An Inner Metro Green Sermon Series
A hermeneutic for our own day must be built upon humility and conscience.
We live in a world plagued by religious conflict. There is conflict between faith traditions and within faith traditions. Said differently, people who claim a certain religious identity fight with people who claim a divergent religious identity and members of the same religious group fight with each other, internally.
Most, if not all, of this conflict find its catalyst in interpretation. One group interprets a text a certain way; another group interprets the same text differently. All hell breaks loose as the competing groups disagree over the “correct” interpretation. Conflict ensues, universally and historically.
Our hermeneutic should be informed and shaped by the spiritual needs of our time. We all need to be acutely aware of the spiritual needs of our day. We all need to start asking the big questions and we need to begin searching for honest theological solutions for today’s biggest spiritual needs. We all have to start asking the right questions and we must start the process of building a hermeneutic framework that prioritizes these questions.
This was the subject matter for week two of the sermon series. The full sermon is available below.
