Listen "Invest in Hope Part III: Hope in Action"
Episode Synopsis
"Hope in Action" – Matthew 5:14
Part III of the Sermon Series "Invest in Hope"
Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Sunday, September 29, 2024.
"• When we feed the hungry, house the homeless, provide help to those who need medical care, but hunger, homelessness and the untreated sick remain...
• When we try to help with addiction and mental illness, but half of what we try doesn’t work, and half of what does work helps only for a while...
• When we try to address those collective illnesses of the soul—those “isms” like classism, racism, nationalism—ways that the vulnerable are manipulated and the weak are dominated, and those sins remain, or return, or, like adaptive viruses, find new ways to spread...
"we can’t think that what we do doesn’t matter because we failed to be God and save the world.
"No. We are not saviors, we’re servants. What we do matters because we are expressing our faith, we are showing our love, we are witnessing to the grace of God. God is using us to witness to hope… ultimately the hope of the resurrection."
