We invite you to use the following sermon preview to prepare for worship on Sunday morning.
This Sunday, October 12, Rev. Carl Gregg will deliver a sermon titled, "Stability in Unstable Times." The focus of the sermon will be on what resources the Christian tradition offers us for stability in these unstable times.
To prepare for worship, you are invited to consider the following questions:
What people and activities bring you the greatest consolation. What are you most grateful for in your life? When do you feel most loved, most energized, or most connected to God and those around you?
And, conversely, what people or activities bring you the greatest desolation. When do you feel alienated, drained of energy, or disconnected from God and those around you?
In short, what people or places or activities might God be calling you to let go – because they make your life less stable, less centered, less joyful.
And what people or places or activities might God be calling you to seek more of – because they bring you joy and stability in an unstable world?
The Christian Scripture Reading (Luke 6:47-49)
47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them. 48 That one is like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when a flood arose, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, immediately it fell, and great was the ruin of that house."
