Reformation Hope Church

Sermon by Dr.Wayne Sedlak is entitled: Bearing Fruit...Bringing Forth More Fruit, Based on John 15:1-27 Grace of God's Holy Law: Zechariah 4:1-14; Hebrews 11:1-10. Refresh your understanding of Acts 23 as it will be referenced. Zechariah is awakened from his sleep and is confronted with images of a candlestick and olive branches. As he stares on at the images and does not know what they mean. Similarly, the Church being asleep is being awakened and is confronted with the reality that is in front of her. And she does not understand. In this sermon Dr. Reverend Sedlak instructs us on what Zerubbabel was confronted with, which was hatred and division, to what we are confronted with and how the Lord commanded Zerubbabel to "Not despise the day of small things." In the midst of all the confusion, the Church is commanded to bring the Altar forward, as worship of the Lord is paramount, and the principal founding element of the Christian life; as testified by Abraham in his quest through the land of Canaan.
