Letting Go To Move Forward | Bishop Bob Farr | Church of the Resurrection

About this sermon

In this heartfelt and timely sermon, Bishop Bob Farr reflects on the challenges of the past few years—from pandemics and natural disasters to deep divisions within the church and the world. Drawing from his own experiences and leadership as a United Methodist bishop, he explores how we move forward when life feels uncertain and broken, and how the act of letting go plays a critical role in healing and transformation. Through powerful personal stories and practical wisdom, Bishop Farr reminds us of the importance of remembering who we are—beloved children of God—and why worship, rest, and reflection matter. He points us back to what Jesus said was most important: love God and love others. Everything else, no matter how impressive, falls short without love at the center. This message invites us to examine what we’ve been carrying, what we need to release, and how to move forward in a way that reflects Christ. It challenges us to be salt in a hurting world—to be life-giving, grace-filled people who show up with compassion, courage, and radical love. Don’t miss this encouraging and eye-opening sermon. Whether you're walking through change, wrestling with faith, or simply looking for clarity on what matters most—this message will meet you right where you are.
