May 17, 2021Sermon Talk: The Peace of Easter and Four Marks of the Church at PentecostQuotes from David Fry:If I am not in a series and I do not have a particular sermon that I want to preach, I always default to one of the lectionary readings for my Sunday preaching. I follow the Revised Common Lectionary.We live at peace because on the third day He rose from the dead and with the same body in which He suffered, He arose, and He ascended.Saints of God, we have peace because Jesus has overcome the world.What truth am I avoiding in order to give myself a false sense of peace? Isolating myself, stonewalling, avoiding someone—that's not peacemaking. That may just be flight.What am I willing to suffer for the sake of peace? We need a more robust theology of Christian suffering.Quotes from Johnathan Arnold:The Spirit comes as the one who represents the risen Christ and fulfills Christ's promises to build the church and to be our comforter.The Spirit of the risen Christ creates the Church.The four marks of the church (one, holy, catholic, apostolic) are present at Pentecost.The Sunday sermon is not just a time to give people a nugget to get through to the next week.

May 10, 2021The Derek Chauvin Trial, George Floyd, Racism, and Social JusticeQuotes from David Fry:We must distinguish between BLM the concept, BLM the organization, and BLM the movement.Eyewitness testimony or video of an event doesn’t mean that there won’t be different interpretations. It's wise as believers to be patient, listen, and suspend judgment as long as we can.It takes patience to live in a multicultural context.Christians need to get out in front of these things and set the tone, rather than sitting back and always reacting.When I say that we need to pray for peace, I've always assumed that people assume that justice is entailed in that. But I've realized that people don't automatically think that peace requires justice. In Christian theology, there is no peace without justice.Quotes from Johnathan Arnold:We need to be aware of lingering racial prejudices. These things are important to God. He’s a God of justice.We need a robust theology of justice because if we don’t then the world defines it in a non-Christian way.We want Scripture and Church Tradition to shape our thinking on these issues, not the broader culture.Support the show...more34minPlay
