New Sermon Series: “Every Square Inch”
Teaching | by Pastor Adam Sinnett
Last Sunday we kicked off a six-week series called Every Square Inch, highlighting Jesus’ all-encompassing lordship over every sphere of life and reality. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Colossians, put it this way:
“By him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” (Col 1:15-17)
So, how does Jesus’ sovereign lordship give shape to our every day lives? That’s the question we’ll be answering over the next six weeks as we discuss how Jesus influences our engagement with rest, art, work, history, technology and justice. As the Dutch theologian, Abraham Kuyper, once said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!”
Here’s the line-up:
6/29 Jesus and Rest, Pastor Adam Sinnett
7/6 Jesus and Art, Deacon Randy Lundy
7/13 Jesus and Work, Deacon Pierce Martin
7/20 Jesus and History, Pastor Paul Dean of Soma Eastside, PhD (History)
7/27 Jesus and Technology, Pastor David Parker
8/3 Jesus and Justice, Pastor Adam Sinnett
I am looking forward to seeing what Jesus has in store for us this summer. Please pray for these men who are already prayerfully preparing to serve you well. One of our hopes is to become a teaching hospital in order to train, develop and equip future pastors and church planters. This is just one evidence of that. Our story is one small part of His larger unfolding story and we get to participate. So come expectant, prayed-up and hungry to learn. We’ll jump back into the Gospel of Mark on Sunday, August 10th and finish up our year-long study by summer’s end.
Until the world knows,
Pastor Adam
