What kind of a question is, “Whose gifts?” anyway?

Epiphany 2If you have been following me for any length of time in this blog or in any of the churches I have preached in then you know two things about me.* First, I like sermon titles that are questions and second, I like to talk about spiritual gifts; this Sunday we got both!

There is something about asking and answering a question that often, for me at least, stimulates some new thinking or a different perspective. The question this Sunday pushed me to think about the nature of gifts and givers both and I think provided some opportunities for thoughtful consideration.

Knox Presbyterian Whose Gifts?

St. Mark’s Presbyterian Whose gifts?

As always, I’d love to hear what you think of these sermons. The comments section here is quite bare and waiting for, well, anything really. Facebook is always a possibility or email me directly if you prefer.

Blessings,

Barry
