Title:
William H. Willimon - "The Distance of God" (August 26, 1990)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: 21:01. Sermon end time: 42:04.

  • This sermon talks about the mystery of God. The preacher argues that God’s wisdom, knowledge, and unmeasurable mercy are caught up in the purposes of God, and the church sits in awe before God’s glory. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: "Sometimes you come to church to be told what to do, to figure out life, come up with a definition, an explanation. But some Sundays we just come to play in the gaps, to revel in the glorious distance."
