Naked Fruit: Faithfulness

Read Luke 12:49-59 HERE. 

Sermon excerpt: 

Perhaps we, like Beethoven’s salon audience have been lulled into softness and coziness, expecting that our faith will automatically fill our lives with serenity and peace. And like an arm crashing down on the keyboard, we are jarred awake when our faith actually causes division or trial or suffering or difficulty.

And THOSE are the moments that matter the most—will we give in when the world tries to squash our faith or we are afraid of the division it might cause? Or will we let our light shine even more brightly in the darkness so that the world might see our good and faithful deeds and glorify God?
