"Road Trip" Sermon #17 - "Diversity"

Message # 17 in my "Road Trip" series at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church

Title: "Diversity"

Summary: This message isn't about "diversity" per se, as in the cultural dynamics around race, gender etc. Rather, it discusses how recognizing that people are all different is a very important safeguard for us as we seek to grow as disciples. We don't necessarily need to look like each other, or follow the same path.

"Road Trip" Sermon #15 - "Guardrails"

Message # 15 in my "Road Trip" series at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church.

Title: "Guardrails"

Summary: When we set out to grow as disciples we start on a journey that comes with some risks. Like driving a car, we can "go off the road" to the right or to the left. In discipleship terms, that means getting stuck in guilt and shame one one side, or pride and complacency on the other. Fortunately, the Lord has put "guardrails" in place along our journey to help us stay safe and keep moving forward.
