"A Life Shaped by the Cross" - 10am Traditional Eucharist

Oct 4, 2026 • The Rev. Dr. Sandi Kerner

This sermon teaches that our identity and righteousness before God do not come from religious achievement, personal pedigree, or outward performance, but entirely through the grace of Jesus Christ and faith in His finished work on the cross. Sequence 01 Using Paul and Saint Francis as examples, it calls believers to a cruciform life—a life shaped by the cross in which we surrender ourselves to Christ and stretch out our lives in humility, compassion, service, and obedience for the sake of others. Sequence 01 Sequence 01 Ultimately, the sermon encourages Christians to come humbly beneath the cross, receive God’s grace, healing, forgiveness, and resurrection power, and then carry that same gracious presence into the lives of a broken church and a suffering world.
