Today this church celebrates five years of history. This sermon has the goal of showing how Christ comes into history to turn it into the gift that it is. It does that by looking at how history can be challenging; how it can be redeemed; and what the ultimate hope of history is.
We often live with minds that do not grasp just how big and creative and powerful God is. This failure of imagination leaves our hopes for God and his work low. The solution? Look around; look up; and look at Christ. We need only look at what God has done to get a good grasp on what God will do for us. Listen in and have your imagination unbound to God’s future work for you!
(A Sermon Based on 1 Cor. 15:8-11)
Ten times Paul refers to himself in this tiny section of Scripture! Don’t think it’s because it’s narcissistic. He’s not. Paul wants us to do something more than hear what he’s saying. He wants us to see what he’s saying. And why does he want that? Because naturally, we fight what we most need: grace. Grace fights back and claims our hearts. Listen in!
Who is Easter for? We could say that Easter is for Peter. We could say that Easter is for James. Most of all, however, we could say that Easter is for all. This sermon is designed to help each person listening to think through what Easter means for them individually wherever they are at in life.
There are some relatively unhelpful places you can go to when it comes to this Scripture, the great love chapter of the Bible. This is a sermon that seeks to move the listener out of those relatively unhelpful places into the place the Spirit of God intended it to go. More than that, it’s a sermon that matures people in Christ to do what this Scripture calls for us to do: to love. Listen in.
