6/22/2025 The Audience

This Sunday will conclude our Greatest Hits sermon series. Pastor Andy Cooke repreaches a sermon from August 7, 2022 entitled "The Audience." This sermon draws heavily from another sermon that one of our first pastors, French O'Shields, preached here 65 years ago this month. When I first came across that old sermon, I felt that it would be important for you to hear it and I re-worked it into the sermon that I preached in 2022. With that history, it seemed perfect for our Greatest Hits series.

French O'Shields preached his sermon in June, and I preached mine in August. They were both internally focused sermons meant for those dedicated church worshipers who were attending in that time of the year when the pews were not quite as full. Basically, these sermons were meant to help us re-think what it is that we are doing when we gather for worship.
