Countless headlines and innumerable broken lives recount that sad story. Politicians who lie; Hollywood celebrities who unravel before our eyes; ordinary people who “can’t see anything wrong with” acts that once were verboten… well, you get the point—character has gone south. In such a setting, which direction is north, true north? Which direction do we take to the land of true character? Another way to ask the question is, In a world such as this one, of what does real character consist? The purpose of the sermon series which begins today is to explore certain elements of genuine, deep, and lasting character. We do so in the hope that every single one of us—preacher and listener alike—will, by the grace of God, make it our life’s aim to grow in Christ and grow in character.
