Your Church is Dying
Today, we continue our worship series “Telling the Truth”. We live in a world that misleads us. From rage bait headlines to social media algorithms, we are presented with facades intended to engage us in a pervasive culture that draws us deeper into deceptions for someone else’s gain. As we start the new year, we’re going to risk telling the truth in church – lamenting, protesting, and complaining about what is wrong, yes, but doing so with hope that God has an alternative for us to pursue together. God’s desire is a greater good for us all. Let’s face the falsehoods around us, and seek to hear God’s alternative.
Change is inevitable, and all change is loss. God speaks of new wine and new wineskins, of grace that cannot be confined to what once was. We ask God to do a new thing in us, for the sake of the world. Rev. Ron’s sermon is “Your Church is Dying” with scripture readings from Luke 5:17-39.
