Sermon: “A Light For All of the World”
Theme: We place conditions on our grace and compassion that sell short God’s love and grace and cause us to be confused about what God is doing in the world around us.
Purpose: The congregation will reconsider prejudices and attitudes towards people who are different from ourselves.
Scriptures: Isaiah 42:1-9 God has given us a light to open the eyes of the blind and free the captives
Acts 10:34-43 God’s message of healing is for all nations and all people.
Questions:
What prejudices do we suffer because of our narrow perspective and lack of understanding of what God is doing in the world around us? How should we relate to people that are different from ourselves? In what ways do we tend to discount people of other cultures or backgrounds? What happens when we are not open to people who are different from ourselves? What do we lose as a part of the body of Christ? In what ways do our anxieties and fears of the world come out of a lack of understanding of those who are different form ourselves?
