Sermons About Claim
The Called Life
Along with God's claim on us - symbolized by our baptism - comes a call on our lives. Every disciple who opens herself/himself to the claim of God on our lives will hear a call. To hear the call, however, is not easy. In fact, it may be the most challenging moment in a disciple's life.

Do All Roads Lead to Life?
Matthew 7:13-14 says"...broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." One of the most common misconceptions about the world religions is that at the core of their beliefs, they are all the same. The analogy of a mountain with many roads that lead to the top, or the picture of an elephant surrounded by blind men trying to describe what they are touching, is used to explain that religion is really "ONE" but that the roads or paths to getting there are simply different. On a simplistic level, one might affirm the common spiritual desire that points people toward a spiritual reality. The pursuit of the transcendent is common in all cultures – anthropologists call it the "god-consciousness". But upon closer evaluation, one quickly sees that each religion has exclusive claims that set it apart from the other. In the midst of our pluralistic culture, one must ask: so which road does indeed lead to life? Key Passage: 1 Kings 18:16-39
