As part of my seminary instruction and preparation for ministry, one of our required classes at Fuller Northwest is Homiletics. In this preaching course, we are given the opportunity to preach for one another and to hear future pastors in action. For my second sermon, I chose a passage from Paul's letter to the Ephesians in which he is reminding that fledgling congregation that because they know the hope that is found in Christ Jesus, they are called to act in ways that are different from the dark, tumultuous world around them.
