READ THE SERMON

August 20, 2023 | 12th Sunday after Pentecost

Rev. Dr. Linda Philabaun

“THE REAL YOU”

Shall we heed the words of James 4:8?
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
This is implied to spiritual  cleansing vs.ceremonial  washing.
Daily handwashing at the basin of God’s Word will prevent us from spreading the deadly germs of sins.

“What goes through your mind as you sit in the sanctuary and look around?

As I sit in my pew and look up at the cross with the wonderful light illuminating it, I am reminded of why I am at Westminster on this particular day. The cross reminds me that Christ died for me and, in a sense, I am to do the same in my daily life. The brightness of the cross illustrates for me the brightness of living my life in the way of Christ.”
