“This week we will look at the inward and outward character traits of Christians regarding hospitality. My sermon text comes to us from Romans 15:1-13, and it looks at Paul’s thoughts on what has been promised since God first chose Abraham to be made into a great nation. And as we look at the inward and outward nature of hospitality in Christians, we will live out a wonderful example in the confirming of eight young adults who will publicly remember their baptism and profess their faith at the 10:35 a.m. service. Many see confirmation as simply the day in which they join the church, but the real importance of Confirmation is in the accepting of the vows made originally in baptism—the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord of his or her life and the commitment to live as a disciple of Jesus.”

“We have been looking at prayer the past few weeks. This week we’ll look at prayer from a different angle—in the context of Luke’s story about Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38- 42). Today, our culture values hectic schedules and the never-ending pursuit of productivity. Many today can relate to Martha. Similarly, over the centuries in the life of the church, this text has been interpreted to place greater value on the contemplative life. If all of our activity in life distracts us and leaves us no time to be still in the Lord’s pres- ence, are we surprised that our lives, too, may be anxious and troubled? Come Sunday as we look at the ‘One Thing’ Jesus refers to in this passage.”
