This is the second sermon in a series I preached on the ministry at Bethany Lutheran Church in Alexandria, Virginia.  Based on Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, this sermon is all about spiritual gifts and their use in the church.  

What Is Ministry? Pt. 2 - "Spiritual Gifts"

Sometimes it is the simplest things that are the most important.  We can preach about the role of the Church in Society and how Christians should have more of an influence on our government, but really the most important way that we can impact the world around us is by following the Ten Commandments.    It sounds as simple as Moses' words in Deuteronomy 30, "choose life!"  Unfortunately, the more we explore these commandments, the more complicated they seem.  What we need is simply God's love to help us be who we were meant to be.  [artwork by Beth Leeman]
