Sunday Preview

Scriptures: Numbers 21:4-9
Ephesians 2:1-10
John 3:14-21

Sermon Title: "Lifted Up!"

This Sunday I am faced with the challenge of preaching on one of the most well-known pieces of scripture in the entire Bible, John 3:16. So many of us know this scripture, some even memorized it as children, but we don't take many opportunities to hear it afresh. What can be so appealing about the words of John 3:16 is that they simply and succinctly represent the good news of Jesus Christ. When we read them carefully and in the context of the words that surround them, they also represent a rich, in-depth understanding of the Gospel. On Sunday, I will try to help us to see these well-known words with fresh eyes and hear them with fresh ears.

See you Sunday!

peace,


will

P.S. The Labyrinth will be available again Sunday for walking prayer from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall, as our Lenten series, "Journey to the Cross" continues. Come any time. There will also be a contemplative prayer service in the sanctuary at 5:00 p.m. You can walk the Labyrinth before, during, or after this common service.
