SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, February 25, 2024

Dear Friends in Christ –

Repentance has been identified as the first word in the Christian life. I’m not sure that I would agree. I would offer sweet surrender instead, but certainly the New Testament gospel is filled with the mandate.

John the Baptist – “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Jesus’ first preaching was the same – “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Peter concluded his first sermon with “Repent and be baptized.”
And in Revelation, the message to the 7th church is “be zealous and repent.”

This Sunday we will continue our pilgrim journey in ‘A Long Obedience in the Same Direction.’ We’ll look at what it means to change course in each moment of our lives to bring us into alignment with the purpose of our creation, an abundant joy filled life in Jesus.

Gospel (Good News) Sunday.

With great joy in being your pastor –
