People, it was a very popular film
with Brad Pitt.
You have the ultimate Cliff note.
:12:09
And Lot takes them in
and he protects them.
:12:13
What happens next? Anybody.
Ah.
:12:16
Greta Nussbaum,
before she pulls her rotator cuff.
:12:19
God spares Lot and his family.
:12:22
Bingo! Two-week cruise for Greta!
You're goin' to the Bahamas!
:12:27
You know,
when you think about it...
:12:30
God is a lot like
Blanche Du Bois.
:12:32
He's always relied on
the kindness of strangers.
:12:35
And that's really what the story
is about-- it's about us
taking care of each other.
:12:38
God relies on us
to take care of each other.
:12:42
The truth is, I don't really
learn that much about your faith
by asking questions like that...
:12:46
because those aren't really
questions about faith,
those are questions about religion.
:12:50
And it's very important
to understand the difference
between religion and faith.
:12:54
Because faith is not about
having the right answers.
:12:58
Faith is a feeling.
Faith is a hunch, really.
:13:02
It's a hunch that there is something
bigger connecting it all...
:13:06
connecting us all together.
:13:10
And that feeling, that hunch, is God.
:13:15
And coming here tonight,
on your Sunday evening...
:13:19
to connect with that feeling,
that is an act of faith.
:13:23
And so all I have to do is look around
the room at this packed church...
:13:28
to know that we're doing pretty well
as a community.
:13:34
Even if all of you
failed my pop quiz miserably.
:13:38
Let us pray.
:13:43
Jake and I used to talk about how we
needed to kick the dust off our faiths,
bring 'em up to speed with the times.
:13:48
No more of the old routines.
:13:50
Jake said, "We're gonna give 'em
an old-world God with a new-age spin."
:13:58
Feel the prana.
:13:59
Our first big idea was to turn
this abandoned gay disco...
