This morning I completed my month of preaching every Sunday morning at a Presbyterian (PCUSA) congregation by preaching at St. Mark Presbyterian Church at 9:45 a.m. followed by Eastminster Presbyterian Church at 11:30 a.m.
This was my first visit to St. Mark and my second to Eastminster (see Preaching Difficult Discipleship for more on my visit last summer). Both congregations have supported the ministry of White Rock Center of Hope, the organization I serve as CEO, for many years.
The Sermon
My message, “Love in Action,” was based on one of the lectionary passages: I John 4:7-21.
Love in Action
While I relied on the same manuscript for both congregations, the two experiences were far from identical. The YouTube video below is from the livestream of Eastminster’s service and is queued to the start of the sermon (30:52).
