This Sunday is July 4th. We’ll take a break from our sermon series on the Seven Deadly Sins to consider how the formation of the Church can find parallels in the birth of our nation. Both institutions can trace their origins to a revolution which sounds noble but can be riddled with challenges.
From the sermon:
What a radical word “revolution” is. It’s revolt against the established rule, whether good or bad. It’s an invitation to chaos and uncertainty. Revolutionaries are by definition troublemakers who stir the pot of unrest. They are despised by the established powers. Our nation was formed when rabble rousers of all sorts decided to overthrow the government of King George III. It was audacious, a bit foolish, and doomed to failure. It was a dwarf picking a fight with a giant.
Sermon Title: Revolution, Constitution, Institution
Bible Passage: Galatians 5:1
