Sermons

This is the first Sunday in Lent, as well as the first Sunday in our new series “High Expectations, High Grace”. Lent is a time of reflection and focus. Each Sunday we will address a topic that helps us live into the Missio Dei that we learned about the past few weeks. A key part of God’s mission is the invitation to humans to be incorporated into the family of God through baptism. Not only is baptism one of two sacraments in the church, but it is a means of grace. All throughout scripture, God’s mission is one that bears extensive grace – for a sinful people, a broken world, and a groaning creation. As NT Wright says, through baptism, we are initiated into ‘a new human race’ – a new reality – that is the family of God at work in this world.
