The God We Need for the New Year

Hope Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Sermons

Series: Latest SermonScripture: 2 King 6:1-7 “I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me.” Civilla Martin “The gospel message says: ‘You don’t live in a mechanistic world ruled by necessity; you don’t live in a random world ruled by chance; you live in a world ruled by the God of Exodus and Easter. He will do things in you that neither you nor your friends would have supposed possible.’” Eugene H. Peterson, Five Smooth Stones “The point of the resurrection is not simply that the creator God has done something remarkable for one solitary individual (as people today sometimes imagine is the supposed thrust of the Easter proclamation), but that, in and through the resurrection, the present evil age has been invaded by the age to come, the time of restoration, return, covenant renewal, and forgiveness. An event has occurred as a result of which the world is a different place, and human beings have the new possibility to become a different kind of people.” Tom WrightThe post The God We Need for the New Year first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
