	a time of darkness in his own family,	39:11
	when his small daughter fought	39:15
	a losing battle with leukemia.	39:17
	My compelling need to share out of this personal experience	39:22
	with death, I believe is reflected in his words,	39:26
	to his church.	39:30
	I certainly do not want to exploit	39:33
	this very personal situation,	39:35
	neither do I want to unburned you on doing,	39:39
	but I have to try to tell you what I am learning	39:43
	in the darkness.	39:48
	It is my strong conviction that God speaks to us	39:51
	in times of darkness and deep despair.	39:56
	Part of the problem with suicide deaths,	40:02
	is that no one wants to talk about it,	40:06
	and especially to name it.	40:10
	The fact that a person makes the decision	40:14
	to end his own life, is somehow extremely threatening	40:17
	to all of us.	40:22
	There have been some moments since my brother's death,	40:27
	that seems from the film "Ordinary People",	40:31
	have crowded themselves across my mind.	40:35
	You remember Conrad, the Chicago North Shore teenager?	40:40
	He has become a very real person to me.	40:45
	This main character has spent some time	40:49
	in a mental institution for attempting suicide.	40:52
	This happened after a boating accident,	40:59
	in which he survived, and his older brother drowned.	41:01
	We see him returning to high school for his senior year,	41:06
	and finding out that he cannot do anything right.	41:10
	He perpetually has nightmares about the accident.	41:15
	And, we discover Calvin, his father,	41:20
	who denies that anything is wrong.	41:24
	The suicide attempt is never discussed in that house.	41:29
	The father assumes that something	41:34
	will change for the better, given time.	41:37
	We discover that the mother, who cannot communicate at all,	41:42
	any feelings that she has with her family,	41:48
	and yet, when you place her in a party,	41:51
	she always says just the right things.	41:54
	Ordinary people, their world is very orderly,	41:59
	but signs of breakdown are present.	42:04
	To me, on one level, this film is about the modern family,	42:09
	as it tries to muster its resources to deal with tragedy.	42:14
	On another level, this film has an answer to the question,	42:20
	what must I do to be saved, for the person of Conrad,	42:26
	and for him, the beginning of salvation	42:32
	lies in the process of psychoanalysis.	42:36
	For we see that Conrad is able, in time,	42:41
	to examine his feelings about his dead brother,	42:45
	about his mother and father, and to tell his mother,	42:50
	that he loves her,	42:55
	thus effectively forgiving her,	42:57
	for the fact that she is incapable of loving him.	43:02
	In religious terms, Conrad has encountered grace	43:07
	in his life.	43:12
	It's seems to me that all of us, in some sense,	43:16
	are these ordinary people.	43:20
	We do come unglued when confronted with a tragedy,	43:24
	and a tragedy like suicide.	43:29
	I'm aware that we even try to express our discomfort	43:33
	in a humorous way.	43:38
	Every time now, that I hear the T.V. program, "MAS*H",	43:41
	and the theme song, "Suicide is Painless",	43:46
	is played over and over again.	43:50
	But my friends, the fact is,	43:55
	it is very painful to be aware of another person's pain,	43:58
	and not be able to do anything about it.	44:03
	It is to step into life's darkness,	44:09
	recognizing that the suicide victim	44:13
	has given up on life.	44:16
	According Hugh Prather, a counselor,	44:21
	the suicidal person thinks that he has been treated unfairly	44:26
	and even attacked by others,	44:30
	attacked by his own body and by life itself.	44:34
	Somehow, by taking into his own hands,	44:40
