Thomas Bergen - “Spiritual Warfare for Mennonites I: The Call to War”
Sermon Recording: Download
TOPIC
Thomas Bergen pointed out that spiritual warfare is demanding, a real war, and is actually a call to love. Do we fail to hear Christ's call to war by downplaying the commitment expected of us, denying the reality of Satan, or using the language in Ephesians 6 to justify violence? Will we join Christ in the way of the Cross to sacrifice our lives to struggle in love for the weak and powerless? We then heard Thomas' Christianized adaptation of Shakespeare's St. Crispin's Day speech, dramatically read by his brother, Richard. [KH]
