Lots of sermons...sorry.

Yikes. It's been a busy summer. The further I got behind, the harder it was to catch up, so now I have to post a whole mess of sermons. What's the collective noun for a group of sermons? A pulpit of sermons, maybe? A congregation of sermons? I'm posting a denomination of sermons today. Sorry.

Unexpected Freedom

Reading: Acts 10:1-48

The weekend of the Fourth of July is always a tricky time to preach. It's a significant holiday, but it's definitely not a Christian holiday. How do we acknowledge it without sanctifying it? In this case, we took a look at the biblical view of freedom as demonstrated in the book of Acts.
