This online worship service was led by Rev. Joan Pell. Scripture: Matthew 16:121-28. Hymns are from Singing the Faith, numbers 75, 518 and 673. Video and audio available and the written text for the sermon. This is the last sermon in the five-week series living outside the box.

We try to box God in, but God is always breaking out of the box and shattering our understandings of life in God’s kingdom. Jesus says, ‘Take up your cross and follow me.’ What load are we being asked to bear as we get out of our safe boxes and carry them rather than sitting inside of them?
