Preached by Rev. Erik Kindem.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:4-20; Mark 13:1-8
Summary
On this third and final stewardship Sunday the theme centers around Spirit of Promise. The texts from 1st Samuel and Mark 13 are connected through the image of pregnancy and birth pangs. In the language of the texts we ask: What is God bringing to birth here in our congregation? What is the Spirit midwifing among us, and what might our faithful response look like?
