Sermon - July 02, 2017 - The Christian Loves God Above All Things

The sermon for Sunday, July 02, 2017 is Luke 9:18-26

 

Today's Focus: The Christian loves God above all things.  Famous Christian author C.S. Lewis said, "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance.  The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."  This morning Jesus asserts the all-important nature of faith, and the all-consuming nature of discipleship.  Jesus calls us to love him above all - more than family or friends, more than personal safety or even life itself.  He explains that such total commitment to himself will not bring peace to our lives, but constant conflict with the sinful world around us.  However, he reminds us of his undying love for us and points us to our home in heaven, kept safe by the One who sent him.