	the power of attack, and using it against himself,	44:43
	he can put an end to the misery,	44:48
	that otherwise seems endless.	44:51
	This rational explanation of suicide	44:56
	is only helpful up to a point.	45:01
	For there are at times, for all of us,	45:05
	who are left behind to deal with the questions of life,	45:09
	the repeated questions of why's and what if's.	45:14
	What could I have done that might have made a difference?	45:20
	The potential for guilt for all of us,	45:27
	in the case of suicide, is immense.	45:30
	It would be easy to place blame on ourselves,	45:34
	but isn't it the case, if anyone of us is responsible	45:38
	for a person's decision to take his own life,	45:44
	are we not all responsible for that,	45:48
	as part of a human family?	45:51
	One of the profound mysteries of suicide death to me,	45:57
	is that its meaning is known and determined	46:02
	by the one who dies, and not ever to any of the onlookers.	46:06
	For me, the final truth, is that no one of us	46:12
	can interpret the meaning of another person's death.	46:17
	I am very aware that my situation of grief is not unique.	46:23
	Many people have shared with me similar times of darkness,	46:29
	and groping for the light of God's presence	46:34
	in there lives.	46:38
	And, I sense that the Old Testament scripture lesson	46:40
	reminds us this morning, that God's people	46:44
	have always known pain and sorrow	46:48
	as a genuine part of life.	46:51
	The passage in Isaiah is addressed to exiled people of God.	46:55
	They too, had fallen on hard times,	47:01
	and they were separated from all their dreams and hopes.	47:05
	The prophet bids them to remember,	47:10
	what they have learned of God in better times.	47:14
	Have you not known?	47:18
	Have you not heard what God is like?	47:21
	God is the everlasting Lord,	47:25
	creator of the ends of the earth.	47:29
	"God is mysterious", Isaiah proclaimed.	47:32
	Our God is a God of life and death.	47:37
	God's understanding about life and death is insearchable.	47:42
	God does not grow weary or faint.	47:48
	Best of all, God gives power to the faint,	47:53
	and to those who have no might,	47:59
	those who have no strength and no answers.	48:02
	God increases strength.	48:07
	It was this vision of God,	48:12
	already made known in their history,	48:15
	that the exiles were called to remember and apply,	48:18
	to their situation.	48:22
	I believe it is the same with us.	48:25
	God calls us to remember who God is,	48:29
	and God will renew our strength.	48:33
	And so, in times of death's darkness,	48:38
	what do we do?	48:43
	I believe that we have to face the darkness honestly,	48:46
	and we have to name it.	48:52
	We have to grief, to mourn, to cry out,	48:55
	before we are ever able to let go of life.	49:01
	I've come to know again,	49:07
	that the most powerful kind of caring	49:10
	for people in a situation like this,	49:14
	is simply to be there, to be present,	49:16
	to be close by, to be with someone.	49:21
	We do not have to be strong.	49:26
	We do not have to be courageous,	49:29
	we only have to be human in our fear and our loss.	49:32
	For I believe that it is God, who can gather all of our	49:38
	hurt and pain, and sadness, and carry it for us.	49:43
	We are not alone,	49:49
	that is God's inexpressible gift to us.	49:51
	I believe by the grace of God,	49:57
	we are able to bear darkness until we are ready	50:01
	to see glimmers of light in life.	50:06
	This I know, we can stand and walk,	50:12
	and even be comforted in the midst	50:18
	of the valley of the shadow of death.	50:23
	And I say, thanks to be God	50:26
	for this great mystery,	50:31
	and this great hope.	50:34
	Amen.	50:38
	(church organ music)	50:43

