Coming Up Sunday, July 15

This week, we'll continue our "Summer Blockbuster Sermon Series" with a sermon discussing the new animated film, "Brave."  The latest feature from Pixar and Disney features a new fairy tale set in historic Scotland.  Here is the trailer:


The princess, Merida, is a headstrong young woman, determined to find her own way in the world instead of following tradition.  However, in trying to "change her fate," she discovers that there could be awful consequences to her independence.

This reminds me of the description of Christian believers found in the book of Hebrews.  After we are described as belonging to the "royal priesthood," the author details the many ancestors of faith, linking our faith to theirs.  What, as Christian believers, do we owe those who came before us?  What new paths can we take?  These are two questions of both "Brave" and the letter to the Hebrews, which we will consider Sunday.
