Below are a few links for those of you interested in learning more about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn DOMA and how it might impact the church in the future.
I won’t be devoting any pulpit time to this issue (at least not at this time). We will continue with our sermon series on prayer this week. I can’t think of anything better to do than to pray:
“Our Father in heaven,
Hollowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts
as we also have forgiven our debters.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.”
After that, I will take you though a short sermon series on evangelism because, once we pray, I can’t think of anything better to do than learn to relate to others (most likely those who see things different than we see them), and to lovingly and winsomely share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them in all of its power and fullness.
My hope is that we will do this while trusting in his sovereign power.
For His Kingdom,
Joe
