Guest Speaker Clara Voss – God Is – New Creation Lutheran Church

Guest speaker Clara Voss with Her Sermon “God Is”

Guest speaker Clara Voss brings a fresh perspective to the congregation at New Creation Lutheran Church, vividly illustrating the immeasurable nature of God’s wisdom and strength. She begins her sermon with a lighthearted confession about her musical talents, and then transitions to deep truths of God’s character. Anchored by 1 Corinthians 1:25, Clara digs into scripture to affirm that God’s “foolishness” surpasses human wisdom and God’s “weakness” eclipses our greatest strength.

Clara asks her listeners to consider the place God holds in their lives, challenging them to reflect on how they recognize and respond to God’s omnipresence.

Through her exploration, Clara reminds us of various divine attributes highlighted across the Bible – God as a mighty warrior in Joshua, a healer in the story of the woman with the issue of blood, and a provider of living water to the Samaritan woman at the well.

Clara’s message is an invitation to acknowledge and prioritize God’s presence in daily life. She emphasizes the importance of community and shared faith experiences as catalysts for spiritual growth and joy. These collective moments, Clara notes, are not just social but pivotal in fostering a deeper connection with God and with one another.

Her sermon weaves together narratives of biblical figures who experience God’s immense power and grace firsthand, illustrating God as an integral, active presence in our lives. By aligning daily living with these divine attributes, Clara inspires a commitment to both understanding and experiencing God more deeply in everyday interactions and personal challenges.
