Psalms for Ordinary Life, Part 4: Mirror and Window // Steve Brown
St. Luke Columbus Sermon Podcast
As we grind through our daily lives, we screw up. In our self-centered drive, we violate God’s values and hurt others. In the mirror of honest self-reflection, we see what we intuitively know about ourselves – we fall short of God’s way of living. If we were left with only the mirror of honest self-assessment, we would have no hope and we would fear our deserved judgment. In Christ, the condemning mirror becomes a window to see God’s unfailing love for us. Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content. Follow St Luke Lutheran Church:

Never Go Hungry // Steve Brown

The victory was certain, “I am going to give it [the camp of the Midianites] into your hands,” (Judges 7:9) God tells Gideon. The question remains, will Gideon act on the promise. Will we?
