Title:
Leonard I. Sweet - "Pigeon-Walking, Whale-Watching, Wave-Riding, Water-Striding" (August 2, 1987)
Description:

  • The Church must keep in motion if it is not to succumb to the vice of small-mindedness. But there are particular types of motion that are proper to the Christian life. As Christians we must live lives of repentance (the ability to change direction); we must move in such as way as to leave oases of peace and refuge for the world; we must move fearlessly and joyfully into the turbulent waters of life; and we must be so immersed in the life of the Spirit that we can glide over the surface of life like water-striders do a creek. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 24:59. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 54:31.

  • Key quotation: “Motion is what keeps Christians spiritually breathing.”
