The Sermon Title:
Love More
Rev. Harriet J. Bryan
The Gospel: I John 4: 7-21
Points to Ponder:
How do we respond in the face of senseless acts of terror?
• We pray.
• We lament.
• We cling (to God and one another).
• We resolve as followers of Jesus to continue to be agents of healing, reconciliation, and peace in a world filled with risk, danger, and uncertainty. We resolve not to allow fear to drive us to isolation, rash anger, or despair. We resolve to do what we can, where we can, when we can to live a compelling witness, to speak words of life, to stand among victims and against evil.
--Rev. Jeff Stark, Bridgeway Community Church
