In this sermon Marc wraps up our series in Chronicles, focusing on the Lord's commitment to his plans and purposes and the invitation to ongoing faithfulness “while we wait”. 2 Chronicles 36:15-21
This week's sermon was a first-person narrative in which Marc explored the question of faithfulness from the perspective of Manasseh. The premise was that the majority of Manasseh's reign, which was marked by compromise, was influenced by the outcome of his father, Hezekiah's rebellion. Seeking to ensure Judah's future, he followed the example of his politically successful grandfather, Ahaz, rather than his faithful father. It wasn't until Manasseh was imprisoned that he reconsidered his father's example and realised that faithfulness is its own reward. 2 Chronicles 33:1-20
As part of National Baptism week (an initiative of Crossover Australia, part of the Baptist movement) we set aside this past Sunday to focus on baptism. In particular the commitments that baptismal candidates make when they are baptised. While the actual wording may differ across different denominations and church traditions, the general idea is remarkably consistent and linked with the symbolism of baptism. Acts 9:1-19a
