This Sunday, we begin a new sermon series on the book of Jeremiah, exploring the themes of "plucking up" and "planting." Jeremiah's prophecies resonate deeply with our experiences of aging, loss, and institutional instability, while also offering hope through renewal, fresh starts, and surprising growth. Together, we will see how exile brought not only loss but also spiritual renewal, leading to the creation of written Scripture, new psalms, and prophets. Join us as we journey through Jeremiah, finding God's presence in both our uprooting and replanting.
In this Sunday's sermon, Rev. Andrew Mead explores the call of Jeremiah and the Apostle Paul's guidance to Timothy, drawing parallels between their challenges and the modern Christian experience. Preaching from Jeremiah 1:1-10 and 2 Timothy 1:1-2, 5-12, we're invited to consider the themes of prophetic courage, divine calling, and the transformative power of God's word. We learn of the importance of speaking hard truths, enduring suffering for the gospel, and trusting in God's strength to overcome fear. In this sermon, we're inspired as believers to embrace our divine calling with boldness and faithfulness, even amidst trials and deconstruction.
