4th Sunday After Pentecost, 6/21/2015: Mark 4:35-41 1 SAMUEL 17:32-40
This was an important Sunday for churches across America. Four days earlier, Rev. Clementa Pinckney was assassinated and eight parishioners were massacred during a bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The story of David and Goliath provides a way view of how we as people of faith will slay the giant of racial terrorism.
I am indebted to Malcom Gladwell’s recent book, David and Goliath. Gladwell’s reading of the story is available as a TED talk: The Unheard Story of David and Goliath.
