Today's Sermon

"A Fresh Wind"

Pastor Tim Trudeau

I. Let the Peace of Christ Rule

II. Be Thankful

“The tragedy is not that we who occupy the middle class are rich when compared to the larger world but that we are rich and utterly unaware. We are rich and forget that we are rich. The scandal is not how much we have but how little we think we have, and thus, how much more we expect and demand. Our souls are in danger. In danger of the felony of ingratitude. In danger of straying from the God whose goodness is so immense and so often ignored.”
-Jeff Manion, Satisfied

III. Let the Word Dwell Richly

IV. Do All in Christ’s Name

“A rich self has a distinct attitude toward the past, the present, and the future. It surveys the past with gratitude for what it has received,
not with annoyance for what it has not received or about how little it has been given. A rich self lives in the present with contentment; it is always having enough for everything’ (II Cor. 9:8). It still strives, but it strives out of satisfied fullness, not out of the emptiness of craving. A rich self looks toward the future with trust. It gives rather than holding things back in fear of coming out too short, because it believes God’s promise that God will take care of it. Finite and endangered, a rich self still gives, because its life is ‘hidden with Christ’ in the infinite, unassailable, and utterly generous God, the Lord of the present, the past, and the
future.”
-Miroslav Volf, Free of Charge
