What We Became After The Smoke

This sermon, “What We Became After the Smoke Cleared,” reflects on the 25th anniversary of September 11 and challenges us to remember not only what happened, but who we became in the days that followed. Through Galatians 6:2, it reminds us that loving our neighbors, carrying one another’s burdens, serving others, and walking in unity should not require a tragedy to awaken them in us. The message calls believers to live every day with the compassion, generosity, and unity that often emerge during times of crisis. Ultimately, it challenges us to let the Gospel continually produce what tragedy only awakens temporarily: love, service, peace, and the character of Christ.
