The Problem of Wineskins

Jesus warned of new wine in old wineskins. He is touching on the pattern of renewal, decay, renewal. How does the church make sure that it stays healthy and filled with new wine? This sermon explores the challenges facing the church with each passing generation and how we can be blessed by one another.

Luke 5:39

And no one, having drunk old wine, [a]immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is [b]better.’
