HPUMC - Sanctuary Sermons (Traditional Worship)

Empty. What comes to your mind when you hear the word “empty"? Sometimes it refers to the absence of something; we open a box, and there is nothing in it. Sometimes it’s a feeling; something or someone important seems to be missing from our lives. Sometimes it’s a verb, the act of removing content and leaving an openness; we empty the trash. Physicists tell us that nature abhors a vacuum, and how we fill that emptiness really matters.
In this sermon, we’re going to start thinking about emptiness. It’s something many authors and social scientists think too many of us are experiencing these days. But, as usual, God has an idea about the problem. And sometimes God teaches us in the most unexpected ways.
