Hope Presbyterian Church In Winston-salem Sermons

Series: Luke (Advent 2021 - Easter 2022)Scripture: Luke 19:1-10 “Human beings can bear an incredible amount of meaningful deprivation but only a very little meaningless affluence.”  Erazim Kohak “We are all born into this world looking for someone looking for us.”  Dr. Curt Thompson “You can survive on your own. You can grow strong on your own. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own. Surely that is why, in Jesus’ sad joke, the rich man has as hard a time getting into Paradise as that camel through the needle’s eye. Because with his credit card in his pocket, the rich man is so effective at getting for himself everything that he needs that he does not see that what he needs more than anything else in the world can be had only as a gift. He does not see that the one thing a clenched fist cannot do is accept, even from God himself, a helping hand.”  Frederick BuechnerThe post Lost and Found: the Possible Impossibility first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
