“The Toxic We’re Supposed to Take”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on October 26, 2025.
Continues the fall Companions to Conversion sermon series.
Covers Deuteronomy 10:12-22 and Galatians 5:13-15 & 5:22-6:5
Conversion is meant to have dramatic impact in our lives - throughout our lives as we’re called and formed to more faithfulness to God and experience of salvation life. We can focus mostly on positive feelings with this, but it is true that there are also things in our lives that we are tempted to hold onto, but that should be let go of and cut out for what is best. Sometimes folks have taken to calling some of God’s values coming to bear in our lives “toxic,” but that misses the point that God’s love and grace should be toxic to the parts of ourselves that get in the way of loving like God loves and experiencing the diverse community who are often overlooked that God’s Kingdom brings together.
