A New Devotion - Believing What We Hear
Here's a new devotion that I wrote. It's based on the passage below. You can find a recording of this devotion at the bottom of the page.
John 10:7-18 [Contemporary English Version]
Jesus said:
I tell you for certain that I am the gate for the sheep. Everyone who came before me was a thief or a robber, and the sheep did not listen to any of them. I am the gate. All who come in through me will be saved. Through me they will come and go and find pasture.
A thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy. I came so everyone would have life, and have it fully. I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives up his life for his sheep. Hired workers are not like the shepherd. They don't own the sheep, and when they see a wolf coming, they run off and leave the sheep. Then the wolf attacks and scatters the flock. Hired workers run away because they don't care about the sheep.
I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and they know me. Just as the Father knows me, I know the Father, and I give up my life for my sheep. I have other sheep that are not in this sheep pen. I must also bring them together, when they hear my voice. Then there will be one flock of sheep and one shepherd.
The Father loves me, because I give up my life, so I may receive it back again. No one takes my life from me. I give it up willingly! I have the power to give it up and the power to receive it back again, just as my Father commanded me to do.
Believing What We Hear
And I’ll tell you, I mention this because of the passage I just read. You see, after outlining the difference between himself as a good shepherd who cares for his flock and a thief or a hired worker who doesn’t, Jesus said this:
I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and they know me. Just as the Father knows me, I know the Father, and I give up my life for my sheep. I have other sheep that are not in this sheep pen. I must also bring them together, when they hear my voice. Then there will be one flock of sheep and one shepherd. [John 10:14-16, CEV]
In other words, there will be people who are outside what might be defined at his flock who will hear his voice.
And I think that’s extremely important for us to remember as we go about our living in the world, especially as we deal with folks who just might be included in this promise. You see, I think it’s very easy for us to define what should be the flock ourselves and to base that definition on our own assumptions that we project onto God. And so, when we hear experiences that don’t fit into what we assume, we often reject them as being either fanciful or just plain wrong. You see, even though Jesus said it would happen, we choose to deny it, and as a result, we miss the opportunity to learn from and to enjoy the company of some men and women who are different from us. And for that reason, maybe we should accept the words of Jesus, listen to what others have to say about their relationship with God and, as it relates to their experiences, believe what we hear.

Remembering our Sister, Dolores Eleanor McKinney Kinkead
Dolores was retired from psychiatric nursing at Via Christi Regional Medical Center: St. Francis. She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Donald B. Kinkead. She is survived by; a daughter, the Rev. Angela Gay Kinkead of Charleston, W.Va.; and a son, Sterling Dean Kinkead of Wichita.
Dolores was born April 21, 1933, in Sligo, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of John Delbert McKinney and Zelma Arrie (McGinnis) McKinney. She was one of 23 in the 1951 graduating class of Sligo (PA) High School where she played Basketball, sang in the Chorus, and played alto sax in the Band. Following high school, she took a summer job as an attendant at Warren (PA) State Hospital. By fall, she had moved to Pittsburgh, living in a boarding house with high school friends and strangers who became life-long friends. She worked downtown for Bell Telephone before becoming a long distance teletype operator for the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) at their headquarters. A highlight of her four years in Pittsburgh was as a member and leader of the Young Adult Group at Smithfield Methodist Church in the midst of the business district. Weekday dinners, worship, and social events created another group of life-long friends, including at least 10 couples who married, including Dolores and Don. Between 1955 and 1985, Dolores and her family’s addresses included East Brady, Mars, Greensburg, and Jeannette, Pennsylvania; and North Tonawanda, New York. Throughout these years, she worked as a Home-Party demonstrator of cosmetics, as a Nurse’s Aide at St John’s Lutheran Home in Mars; as a florist’s assistant, in home child-care, and selling cleaning products door-to-door, with both children as “sales associates”. She concluded her Pennsylvania years as a retail clerk with JC Penney Co., and Joseph Horne Co., both at Greengate Mall.
In 1985, she and Sterling Dean joined Don in Wichita, KS. Don had been living there since 1983, working at Love Box Co. and enjoying being active at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. Each Sunday, after church, the pastor allowed Don to use his office, to call Dolores and Sterling Dean long-distance in New York. These weekly calls were an essential lifeline. When the family was reunited in Wichita, they immediately joined St. Paul’s.
One reason for delaying a move to Wichita, was Dolores’ realization of a life-time dream to become a nurse. At the age of 50, she began the Licensed Practical Nurse program at an area Vocational School near Niagara Falls. She completed the 2 yr. course, passed her NY and Kansas State Boards at the age of 52, just in time to move to Wichita. During this time, Sterling Dean worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant in Buffalo, which he continues to do at Ascension Via Christi: St. Francis.
