Sermon Notes:
- The issue behind the question in Chs 8-10: what is true maturity?
- True maturity understands how the cross reorders our priorities:
v1-3 The purpose of knowledge …is love (not pride)
“Your knowledge doesn't show what you think it shows!”
v4-6 The goal of life …is our Father (not our freedom)
“God’s uniqueness doesn’t mean what you think it means!”
v7-13 The danger we worry about …is losing souls (not looking weak)
“Your message doesn't say what you think it says!”

A brief reflection for Remembrance Sunday
Readings: Deuteronomy 6:4–12, Luke 23:32-43
On memory...
We long for remembrance, because we are human
Memory values our past
Memory values our future
Our memories fail, because we are human
Memory is a wonderful but finite gift
God also gives us means to preserve our memory of himself
True hope lies in the one who remembers us
