Pastor Bartley Sawatsky - September 8, 2024
Vision Sunday 2024: New Wine
Renew Lead Pastor Bartley Sawatsky looks at how embracing new methods and passionate commitment can revitalize our church community in this inspiring message on Luke 5 and the parable of the wineskins.. Pastor Bartley dives into the parable of new wine and old wineskins from Luke 5. This teaching challenges us to embrace change and adapt our faith practices to our current context. Just as new wine requires new wineskins, the fresh work of God in our lives and community demands new approaches. We're reminded that while tradition has its place, we must be open to new expressions of faith to effectively reach our changing world. The imagery of wine also symbolizes joy and celebration, encouraging us to approach our faith journey with enthusiasm and passion. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can create 'new wine' in our own lives and church community, allowing God's work to flourish in fresh, relevant ways.