The Kinkead family enjoyed vacationing. Don was the planner and Dolores provided the wild imagination and sense of adventure. Longer vacations to other states alternated with Pennsylvania destinations, often a series of daytrips. Dolores would concoct elaborate and creative stories that involved staying overnight at fancy hotels that were really their house, and dining at expensive restaurants, that were picnics in road-side parks. In later years, Dolores enjoyed cruises, visiting her daughter in Nashville and several West Virginia communities, trips with the family to Hawaii, Alaska, Las Vegas, Seattle, San Francisco, the Rose Parade and southern California, Williamsburg, Atlanta, the Smoky Mountains, Florida, and Santa Fe – almost always visiting family or friends in those locales. America’s Bicentennial Summer of 1976 found the Kinkeads in the Philadelphia area for the week of July 4. On July 6, after waiting for hours in front of Independence Hall for a glimpse of Dolores’ April 21 “birthday mate”, Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Phillip, the Queen stopped directly in front of Dolores, they exchanged a brief “Good Day” and smile. Never to be forgotten, the moment was captured in a series of snapshots. Dolores’ first Caribbean cruise was paid for with winning from a KFDI-Classic Country radio contest which involved knowing the “right answer” when the DJ called a random phone number! She used her winning to go on a KFDI Cruise with singer, George Jones, one of Dolores’ all-time favorites! She and George had several conversations throughout the cruise!
Family was always important to Dolores. Brothers, sisters, in-laws, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Karle McKinney and Don McKinney; sisters, Marion McNaughton and Carolyn Motter. Brothers-in law Wayne McNaughton and Bob Fooks; and sisters-in-law, Adean McKinney and Jean Kinkead Fooks; and nephew, Gary McKinney. In addition to her children, Dolores is also survived by her brother-in-law, Clair Motter and sister-in-law, Marilyn McKinney; 10 nieces and nephews, and numerous great and great-greats.
Visitation will be 10-11 a.m. Thursday, March 30 with funeral service beginning at 11 a.m., both at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 1356 N. Broadway, Wichita. Rev. Donna Goltry and Chaplain Cecil Lilliston, officiating. Visitation and interment will be Tuesday, April 4 at Grandview Cemetery in Sligo, Pennsylvania. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund’s “Healthy Congregations Program” (PO Box 1384, Hutchinson, KS 67504-1384) in memory of Dolores E. Kinkead. [www.healthfund.org]. After Dolores’ retirement from St. Francis in 1996, she became the Parish Nurse at her church, serving the congregation through 2018. From 1999-2005 she was recognized as the Team Leader of St. Paul’s Healthy Congregation team. Culbertson-Smith Mortuary, Wichita, is in charge of arrangements, assisted by McKinney-D’argy Funeral Home, Brookville (PA). Send condolences to smithfamilymortuaries.com.

- Session 15 - Joseph and His Brothers, part 2 (Genesis 42:1 – 45:28)
- Session 16 - Israel in Egypt (Genesis 46:1 – 50:26)
During our fifth discussion, we looked at the flood from Genesis 11:27 – 14:24. The passage is below:
Now these are the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot. Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans. Abram and Nahor took wives; the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah. She was the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah. Now Sarai was barren; she had no child. Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there. The days of Terah were two hundred five years; and Terah died in Haran.
So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. Abram took his wife Sarai and his brother’s son Lot, and all the possessions that they had gathered, and the persons whom they had acquired in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan,
Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. From there he moved on to the hill country on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and invoked the name of the Lord. And Abram journeyed on by stages toward the Negeb.
Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to reside there as an alien, for the famine was severe in the land. When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know well that you are a woman beautiful in appearance; and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; then they will kill me, but they will let you live. Say you are my sister, so that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared on your account.”
So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb. Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. He journeyed on by stages from the Negeb as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, to the place where he had made an altar at the first; and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, so that the land could not support both of them living together; for their possessions were so great that they could not live together, and there was strife between the herders of Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land. Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herders and my herders; for we are kindred. Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Raise your eyes now, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth; so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. Rise up, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” So Abram moved his tent, and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron; and there he built an altar to the Lord.
In the days of King Amraphel of Shinar, King Arioch of Ellasar, King Chedorlaomer of Elam, and King Tidal of Goiim, these kings made war with King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). All these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Dead Sea). Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and subdued the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, and the Horites in the hill country of Seir as far as El-paran on the edge of the wilderness; then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and subdued all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar. Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim with King Chedorlaomer of Elam, King Tidal of Goiim, King Amraphel of Shinar, and King Arioch of Ellasar, four kings against five. Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits; and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the hill country. So the enemy took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way; they also took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). And King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High. He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, maker of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him one tenth of everything.
Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.” But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have sworn to the Lord, God Most High, maker of heaven and earth, that I would not take a thread or a sandal-thong or anything that is yours, so that you might not say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their share.”
The Sligo Presbyterian Church Celebration Service - Sunday, March 26, 2023
There are many words and images that we associate with Easter, both secular and sacred. During the Sundays leading up to Easter, we'll focus on seven words that the Apostle Paul used when he described the importance of the crucifixion and resurrection. We'll consider the following:

- March 12 – Peace (Romans 5:1-11)
- March 19 – Light (Ephesians 5:8-14)
- March 26 – Spirit (Romans 8:6-11)
- April 2 – Humility (Philippians 2:5-11)
- April 9 – Life (Colossians 3:1-4)
During the fifth service in this series, we used Romans 8:6-11 to consider the word SPIRIT. Below is a video of the service, a recording of the sermon and a copy of the bulletin. You can stream the service by going to the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel at 10:00 a.m.

