Come join us on Wednesday nights as we delve into "The Weight of Glory," the famous sermon delivered during the darkest days of World War II by C.S. Lewis at the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Oxford. This brilliant work, which we will set in context, is full of theological gems that are remarkably resonant with issues at play in today's culture and our longing for relationship and beauty. Over the course of this next month, we will unpack the many important things Lewis has to say in this sermon and consider how to apply them in following Jesus today.
