Special Worship with Dr. Brent Strawn
Sunday, March 2
Sanctuary
Dr. Brent Strawn is a professor of Old Testament studies at Duke University, specializing in biblical interpretation, the Psalms, and the theological significance of the Hebrew Scriptures. His scholarship and teaching contribute to a deeper understanding of the Old Testament’s role in faith, history, and contemporary Christian thought. His presence in our worship services on March 2 is a meaningful opportunity to gain fresh insight into scripture from one of the leading voices in the field.
In 1 Chronicles 29:1-19, King David leads the people in generously giving toward the construction of the temple, acknowledging that all they have comes from God. This passage highlights the themes of stewardship, humility, and the recognition that true success is not just about achievement but about faithfulness to God’s purposes.
Dr. Brent Strawn’s sermon, “Congratulations!…Not So Fast!”, may challenge us to reflect on what comes after moments of accomplishment—reminding us that gratitude, responsibility, and continued devotion to God are essential in both seasons of celebration and transition.
