Service Notes
Join us for this powerful sermon from Christ Church, Frederica as Rev. Bill Barton explores one of the most challenging passages in Luke's Gospel - when Jesus speaks of bringing division rather than peace. Through the beloved story of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Rev. Barton illuminates why we sometimes encounter a Jesus who makes us uncomfortable, and how that discomfort can lead to transformation.
Delivered on August 17, 2025, at our beautiful Episcopal church on St. Simons Island, Georgia, this message reminds us that even the difficult words of Jesus come from a place of love - love that seeks to soften our hearts and open us to God's grace.
Key Themes:
- Finding Jesus in uncomfortable scripture
- The spiritual lessons of Scrooge's transformation
- Baptism by fire that burns away impurities
- How honest confrontation can lead to grace
Join our Thursday morning Bible study "The Interpreter's Table" at 11 AM in the vestry room - all are welcome as we study Luke's Gospel together.
