2 Corinthians 5:11-21: How do we tell our Story? (Story Tellers)

Welcome to the 2nd sermon in our series on how to tell the story of the gospel. (2 of 2)

Everything has a story. The story that we believe that we are a part of is what shapes the way we see the world. It shapes how we see other people, how we see suffering, how we see joy and sorrow. William Kilpatrick writes, “The same impulse that makes us want our books to have a plot makes us want our lives to have a plot. We need to feel that we are getting somewhere, that we’re making progress. There’s something in us that’s not satisfied with the merely psychological explanation of our lives. It doesn’t do justice to our conviction that we are on some kind of journey or quest. There must be some deeper meaning to our lives than whether we feel good about ourselves.” How do we see our own story? How did we get here? What went wrong? What is our hope? And how do we retell our story to others?
