agabus

This sermon is like a roadtrip. It starts off weird, with talk of cows and goose statues. There are detours into feminist theology. And eventually we arrive at our destination: an examination of what fueled Paul's determination to face suffering and imprisonment in Jerusalem despite the pleas of friends old and new. Buckle up. And try not to think too much about what the farm animals are pondering.

It is only a short time after Agabus took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands with it and said by the Spirit of the Lord that the owner of that belt will be bound in Jerusalem and handed over to the Gentiles.
