Holy Week Sermon Series: The Will of God

How do we make sense of a world that crucifies God? And how do we understand a God who submits to crucifixion? Rector Morgan Allen will draw on the work of English theologian Leslie Weatherhead and explore God’s will in three Sunday sermons:

Sun., 4/2 (Palm Sunday): “The Intentional Will of God”

Watch the recording or read the first sermon in the series here.

 

Thurs., 4/ 6 (Maundy Thursday): “The Circumstantial Will of God”

Read the second sermon in the series here.

 

Sun., 4/9 (Easter Day): “The Ultimate Will of God”

Watch the recording or read the last sermon in the series here.

The Rev. Leslie Weatherhead served as minister of City Temple, London, from 1936-1960. During World War II, Weatherhead wrestled with the collision of a loving God and the reality of war, and he published The Will of God in 1944. 

Recordings of the Sermon Series will be posted to trinitychurchboston.org/sermons, and linked here, when they are available. You can also download a PDF of all three sermons in one file here.
