This week’s sermon kicks off our Covenant/Commitment series entitled “Embrace the Why?” In this week’s message we will explore one of the most fundamental questions we can ponder as followers of Jesus - “Why Embrace Why?” The answer is found in the verse following one of the most well-known and quoted verses of scripture – John 3:16. The answer to “Why Embrace Why?” is found in the words of John 3:17 “God did not send Jesus into the world to condemn the world, God sent Jesus into the world so that the world might be saved through him.” This sermon will helps you frame your personal answer the question of how can we bless and be a blessing to the world around us as we invite people into a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ. The answer to that question “Why Embrace Why?” is why Munger Place Church exists and why we should be passionate about living out our mission statement. I’ll see you Sunday for a deeper dive into how that happens here and how we can expand the work before us here at MPC. Sermon Scripture: John 3:16-17 NRSV Pastor: Rev. Edlen Cowley
