Healing Memories Part 2 - Leanne Payne
Jan 25, 2001 • Leanne Payne
The sermon explores the potential pitfalls of focusing on Christian symbolism as a replacement for genuine faith, cautioning against formalism that obscures the transcendent reality it should point towards. Drawing on insights from liturgical tradition and psychological understanding, the speaker emphasizes that symbols, sacraments, and even memories function as windows revealing a greater truth, and that focusing on the symbol itself rather than the divine source diminishes its power. Ultimately, the message advocates for a holistic approach to faith, integrating symbolic understanding with personal experience and prayer, allowing the Holy Spirit to supplant broken images with the transformative power of Christ.
