Give Up Your Knick Knacks (and Power): A Sermon from Liesl

10/14/2018

 
Gospel: Mark 10:17-31

As many of you have heard, when I first moved to Minneapolis I worked at a business that doubles as a service helping people empty their homes, and as a thrift store. As customers flooded the store every Saturday morning, our job was to restock the shelves as quickly as possible. Plush chairs, dining room tables, wooden chests,  ice skates, and boxes upon boxes of knick knacks. The supply was endless.

While it was at times overwhelming, it was also a ministry--to find second homes for things that once held or made meaning in another person’s life. If you have been to a baby shower or a wedding, if you have moved homes or emptied the home of a loved one, you have experienced how we make meaning with our belongings. 

We are ritual beings.
​We use outward signs to mark inward experience.
