New Sermon Series: “Eucharisteo! A life offered up, and poured out”
Msg 2: DUTY | Rev Nick Braunschneider
Sermon Description: On this first Sunday in Lent, we are confronted with James' words, "Be doers of the word, and not hearers only..." The idea of having to do something, or "duty," carries with it quite a negative connotation today. Combine "duty" with "God," and images quickly come to mind of drudgery and harsh servitude. The reality is, however, that duty holds an important (even necessary) place in our relationship with our good Lord. Duty, when properly understood, can actually bring us great joy...and does!
Scriptures: James 1:19-25; Psalm 51:1-8, 16-17; John 2:1-11
