Sermon
A note from Pastor regarding his sermon:
At times, we might make being witnesses to the Gospel for other people far more complicated than it really is. We might feel intimidated by the arguments and accusations that people outside the Church may respond with when we bring up our faith. We might feel underprepared to handle the details and the questions people may ask when we invite them to church. But our epistle reading for this week from 1 Peter helps to remind us how simple being a faithful witness can be: just have a “reason for the hope that is in you.” Tell them why you can approach life and death with hope and peace: Tell them about Jesus Christ!