*******
Of course, along with all this other stuff, the coming of spring is a reminder that Easter is on the way, which means, soon we’ll be finishing up the sermon series we started last month, you know, the one entitled Easter in Seven Words. I mean, as most of y’all know, as we approach the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we’ve been looking at some of the words that Apostle Paul considered important. And over the last four weeks, we’ve talked about GRACE, that incredible gift given to us by God, and FAITH, you know, our decision to trust that the gift was given without strings or conditions. And then we focused on PEACE, a word that pretty much describes the relationship that we have with our gracious God when we respond with faith, and LIGHT, that personal presence that God puts within us that enables us to shine in an otherwise dark world. Now, that’s what we’ve been talking about.
But you know, according to what Paul wrote, I think God recognized this problem, you know, this feeling that we have, and that’s the reason he’s given to us his Spirit. And so, with that in mind, we’re going to spend a little time with Romans 8:1-11, scripture in which he talked a lot about one of his favorite topics, namely the Holy Spirit. And during our discussion, we’ll focus on three things the Spirit offers that can not only make us just, plain, better people, but will also enable us to share the good news of grace and faith, peace and light to others. Now that’s what we’ll be doing for the next ten minutes or so.
But you know, I believe Paul understood that, and that’s why he wrote this to the Romans:
You see, according to Paul, we’ve been set free: free from sin, free from the past, free from all those things that can push us down and hold us back. We’re free. Of course, I’m not stupid. Like I said a minute ago, we can’t control the past; therefore, we can’t take a mulligan and recapture opportunities we missed and correct mistakes we made and erase pain we caused. Still, we don’t have to do what we’ve done. And we don’t have to stay where we’ve been. And as God is my witness, we don’t have to continue to be who we were. Man, we can be better. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new.” [1 Corinthians 5:17, CEV] I’m telling you, the straps have been broken and the yoke can be taken off. The chain has been cut and the anchor can be left behind. And now we have the possibility to become everything God called and created us to be. Why? Because the Spirit offers us a new sense of freedom. And according to this passage, that’s the first thing it offers, but of course, that’s not all.
But fortunately, our problem isn’t new. And I believe that’s why Paul wrote this to the Romans:
Now that’s what Paul said, and just think about what it means. Right here and now, we don’t have to be ruled by our desires. We don’t have to find our meaning in values that sure seem to be a distortion of what’s true and compassionate and loving. And we sure as heck don’t have to listen to all those voices who, for a variety of reasons, think only of themselves and actively encourage us to do the same. As people who’ve received grace, as people who’ve responded with faith, as people who are at peace with God, and as people whom God has filled with light, these values and these voices can be dead to us. And in their place, we can concentrate our attention on claiming life and peace and on showing love and compassion, because that’s what God’s law demands. In other words, right here and right now, we can decide to think about what Paul called “spiritual things.” Why? Because the Spirit offers us a new focus to claim. And according to this passage, that’s the second thing it offers.
But again, I don’t think that perspective is all that new either. According to what Paul said to the Romans, they were pretty scared too. And that’s why he wrote this:
Now that’s what Paul said, and I think it’s important for us to remember. You see, we have the Spirit of Christ in us. And we know the truth that comes from God. And we trust that just like he raised Jesus to life, the day is going to come when he’s going to do the same thing for us. God is in control, and he holds our destinies in his hands. Do you believe that? Man, I hope you do. And even though, for me, that certainly doesn’t mean that we should ignore the very real problems that we face, we don’t have to be afraid. Instead we can choose to listen to God before we listen to anyone else. And we can choose to trust that his presence is always with us, and we can feel it when, together, we’re doing what he’s called us to do. And brothers and sisters, we can choose to move forward with confidence and not fear, believing that Paul knew what he was talking about when he wrote this:
I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love — not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord! [Romans 8:38-39, CEV]
You see, this we can do. Why? Because the Spirit offers us a new reason for hope. And that’s the third thing it offers.
Without a doubt, all signs point to spring. But you know, along with the warmer air and the longer days and that faint smell of stuffed peppers and vegetable beef, there’ll also be a few thunderstorms that will scare the pudding out of Coco Chanel. That’s just the way it is. But I’ll tell you, I think this same thing applies to more than just little, white dogs. Our world is a tough place: it always was and it always will be. And for that reason, it’ll always be challenging for people to shine God’s light in darkness, regardless of the amount of grace they’ve been given or faith they show or peace they have. That’s also just the way it is.
But praise the Lord, God’s also given us the SPIRIT and that Spirit offers us a new sense of freedom and a new focus to claim and a new source for hope. And you know, I think this is something we need to remember as we approach Easter and beyond. And next week, we’ll move to Paul’s sixth word: HUMILITY.
