Pastor Erin's sermon today was on the Gospel of Matthew 7:13-14 (Sermon on the Mount) about the narrow and wide gates. Good sermon illustrations using photos of the different gates of the walled city of Jerusalem; the wide gates that everyone would use and where all of the mainstream events of the city would be held in contrast to the narrow servant gates that are few and hidden. Pastor Erin makes the point that our modern day "Wide gates" are the things that we in our American culture seek (comfortable life, bigger house, i.e. the American Dream). How are we as Christian live our lives any different from any one else? What is the "Narrow Gate" that we should seek.
13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destructions, and many are those who enter by it". 14 "For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it."
