Sermon for July 7, 2019 - “Our Life's Treasure”

We continue our Sizzling Summer Sermon Series with Paul's letters by moving on to his follow-up letter to the Corinthians. Rev. Tom describes how Paul's preaching was revolutionary, insisting that the church was called to be a counterculture. This brought great hardship to the church (and Paul too!), in its day-to-day working out of a new society of radical welcome and love. Such a great gospel, given to fragile and struggling believers? Yes, like a treasure in clay jars, this world-changing message has been entrusted to imperfect humans. Paul's words give comfort that, despite trials, we are all given God's strength as well as God's call to sharing. (Bible reading: 2 Corinthians 4:1-12, 16-19 REB)
