The Tin Man

Summary

The sermon uses the story of the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz to illustrate how evil can lead us to "chop off our own limbs" through actions like lust, lies, jealousy, and selfishness. The practical takeaway is to recognize these destructive tendencies within ourselves and, through God's help, work towards rebuilding a more complete and loving self. The message is delivered in anticipation of communion, suggesting a spiritual renewal.
