First Christian-St. Paul Sermon Podcast Dennis Sanders

Acts 2:14-36 and Genesis 3:8-15 | Third Sunday After Pentecost | June 9, 2024 | Dennis Sanders, preaching
"We are open and affirming because we believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, the one that is poured out among all flesh, regardless of who they are. We are open and affirming because we believe that in communion we share the bread and the wine, for the body and blood of Jesus Christ is for you. That includes those who are LGBTQ. And we are open and affirming because we want to go, to share the good news of Jesus, like the Apostles, telling people that they are loved by Jesus, and to urge them to become small-d disciples of Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit."

" I think that faith isn't something that can be explained. I mean, yes, we try to. But it's not something that is easy to understand. Sometimes we just need to be quiet and let God speak to us."

Acts 10:44-48 and John 15:9-17 | Sixth Sunday of Easter | May 5, 2024 | Dennis Sanders, preaching
" ...the Spirit, I think, moves in many different ways. And the way that the Spirit moves in this text is both subtle and profound. There was no shouting, no dancing, but there was a prodding. It was a push to leave what was comfortable and venture into new vistas in faith that God would work things out."
