Cultivating Contentment in a Fearful Age
My sermon topic for this week will be “Cultivating Contentment in a Fearful Age,” based on I Timothy 6:6-17. Our grateful acceptance of who we are and what we have in Christ frees us up to enjoy the “finer things in life.” What are those finer things? Here is how Eugene Peterson translates the second part of verse 11: “Pursue a righteous life–a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy.” While letting go of anxiety will take some effort on our part, the gift of it is fulfillment.
Join us in person or via Zoom, Facebook or YouTube Live.
Sunday service begins at 10:15AM.
