Preacher Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “Discipleship Identity”
In Jesus’s mission-giving in our Gospel lesson, he prepares his disciples for what they may face as they choose to live out the Good News Jesus has been teaching. While there are a great many ways those earliest Christ-followers faced real peril that you and I never will, there are yet strong words here about what kind of cost discipleship will have – or should have – on our lives. Is discipleship our primary identity, or something else?
This is the season after Pentecost in the Christian year. Having celebrated the “birthday of the church” through the giving of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, we enter the Season after Pentecost for 24 weeks, to celebrate the existence of the church and recall her mission in the world. The liturgical color for the season is green, symbolic of the church’s growth and mission. On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate communion, and the liturgical color changes to white to recognize the holiness and majesty of Christ.
