Preacher: Jerry Cisar

“Ships do not sink because of water around them, ships sink because of water that gets into them,” said the Pracin Jain in The Times of India (I’m not kidding!) In a day when it is not uncommon to hear Christians in a panic because of immorality of the world around us, this is a good reminder. The church isn’t going to sink because our culture (or any culture where the church is) slides into a pit of darkness.

The church isn’t threatened by sin in the world. It is only threatened by sin in the church. Our text this Sunday, Ephesians 5:3-20, reminds us of the importance for us, the church, to live as children of light. It is only as children of light that we can shine light that will expose deeds of darkness such that people might turn to the light and be saved.

Join us in worship as we continue in our series, Imagining the Kingdom.
