Fall Sermon Topics
August 29 “A Living Faith: loving God in our daily lives ” Some Christians regulate faith to matters of prayer, heaven or spiritual realms apart from everyday life. Leviticus 25 proclaims the 50th year as a year of Jubilee directing faith into even mundane areas of life like real estate contracts. Christ directs our everyday earthly faith to match the patterns of “as in heaven”.
September 5 “The motion of faith: God’s leading takes us somewhere” Joshua 1:1-9. Encouraged by the past we step into God’s open future. While some perceive faith as a static one-time decision for God; God’s indwelling grace unfolds in an ever changing and challenging stream leading us deeper in Christ-likeness God works in people and churches honing, perfecting, correcting, and recreating us as we open ourselves to God.
September 12 “A merciful faith: a great word to live by” Mark 3:1-6. Mercy is a great word. Yet, it seems to be falling out of regular speech or getting regulated by Christians to God’s gracious action towards sinners. Christ calls us out of a dry legalism (liberal or conservative) into a life of mercy and grace.
