Title: What the Great Recession Can Teach Us: Time for a Moral Recovery
(John 2:13-17)

Sermon: Rev. Tim Burchill

Sermon date: 8/29/10

Length: 26:20

Summary: This Sunday we will beginning a new sermon series that will consider how we got into the economic and social mess we are in right now and how the God of Jesus Christ has laid out the pathway for our spiritual and moral recovery. Though much of the talk in recent months has been about sub prime loans, bundled derivatives, and double-dip recession, what we have really experienced is a failure to value the right things in the right way. Rather than asking, when will this be over, maybe we ought to be asking what can this recession teach us? Join us over the next several weeks as we explore a relevant word from God to the difficult circumstances we and our neighbors find ourselves in.
