Sermon given by the Rev. Nathan Stomberg on 5 Epiphany (2/5/2023).
When we focus on Christ instead of complaining about the many hardships in our lives, we become a witness to the Gospel. Our lives become saturated with the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding. This doesn’t make any sense if you don’t know Christ! This is how Spafford could write a hymn praising the Lord mere days after all his children died in a shipwreck.
Readings: Habakkuk 3:2-6, 17-19; Psalm 27:1-7; 1 Corinthians 2:1-11; Matthew 5:13-20
