God's work in our world is not confined Sharron.  I see it all the time here at St. John's.  One of our new parents recently said, "I am just amazed how much I love my child."  Just amazed.  We can be possessed by love, amazed by the supernatural power of love coursing through us.  I see God's work of love possessing a number of folks we have here caring for elderly parents or giving up vacation time to continue to re-build New Orleans or even simply taking flowers to a homebound parishioner.  Call me un-rational, but I am convinced that God is at work all over our church, all over our city, all over our world. Our job is one of listening, and discerning the voices.  The more time we spend in prayer alone and together, in reading scripture, in breaking bread with one another in Jesus' name, the more capacity we have for figuring out which voice belongs to God and which are the other voices clamoring for our attention.  The more we are exposed to God's love, to God's vision for a community shaped by love, the more we are aware of the forces which oppose God's kingdom from breaking through in our own lives. In the Gospel we hear today that Jesus is the one with "authority."  What we learn from the Gospel is a simple truth.   God's love wins over the supernatural powers of hate.  Jesus can cast out demons.  Desmond Tutu, facing a society plagued
