Sermon March 23 2025 - "Serving"

Our theme for this week is “Serving.”

Last week we heard that “Forgiving” can be described by the letters in the word “SCARS” = Sin, Confession, Absolution (forgiveness), Restoration, and Sanctification. We heard details about most of those words, but didn’t spend much time on Sanctification, other than to say its “the process of becoming holy.” In today’s sermon we’ll hear that some Christians have described the process as “downward mobility,” and we’ll here why that’s such a good definition of “serving.”
