Sermons on Discipleship
Everything is a Verb
What is our mission? How do we respond to the resurrection? Yes, make disciples of all the nations, but we are also called to do what Jesus commanded, not our own ideas. Love all of God’s creation. Love your enemies and those who persecute you. Give without expectation of return. Do not judge.Treat others as we would like to be treated by them. Be the hands and feet of Christ.
Go Public Now
God’s call isn’t easy. We are called to speak out about injustice.
What are You Doing?
Turn to the living God. Let us strive to be instruments of God’s love.
How Do We Begin Again?
Feel the breeze blow through us, so that we may be the breeze for the community.
It Doesn’t Get Easier, But We Get Stronger
If we don’t push through the tough stuff, we will never grow. As we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King, let us stand up for justice, stand up for truth.
Keeping the Word
Jesus words always include action. We will keep putting the flag back up.
Why Do We Worship?
Beware of doing justice in order to be seen. We worship to give God the glory for the grace we have been given. We do it because of who God is.
Let Me See
Our job is to stand in for Jesus. Jesus wants to help others (even those we don’t like).
Call
God is not just calling us to do, but also to be. We are called to be children of God. Who are we inviting to this safe place?
“go and sit down at the lowest place”
We must speak out for the marginalized in order to create God’s kingdom here on Earth.
