On Sunday, February 16, 2025, the First Presbyterian Church gathered for worship led by Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin, who shared the sermon “Terribly Happy (Woefully Blessed).”
Here are a few questions to ponder for the sermon:
- What were people in the crowd expecting from Jesus that day?
- Why is it important that Jesus “looked up at his disciples” before teaching about blessing and woe?
- How did Jesus’ teaching turn things upside down for people who had wealth, power, and privilege—the ones society considered to be blessed by God?
- What is Jesus seeking from our congregation and from our lives as members?
- What impact might this have as we live as disciples and witnesses today?
