This sermon calls us to gather as one body in Christ, to renew our faith, and to be set free by Jesus who sees us, heals us, and empowers us with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Drawing on Hebrews and the story of the bent-over woman, we are reminded that worship is not about order alone: it is about gratitude: standing tall in God’s grace, lifting our hearts in thanksgiving, and rallying together to shine Christ’s light to the world.
