Reverend George Lower continued his two-part series on The Core of the Christian Faith today with a sermon titled “The Life of Jesus.” Drawing from Luke 2:41–52 and Luke 24:13–31, Reverend Lower explored the life and ministry of Jesus—from his early years of learning and teaching in the temple to the powerful and transformative acts of healing that defined his public ministry.
Jesus began his ministry at the age of 30, touching countless lives through compassion, healing, and truth. Yet, as Reverend Lower reminded us, not everyone accepted his message. Many rejected him precisely because of his power to heal and his willingness to challenge the status quo. That rejection ultimately led to the cross.
Even so, Christ’s life and resurrection remind us that God’s work continues through us. We, too, have been given gifts—spiritual, creative, and practical—to use in service to others. The ministry of Christ does not end with his earthly life; it lives on whenever we bring hope, healing, and love into the world around us.
Join us next Sunday! Reverend Topher Mehlhoff will lead us in exploring Faith and Jesus Walking on Water, reflecting on Matthew 14:22–33. Worship begins at 11:00 a.m., followed by fellowship. All are welcome!
