Elim Extra for Sunday July 21, 2024

Pastor’s Reflection

 

Please welcome Pastor Steve Tharp to Elim’s pulpit this week! Steve and his wife Lynn lead Bible study at Elim and have attended a number of our worship services, so hopefully you will recognize him and give him a warm hello. Steve and Lynn have the biggest servant hearts you will ever find, so I know you will just love connecting in worship. I will miss being there!

 

We have wrapped up our summer sermon series on the questions of Jesus. The topics you have asked me to address from the pulpit have truly been incredible:

-Domestic violence

-Biblical inerrancy

-The 10 Commandments

-LGBTQ+ inclusion

-The historicity of Noah’s ark

-Economics and sharing our blessings

-The politics of Jesus

-Interfaith and religious pluralism

-Is it okay to grieve?

-Do animals have souls?

 

Dang, Fam. Your questions make the faith of Jesus so relevant to our lives. I hope you never stop asking them!

 

with love,

Pr. Chelsea
