St. Moses Church

Sermon by Judi Breidegam

This short, summer series aims to cast vision for a contrast way of living. Each week focuses on one of the historic “disciplines” or habits of Christian discipleship. Jesus modeled and invites us into life patterns that emphasize who we are and who we are becoming more than productivity or pastime. These practices help to form us. Discovering and embracing them takes effort as they are a departure, at almost every point, from mainstream culture. But once embraced, they are life-giving, healthy and freeing.

SERIES DESCRIPTION

If there were a single, central dogma in America today, it would probably be “Be yourself.” The problem is, we’re going after being ourselves in all the wrong ways— ways that obscure rather than reveal our true selves, ways that erode or compromise other people’s selves in our own self-pursuit.

This series sets out to develop a sense of Christian friendship rooted in a biblical and trinitarian understanding of personhood. Recovering of this central aspect of our image-bearing is critical to flourishing marriages, to dismantling racism, to battling isolation, to moving beyond partisan politics and to thriving in singleness.
