Sermons by Matt Smith (Page 9)
Rooted in Grace
Worship is rooted in Job 1-2. Dr. Ellen Davis writes, “I suspect that we do not more often appeal to the book of Job in times of distress because we do not really know how to read it for the sake of our souls.” Pastor Matt’s message invites us to read Job for the sake of our souls as we reflect upon how we will moor ourselves to God by rooting our lives in grace.

Reconsidering Hospitality

In the Parable of Final Judgement, the King will say to the nations gathered before him, “…Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food…I was a stranger and you welcomed me…” (Matthew 25.34-35). What might we learn from this parable for our own day? What might judgment in the Biblical witness reveal and how might…
