St. Luke Columbus Sermon Podcast
What is an ice cream scoop capable of doing? It is capable of holding liquids, scooping cold ice cream, being used as a hammer, digging in the dirt. Certainly, there are things that an ice cream scoop is not capable of. But, it has many uses...and the best day in an ice cream scoop’s life is when it is called into service on behalf of the Graeter’s employee. It becomes a means of grace in the form of ice cream. We determine an object's capabilities by examining its form and intended function. What are you capable of doing? Lessons: — Like,...

What are you longing for?

Talking Points: The Perfect Blend of Politics and Religion
St. Luke Columbus Sermon Podcast
Our political views are shaped by a number of variables: our backgrounds, education, and personal experiences to name a few. It’s easy to feel like our view is the right one, but the person beside you is more precious to God than your political view. As citizens of the Kingdom of God, we are governed first and foremost by the Law of Christ (“love one another as I have loved you”, Christ), which precedes all our political viewpoints.

Your favorite candidate will win or lose based on how our country votes this November. However, the church will win or lose based on our behavior between now and then. Next steps: Pray for oneness.

St. Luke Columbus Sermon Podcast

Certainly, churches are considered sacred spaces where religious activities are conducted and secular spaces, like a park or government building, are considered secular, a place where attitudes and activities have no religious background to them. And yet, much of the books of Acts takes place in public, secular spaces like marketplaces, calling into question the sacred/secular divide. Today we will discover what happens when God crosses this false divide and the impact it has on the world around us. Next...
info_outlinePastor Steve concludes our sermon series, "FAQ: Ask And It Will Be Given You - Answering Frequently Asked Questions" by addressing the questions, "Are Not All Religions the Same?" Some of the similarities among the religions will be acknowledged as a way of pointing to the reality and omnipresence of God. Christianity will be shown to be unique among all the religions because we are saved by grace.
We encourage you to lay down whatever other “religion” you are holding unto to justify yourself and rest in God’s Amazing Grace centered in Jesus Christ.
