Sermon excerpt:
Christ is “our king as we sit in the waiting room, as the test results come back, as we weep over the grave, as we watch the wars escalate and the darkness deepen.
“He is our king when hope seems lost, that voice we will listen to when promises seem shattered, when our lives have no direction, and when we can’t imagine anything tomorrow could bring that might fill this hole within us.”[1]
The work of faith is to believe that Christ, not fear, gets the final word.
The work of faith is to believe that Christ, not chaos, has the final word.
The work of faith is to believe that Christ, not death, has the final word.
The work of faith is to live like we actually believe that Christ really does get the final word.
