3/21/21 “It Sucks to Be Human” by Pastor Jim Lindus

2021 Sermons,

Pastor Jim explores the difficulties of being human in this week’s sermon.

Jesus, because He became fully human, Jesus was intimately aware of human suffering– this life’s pain, sorrow, disappointments, loneliness and loss, and grief.  Jesus understands our sorrow. We are not alone.

Everyone you meet is carrying a heavy burden at some point in their lives, some burdens are visible, others are not — which is a good reminder to be kind to all — and to ourselves.

1/17/21 “Turning Wine into Water” by Pastor Jim Lindus

2021 Sermons,

Are we in danger of turning wine into water by ignoring God’s grace and call for unity — unity which actually celebrates diversity?

Jesus knew what it was like to be looked down on — even by people of his own hometown of Nazareth.

In this sermon on the eve of honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it is good to be reminded of his prophetic vision at a time when so many are divided in this broken world.
