Sunday Sermon: To Build, To Hew, and To Plant

This morning in worship we will turn to one of my favorite passages of Scripture, Deuteronomy 6:10–14a. Together we’ll discover how we are inheritors of God’s good gifts—both personally and as a community. As we give thanks for the gifts of God passed down through our forebears who shaped the life of faith at Idlewild, we will also pause to remember the countless saints who have poured into each of our lives. Who are the spiritual guides, teachers, mentors, coaches, and friends who have formed your faith? Come and join us as we listen for how God is calling each of us to build up the faith of another. Sermon on Deuteronomy 6:10-14a, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on September 21st, 2025.
