A sermon for the 2nd Sunday in Lent, Year C. We imitate the good qualities in the Apostle Paul because he was an imitator of God.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, have you heard the phrase “Monkey see - monkey do”? It is actually funny to watch monkey imitate their trainer.

Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 6, 2016

Let me begin this morning by asking you a few questions-how big is your God? How big is your faith? How big is the biggest prayer you have ever prayed? These three questions are very tightly connected. The size of your God will determine the size of you
