July 10, 2011 - "Visions of Progressive Christianity: God"
(12.9M)The Lessons - Isaiah 6:1-13, John 17:20-26. This week begins a new series of sermons based upon the thoughts of Progressive Christianity. You have heard this term mentioned several times over the last weeks in our services. For the next 8 weeks we will examine various symbols of Christian faith and compare how they are traditionally interpreted with the theology of Progressive Christianity. Today we begin with the image of God. In future weeks we will study Jesus, the Holy Spirit, suffering and evil, salvation, prayer, and heaven. You will notice that each week there will be a “Question of the Day.” We ask that you consider what your response to that question might be and enter into the discussion when that question is raised in the context of the sermon. The Question of the Day: Can you recall your earliest image of God? How did that early understanding affect your spiritual life in later years? -
