Sermon Illustrations

If you have a moment some time, check out the Calvin window on the south side of the sanctuary. If you look near the bottom, we will see an engraving of Calvin’s crest: a flaming heart in an outstretched hand, extended upward to God. Calvin chose this symbol to declare the central core of his self-understanding, and, when he set it down on paper, he prayed this prayer: “My heart I give Thee, O Lord, eagerly and sincerely.”
