Join us for the 9 am worship as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin shares the sermon entitled, “Yes or No.” Below are questions to consider for this Sunday’s sermon.
- When have you felt the need to justify your views, prove you were right, or even defend your faith?
- When have your social media exchanges called out other viewpoints or touted your own?
- What is the difference between going on a pilgrimage and being a nomad? How are they similar?
- When have you agreed to do something without being 100% convinced that you will follow through? How did you feel?
- To what are you attached today that keeps you from following Jesus fully and freely?
