Religion & Spirituality
In this sermon we consider what it means to be drawn to God, to know God, and to be transformed by God. We look at Paul’s imagery of putting off the old self for the sake of the new. We talk about the oldest tree in the world as a symbol of the spiritual journey of staying put before God. We talk about the different terrains we face as put off the old self. We talk about compassion as what it means to know God and that the spiritual disciplines are there in order for us to become compassionate people in the way of Jesus.
