Coming of Age
Have you ever thought about how your faith has evolved over time? What are your first memories of belief and practice? How is that different from what you believe and do now? Faith is not supposed to be a static part of our lives. You shouldn't acquire it at a certain point and then put it on auto-pilot. Our priorities and needs change as we grow older and our understanding of God and the role of faith in our lives need to change and grow with us. In this sermon Fr. Garrett examines two Biblical coming of age stories (Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7 and Matthew 4:1-11) to pull out lessons for how we can recognize and capitalize on opportunities to mature our faith.
