Following Part VII: Loving, and so Following
"Following: Loving, and so Following" – Mark 16:1-8Lenten Sermon Series Part VII
Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024. "...so many cling to the resurrection hope in a desperate way, hoping for an out when death must come. Sadly, what often comes of this escapist hope is an escape from the moral demands of life. But a true resurrection hope is this: It is finding hope in God even after all other hopes fail you. . . . It is the hope that God will not let death and all it represents—injustice, toxicity, cruelty, despair—have the last word."

Needed reflection
I love listening to this podcast each week. I’m not able to go to church in person during these times, but I receive needed reflection. I find myself smiling, crying, and inspired to do better. Thank you for these recordings.
