Sermons

This sermon traces the Hatfields and McCoys feud, Samson’s violent cycle in Judges, and today’s conflicts — from office spats to Gaza — to show how retaliation only multiplies the wreckage. It lifts up Jesus’ teaching and example on the cross as the unveiling of a different way, breaking the cycle of revenge with love. The call is clear: stop waiting for Samsons and strongmen, and live instead by the Spirit’s power to answer darkness with light and hate with love, for the healing of the world.
