Psalm 20

2 Corinthians 5:6-17

Mark 4:26-34

Kenny Benge preached a sermon entitled “We Have This Treasure in Clay Jars...” based on 2 Corinthians 4:7-5:1 for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost on June 9, 2012. ·       The Corinthians wanted resurrection without the cross, but Paul rules out this distortion of the Gospel. We can be people who embody the Gospel of Jesus Christ only if we are people who go through suffering, danger, difficulty and failure. The shape and rhythm of the Christian life is patterned after Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Kenny Benge preached a sermon entitled “For Christ Plays In Ten Thousand Places” for the Trinity Sunday on June 2, 2012. The events of salvation history--Creation, Fall, Incarnation, Cross, Resurrection, Ascension, Penetecost, and the life of the church itself--give us a historical map of the Trinitarian life of God, for it is the only way we as humans can observe it--in space and time; in history. In Christ, we become who God meant us to be as we participate in His life, as the poem "As Kingfishers Catch Fire," by Gerald Manley Hopkins so beautifully portrays.
