The Hard Truth Worship Series

We Want Peace, but God’s Word Divides

First Reading: Jeremiah 23:23-29. The Word of the LORD divides what is true from what is false

Second Reading: Hebrews 12:1-13.  The Hebrews who converted to Christianity faced persecution, often divided from friends and family, even separated from their livelihood.  They learned to fix their eyes on Jesus

Gospel Reading:  Luke 12-49-53. Jesus knew that his work would cause divisions that would often cut close to home.

Sermon:  Hebrews 12:1-13.  Let Us Run Our Race

We have God looking out for us.  He uses the pain and the challenges in life for our benefit to strengthen us.

Pastor Nathan Kassulke
