This is the sermon delivered remotely by Rev. Don Van Antwerpen to the congregation of the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick, New Jersey on March 17, 2024.




Today's sermon is drawn from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and John 12:24-33, and we talk about the importance of our relationship with God growing and evolving over time, both individually and as church communities. What happens when you take a stalk of wheat and plant it under ground? Are we supposed to do church the same way as we always have? What happens when we let ourselves explode into new life? Listen in, and find out!
