May 25, 2025 - For the Church at the St. John Church of Christ
Sermons have become one of the focal points of the Church service. Sermons can be helpful to us to be reminded of the attitudes and actions that God desires from each of us. Sermons are most often delivered by a preacher or sometimes a fill-in preacher, but sermons should be preached by all Christians.
Saint Francis of Assisi once said, “The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.” I think this is so important for us to think about. In Exodus 19, God tells Israel that they are to be a Kingdom of priests – and he continues that directive to us (the Church), in 1 Peter 2 when he calls us a kingdom of priests. Godly people live their lives in such a way that people see God’s character through our actions.
Many Christians feel that it is the “preacher’s” job to go out and evangelize – or maybe the preacher and the elders and deacons – but it is actually the job of all Christians to share Christ with the world. When you go out, into the world, this week – remember that your actions and your deeds are displaying who you are, but if you are Christian they actually should display who God is. It is not just the “preacher’s” job to give sermons – it is all Christians as we live our lives daily for Him in the world.
So, this week choose kindness, humility, mercy, grace, and love. Choose to go out of your way to bless someone that you encounter. Hold the door for someone, help someone with their groceries, leave a larger tip than was earned, use kind words, be patient when someone cuts you off in traffic, and anything else that shows the world who God is. Be the sermon daily.
