Faith
Pastor Andy kicks off a new sermon series entitled, "Nuts & Bolts", which focuses on living out a transcendent faith in extremely practical ways. Sermon notes are as follows:
An Example to Set (19-21)
• The best way to listen with humility is not to hear yourself in the conversation.
• Be quick to listen and slow to speak – do not get the verbs confused!
• Integrity says that we can’t accomplish the right thing in the wrong way.
A Task to Grasp (22-25)
• Obedience is the mother of the true knowledge of "God”. – Calvin
• Hold the "man in the mirror" to God’s standards.
• What is found in the holy place must be lived in the market place.
A People to Reach (26-27)
• People are the task.
• Obedience in action is a litmus test to faith.
• The combination of a purity of heart with a purity of action determines how we influence the world.
