SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, March 27, 2022

The Preservation of Truth
The 4th of the 6 Great(!) – emphasis mine:) – Ends of the Church

Dear Friends in Christ –

Are you aware of the term absolute modifiers? Absolute modifiers are adjectives and adverbs that shouldn't be compared or modified because they have an absolute quality such as complete, perfect, final, total. Here’s an example – the word perfect means "having no room for improvement." I would add truth – that which is true.

In our public discourse it has been suggested that some things, some statements, some occasions offer an alternate truth. Don’t buy it. Don’t buy into it.

The Apostle Paul offered this to the people of Philippi: "Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies."

This Sunday we approach, and we seek, God’s harmony. We’re better together –

See you in worship!

This Lenten season we are exploring joy through sermon and study.

Rev. Darwin will lead us through the Six Great Ends of the Church as we explore the great joy of doing church together in our sermon series Doin' Church.
