Apr. 19 Rev. Sears, “A Matter of Perspective”

Posted by Tim on April 21, 2015

Apr. 19 Rev. Sears, “A Matter of Perspective”: John and Janet Martin bought last year’s sermon at the auction. The sermon will deal with our sense of perspective as we look at something or experience it. An example of this would be something that happened this past week, while I was in Philadelphia. A friend, whose mother was a prominent art collector, was telling me about some of his paintings. One is by Pablo Picasso, from the cubist period. When I asked him to describe it, he told me how he has to look at it from various angles to put everything together. Think of the different ways that you can describe one of your life experiences when you look at it from various perspectives.
