Reckoning and Renewing: Midnight in America
from FBCDC Sermons (Video) Hosted by Rev. Kevin Peterman
First Baptist's five-week series, Reckoning and Renewing, is a chance to look honestly at our own story and our nation's, the dark pieces along with the redeeming ones. When we can name what's true about the past without flinching, that past loses its power to hold us in regret or shame. The series moves us a step further into freedom: naming what we've inherited, wrestling with how scripture itself has been used and misused, listening to our own members' stories, and finally asking what faithfulness looks like as we walk forward together. Rev. Kevin Peterman preaches "Midnight in America," from Acts 16:16-40, the story of Paul and Silas in jail. Readings: Isaiah 58:6-9a; Acts 16:16-40; Matthew 23:1-7, 23-28.