	♪ Amen ♪	53:04
-	Lord, give me such a faith as this,	53:13
	and then what there may come.	53:15
	I'll taste Thee now, the hallowed bliss of an eternal home.	53:19
	Having heard the word for (murmurs),	53:25
	let us now affirm what we believe.	53:28
	We believe in God,	53:33
	who has created and is creating,	53:35
	who has come in the truly human Jesus,	53:38
	to reconcile and make new,	53:42
	who works in us and others by the Spirit.	53:45
	We trust God,	53:48
	who calls us to be the church,	53:50
	to celebrate life in its fullness,	53:53
	to love and serve others,	53:57
	to seek justice and resist evil,	53:59
	to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,	54:02
	our judge and our hope.	54:06
	In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us.	54:09
	We are not alone.	54:16
	Thanks be to God.	54:18
	I don't know about you, but I believe,	54:22
	and more so now I think then ever before in my life,	54:24
	in the power of intercessory prayer.	54:29
	For months now, we have seen the news,	54:35
	and read the newspapers about the tragedies in Atlanta.	54:40
	We individually, may have expressed our concern,	54:49
	but this morning during the time of prayer,	54:52
	I would like for us to express	54:56
	our corporate communal concern.	54:59
	Last evening, you have seen or heard,	55:04
	that the 20th child has now been found dead.	55:06
	That troubles me, 'cause I know it troubles you,	55:14
	not only for the 20 children who have died,	55:19
	and for their families,	55:24
	but can you imagine with me,	55:26
	the terror, and the fear, in the hearts and souls	55:28
	of the children who are still alive, and of their families?	55:32
	So, believing in God my friends,	55:39
	and believing very deeply in the power of prayer,	55:42
	that God can do something	55:46
	if we pray earnestly and faithfully for that to happen	55:47
	during the time of prayer in just a moment.	55:53
	Let us pray for these children and for something to happen,	55:59
	that will be in keeping with God's will.	56:04
	The lord be with you.	56:10
	(congregation murmuring)
	Let us pray.	56:13
	Almighty Lord, and our blessed God,	56:21
	we pause these moments to give you thanks	56:25
	for the simple things of life, for rest and sleep,	56:27
	for renewal and for good health,	56:30
	for work and tasks to do,	56:34
	for goals to seek,	56:37
	and for the strength and the will to do them,	56:39
	for all the beautiful and good, and exciting surroundings	56:42
	of our lives,	56:45
	for all that we know that makes life	56:48
	both desirable and enjoyable.	56:51
	We pray, O Lord, that through your spirit,	56:55
	you will raise our thoughts and purify our longings.	56:59
	Strengthen our wills, we beg you,	57:04
	to put us on the side of what is good and holy,	57:06
	and to help us to stand against	57:10
	all that is destructive and evil.	57:12
	Throw us now Lord, as we reflect	57:18
	upon your word proclaimed to us, close to you.	57:21
	Help us to know you as our God,	57:27
	the God of our mothers and our fathers,	57:29
	the God of all of our brothers and sisters,	57:32
	to know you as the one who turns	57:36
	the shadow of death into morning,	57:38
	the one who gives who light to the face of this earth,	57:42
	the one who overcomes our darkness with light,	57:46
	the one banishes night and brings back the day,	57:49
	the one who lights our lives that we sleep not in death.	57:54
	Indeed, the one who carries us through	58:00
	the valley of the shadow of death,	58:02
	to the light that is everlasting.	58:05
	The one will who support each of us and all of us	58:09
	in tough, and heavy, and wearying moments.	58:12
	Yes, thanks be to you, O Lord, our God.	58:15
	The light and the life of our	58:19
	every day and our every moment,	58:22
	who God has one people and one voice now.	58:29
	Feel the yearnings and the powers of our hearts and souls.	58:36
	Feel the deep desires which we bring to you now,	58:42
	as one people banded together.	58:45
	To author a special prayer of intercession	58:50
	for the children of Atlanta.	58:53
	Especially, O Lord, we pray for the 20 children	58:57
	who have been murdered.	59:00
	May the light of your presence have drawn them,	59:05
	and be keeping them peacefully	59:07
	in your heavenly kingdom just now.	59:10
	Comfort and support their mothers and fathers,	59:17
	and brothers, and sisters, and friends.	59:20
	Be calm and reassuring presence	59:26
	to all of the other children of Atlanta,	59:31
	filled with fear and terror.	59:34
	And especially now, O God, we pray Thee	59:39
	work diligently through every means possible,	59:42
	to bring horror time to an end,	59:47
	to find and capture those who have destroyed	59:50
	and threatened the lives of others.	59:54
	May they, O God, know your grace,	59:58
	and cease their ways of madness.	1:00:01
	For all who suffer in loss and fear,	1:00:09
	we pray this day.	1:00:14
	O Lord, our God, you have brought us to this,	1:00:18
	the beginning of this new day, and of this new week.	1:00:23
	Help us to live this day and this week,	1:00:28
	in the company of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,	1:00:30
	and in harmony and love with one another,	1:00:34
	through Jesus Christ, our Lord,	1:00:39
	who taught us to pray as we together.	1:00:41
	Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed by Thy name.	1:00:45
	Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,	1:00:50
	on Earth as it is in Heaven.	1:00:54
	Give us this day, our daily bread.	1:00:57
	And forgive us our trespasses,	1:01:00
	as we forgive those who trespass against us.	1:01:03
	And lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil.	1:01:07
	For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.	1:01:12
	Amen.	1:01:19

Title:

Charlene P. Kammerer - "Walking through the Valley of the Shadow" (February 22, 1981)

Description:

Sermon start time: 34:57. Sermon end time: 50:41.
We need to face that which brings us grief in order to move past it, and we need support in this process. One of God’s gifts is that being in the valley of the shadow does not preclude us from being comforted, even before we come to the light. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “So in times of death’s darkness, what do we do? I believe that we have to face the darkness honestly, and we have to name it. We have to grieve. To mourn. To cry out before we are ever able to let go of life. I have come to know that the most powerful form of caring for people in a situation like this is simply to be there, to be present, to be close by, to be with someone. We do not have to be strong, we do not have to be courageous. We only have to be human in our fear and our loss.”
