liberating love

Sermon Series:  Freedom Bound -- Advent to Epiphany 2015
Sermon Title:  The Path of Love (4 of 6)
Scripture Reading:  Isaiah 16:5; Luke 1:39-56; John 3:16-17

The Advent season is a time of reflection on how God's coming in Jesus releases us from personal, social, and historical chains that bind us. The theme for this Advent-Epiphany season is "Freedom Bound." We live in the paradox that we are both bound and free, on a march to freedom but encumbered by the burden of sin we carry; we are carrying the scars of struggle but living with a new hope. God's freedom takes us down pathways of justice, mercy, trust, love, service, and inclusion.

In The Path of Love (4 of 6), pastor David shows how Jesus reveals God’s liberating love by scattering the proud, raising up the lowly, and filling the hungry.

Advent 2014 (4 of 6) /  by

Advent is the beginning of the church calendar. This is a season of hope that calls us to examine our faith in light of the first coming of Jesus in a manger, to his second coming at the end of the present age. What does it mean to patiently persevere in the hope of things to come?

Our Advent-Christmas 2014 worship series is an invitation for all to come into the greatest story ever told. In the fourth message, David asks us to reconsider the narrative of God's liberating love through the coming of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the true Messiah (savior) of the world.
