Let It Flow

Pastor Earl preaches as we continue our sermon series, “Abundant Life” and hearing the scripture passage from a new translation of the Bible called First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament.

“Aliveness, Jesus will teach, is a gift available to all by God's grace. It flows not from taking, but giving, not from fear but from faith, not from conflict but from reconciliation, not from domination but from service. It isn't found in the upper trappings of religion -rules and rituals, controversies and scruples, temples and traditions. No, it springs up from our innermost being like a fountain of living water. It intoxicates us like the best wine ever and so turns life from disappointment into a banquet.”
