Listen "Sunflower Faith: Living in the Light"

Episode Synopsis


In our journey of faith, we're called to be like sunflowers, constantly seeking the light of God's presence. Just as sunflowers turn their heads to follow the sun across the sky, we must orient ourselves towards God's will and way. This powerful metaphor reminds us that our faith isn't static; it's a dynamic process of continually aligning ourselves with divine truth. The sunflower's diverse contributions - providing food for birds, seeds for humans, and oil for various uses - mirror how we're meant to give of ourselves generously. As 'sunflowers of God,' we're challenged to extend beyond our comfort zones, sharing God's light and love with others. This image encourages us to reflect on how we can be more giving, more aligned with God's purposes, and more open to growth in our spiritual lives.Join us for an inspiring message delivered by Reverend Dr. Deborah Tanksley Brown at Berwyn United Methodist Church.
