Pentecost 5C Building on the Promises of God Part 2: Made in the Image of God
Genesis 1:26-27 You are made in the image of God. But what exactly does that mean? And what difference does that make for our daily lives? Here is a promise of God to build on, so elementary that it shapes our identity and self-worth, as well as the way we seek and treat others. Sermon Date: July 14, 2019
1/13/19 Baptism of Our Lord Isaiah 43:1-7
Identity in Baptism Where do we find our identity? Is it in our new year’s resolutions or the other ways that we try to remake ourselves? Isaiah reminded Israel that her identity was to be found in God, the God who created, formed, redeemed and called her by name. Our identity is not in what we do but in what God has done for us. In our baptism, like Israel, God creates, forms, redeems, and calls us by name.
