SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, November 10, 2024

Dear Friends in Jesus –

Now what?

When I sat down to write, I was riddled with dis-ease, discomfort rather than relief that years long battles have been waged across the airwaves and at the coffee shop don’t disappear overnight. Then I remembered my job is not to referee but to position myself, and those who I may, for the inexhaustive grace of God.

What I want to focus on is what we get to do Sunday and each moment of our lives – engage God’s word, become willing to be led by the Spirit and allow the love of God to pour through us as the antidote, the balm for the wounds we incur and that we cause.

So...

This Sunday we engage Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians. He is gathering a purse for the saints in Jerusalem where there has been a severe famine. But as Paul makes his case to the Corinthians to perhaps outshine the church in Macedonia in their generosity, he provides us with a template for generosity.

This Sunday, we worship al fresco. We breathe the fresh air of our beloved renovated Wragg Square and sing and pray reflecting the faith, compassion and joy of the way of Jesus.

Invite a friend, family member, someone you want to know or even someone you’d rather not. God’s grace is for everyone!

In great anticipation –
