This is the sermon delivered remotely by Rev. Don Van Antwerpen to the congregation of the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick, NJ, on Sunday, June 18, 2023.
Drawing from Genesis 18:1-15 and Matthew 9:35-10:23, we dig into the absolutely terrifying impossibility of a God who calls us to sacrifice everything, but somehow make a better world. How does that even work? How can we take on systemic injustice and the greatest destructive institutions in the history of the world through a tactic of dedicated self-sacrifice and nothing else? Is any of this even possible? Have a listen to this week's sermon to find out!
