Sermon brings legal logic to biblical counsel

Tomorrow morning, Sunday, September 28, I will have the privilege of speaking to North Scituate Baptist Church (NSBC) in Rhode Island about Hebrews 13:5.

The verse (NIV) reads:

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

I hope to share some legal logic with the congregation, breaking down the verse as a statement of causation. I'll also describe how I found evidence of the verse's causal truth when I traveled to one of my favorite places in 2020, Ghana.

When the service is available online, I will link to it here (message archive; YouTube channel; full service). Meanwhile and for then, below are the slides I will share (all RJ Peltz-Steele CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).

I'm grateful to my friends at NSBC, especially for the support of Pastor Kim Nelson, administrator Gretchen Pino, and musical coordinator Linda Farynyk. Thanks to my friend Eric D'Agostino for pointing me to the prayer of Julian of Norwich.

I wish all a blessed first weekend of autumn.
