February 8 A Wisdom That Goes Deep
SYNOPSIS OF SERMON/MESSAGE
On the Sunday before Lent, we stand at a threshold. Drawing on Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, this sermon explores God’s wisdom as something that runs deeper than surface-level answers, power, or certainty. Paul reminds us that the heart of the Christian story is not domination or fear, but love that refuses to give up. The cross, once a tool of empire and death, becomes a witness to life and resurrection because Jesus remained faithful to a message of love, human worth, and divine connection, even when it cost him everything. As we prepare to enter the season of Lent, we are invited to slow down, to listen, and to practice witness by paying attention to where God’s Spirit is already at work in our lives and in the world.
CALL TO PRAYER: PLEASE PRAY AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN
Glorious God, we are midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. We seek the horizon for longer days and warmer temperatures. We seek faithful connection with you as we continue to address the needs of people. Bolster us, Lord, in our efforts to stay committed. Help us stay on course through diligent Bible study, prayer, worship and acts of service. We ask for your blessing as people who believe in Love. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
