This week is the culmination of our church’s Connecting the Dots stewardship campaign. Today we consider together how faith affects what we leave behind us in the world; the bigger picture. Also, how do we contribute as individuals to the church’s legacy and the witness of our faith to a world that is increasingly secular?
This sermon explores the connection between our faith and our spheres of influence, however large or small. How do we make use of areas where we may have more power than we think for good?
This sermon was considering why close, genuine relationships should be a high priority to people of faith, and what we can do to build closeness, honesty, and intimacy with other people in our marriages, families, and friendships.
This week instead of a typical sermon, a group of us did a skit as an object lesson of how we try so hard to appear “fine”
and carry our own burdens, and could lighten our loads if we took the risk of trusting God more to carry them.
This month we kick off a new sermon series for stewardship month (or what we are calling Connections Month) where we “connect the dots” between faith and elements of our real lives that we might be tempted to compartmentalize away from God and church. This week we begin with the closest thing to us: our bodies. What does our faith believe about our bodies? How can we use them to glorify God? How can faith fuel us towards better health of mind, BODY and spirit?
