The Most Excellent Way

Sunday will be the last sermon I preach as the Pastor of Cornerstone MCC. I have given much thought as to what I would like it to be. I have prayed and asked what God would have it to be. And I came up empty. So I decided to do what I did for the first sermon I preached in Corpus Christi twenty-one years ago - I consulted the lectionary. And as God would have it, I'm preaching from I Corinthians 13, one of my favorite text. 

Most of us live good or very good lives and God is calling us to strive for a more excellent way of living and serving. It is the way of love. In our culture we think we fall in and out of love as fate dictates. But in God's truth, we have control and the power to choose love. I'm not suggesting that love is easy, but I do believe love is worth the effort. I also believe that the more you love, the easier it becomes.

Join us Sunday as we seek to learn more of the most excellent way - the way of love.

Rev Sandy, Pastor
