(Sermon preached August 6, 2023) What does it mean to be Christian? How do the concepts of heaven/hell impact the way we understand what it means to be Christian? This sermon is just an introduction to an alternative to the heaven/hell framework. It is the first in a series called “Speaking Christian” based loosely on the book with the same name by Marcus Borg where we will be exploring the language of our faith through the lens of progressive Christianity. This sermon touches briefly on what some people think is the summation of the gospel, John 3:16.
