This Sunday in worship, Pastor Julie continues the current sermon series with the message, How Hedonism Killed Jesus from Luke 23:1-12. Accompanying scripture passages are Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 and Philippians 4:4-9.
Following last Sunday’s message, How Liberalism Killed Jesus, we turn our attention this Sunday from the legalistic Pharisees and the broad-minded Sadducees, to Herod, who was driven by appetite and organized his life around the pursuit of pleasure. While we live in a nation that seems to have an insatiable appetite for more, how do we enjoy God-given pleasures in our lives without elevating them into idols?
