In this week’s service, Rev. Dylan Parson opened with a humorous reflection on how spouses often seek opinions on small matters, only to dismiss the feedback if it doesn't align with what they already wanted to do. He then connected this lighthearted experience to the more serious issue of making significant decisions in a relationship, like buying a house or starting a family, where mutual input is crucial. Rev. Parson used this analogy to emphasize the importance of listening to and following Jesus' guidance, noting that while marriage is an equal partnership, our relationship with Jesus is not. We are called to trust and obey His direction fully, even when it’s challenging.
Rev. Parson focused on the story of the rich young man from Mark’s Gospel, who asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life, but ultimately walked away when the answer was not what he wanted to hear. The sermon explored the difficulty of letting go of the things we hold dear-be it wealth, possessions, or other attachments-in order to follow Jesus fully. Rev. Parson challenged the congregation to reflect on their own lives, asking what they might be unwilling to give up if Jesus called them to do so, and reminded them that true discipleship requires a complete release of anything that stands between us and our relationship with God.
