11:15am Sermon, The Rev. Phillip A. Jackson: "Who Are You Doing It All For?"

“He came not to be the light, but to testify and point to the light.” Today’s readings include some of the most well-known passages in the Bible –from Mary’s Magnificat, to Paul’s oldest letter in Thessalonians, to John 1:21– and they all teach the same fundamental Christian truth, preaches the Rev. Phillip A. Jackson. “It’s not about us. It’s about us pointing, reflecting, magnifying, and proclaiming the glory of God; not our own.” Consider for a moment what you think your job is and who are you doing it all for? The scriptures are Isaiah 40:1-11; Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13; 2 Peter 3:8-15a; and Mark 1:1-8.
