What does it mean to be Presbyterian?

CPC Weekly Sermon

Ever wondered what makes Presbyterianism unique and how it has evolved over the years? Join us on a journey to explore the values, traditions, and theologies of Presbyterianism, as we discuss its welcoming and open-minded nature, as well as its system of government that still stands strong today. We'll also offer insights into how Presbyterianism compares to the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, providing a fresh perspective for those who have grown up in that tradition.
Delving into the rich history of Presbyterianism, we trace its roots back to the Reformation and the Church of Scotland, examining the various denominations and their differing theologies. Learn how John Calvin's teachings, such as predestination and his rejection of religious symbols, have influenced some non-denominational churches today. We also explore the significance of communion as an act of remembrance and the importance of being drawn into the presence of God. Finally, we discuss the concept of God's grace and the expectations that come with being part of a faith community, including fellowship, worship, and practicing our faith together.
