A Renewed 'Yes': Matthew 28:16-20, 2 Corinthians 1:20

Have you ever heard the saying, “You don’t have a ‘yes’ unless you have a ‘no’”? A true yes requires agency—the freedom to choose. When it comes to life in the church, that freedom matters deeply. When we serve, worship, and create because we have freely and purposefully chosen to, we tap into the inexhaustible resource of God’s love—a love that leads, cares, and supports, but doesn’t coerce. As we conclude our sermon series, Joining a Greater Movement for Wholeness, we open ourselves to the possibility of a renewed yes, or a new yes, to our place in the mission of witness and service to all people.
