Wine into Wineskins
In this thought-provoking sermon, Rev. Fred Amborn draws from Josh Scott’s Parables: Putting Jesus’ Stories in Their Place to reframe one of Jesus’ most familiar — and often misunderstood — images. Moving beyond simple moral lessons, Rev. Fred invites us to see the parable of the wine and wineskins as a call to openness, flexibility, and transformation. When the Spirit is doing something new, clinging to old ways can cause us to miss the fresh, life-giving work of God. This message challenges us to expand our hearts and communities so that the “new wine” of grace can flourish in vessels ready to hold it.
