Sermon: “Remember the Rock from which You Were Hewn”
Theme: Our source of strength and our mission flows out of our knowledge of Jesus as our Lord and Savior, which gives us the ability to show God’s love and power.
Purpose: Our clarity of message will flow out of our continued connection to Jesus which will come from our practices that root us in faith.
Scriptures: Isaiah 51:1-13 Look at the rock from which you were cut, God will restore you to your former strength
Matthew 11:20-24 Judgment upon those who reject the message of God’s salvation.
Questions:
What does it mean for us to “Pursue righteousness?” How do go about living in ways that are true to God’s grace? How do we live in such ways that it demonstrates to the world what is wrong and what needs to be changed without being judgmental? How do we live as testimony to God’s law without being conceited or hypocritical? What role does judgment play in the world? What would happen if there was nothing to point out the sin and injustice of the world today? How do we live in ways that will support growth in wisdom and righteousness?
