Theme for 2025: Flourishing Together: Rooted in Christ
Theme for Spring 2025: Walk This Way!
HUMAN FLOURISHING: One of the domains currently being researched in the Global Flourishing Study is Character and Virtue.
INAUGURATED ESCHATOLOGY: We live in the intersection of This Present Evil Age and The Age to Come. Personal application of this reality is seen in the Apostle Paul’s teachings that the transformation of our inner character, revealed through virtuous living, is the anticipation of our promised future state as believers in the Age to Come.
I’m going to begin the message with a series of photos of Fashion Designers – to quiz the congregation to see if they know them by sight:
Coco Chanel
Calvin Klein
Girogio Armani
Ralph Lauren
Tom Ford
Donna Karan
God is the original Fashion Designer!
We must deal radically with our earthly nature!
These clothes no longer fit!
In Christ, we’ve been fitted for a new wardrobe by the greatest Fashion Designer!
