Living Through the Prism

Reading: John 17:11-24

No sermon for January 17 because we had missionaries with us during the morning service. Carey preached during our morning service last Sunday, but we had the honor of hosting the churches of our local ecumenical council for our evening (afternoon, really) service of Christian unity. This sermon is therefore very ecumenical in its flavor and was addressed to the specific churches we had represented at our service.

New Expectations for the New Year

Reading: 1 Peter 1:3-15

This week we looked at the flip side of last week's sermon: yes, the people of God should take time to remember what God has done, but we are also essentially forward-looking in our focus. This week's sermons, therefore, was all about our hope for the new year.

Old Expectations for the New Year

Reading: Deuteronomy 31:9-13

We're jumping into the future—because 2010 is definitely the future, despite its lack of hover cars—by taking a look at the biblical theme of remembering what God has done for us in the past. Next week we'll be more forward-looking in our expectations.
