Scripture includes: Matthew 18:21-35

Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “The Measure of Forgiveness”

In our Gospel lesson for this week, Jesus addresses the issue of forgiveness among believers. Using a hyperbolic parable, we are told that forgiveness for followers of Jesus has no limit, and our grace should have the measure of God’s.

Scripture includes: Psalm 119:33-40 and Matthew 18:15-20

Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “The Spirit of Togetherness”

In our Gospel lesson, we find ourselves in a section of a chapter dedicated to Jesus’s teachings about how people who follow him ought to relate to one another. These injunctions to believers are meant to draw people together in the name of Christ, but in different and specific ways. Today’s passage is one that has been interpreted in many ways over the centuries. Let’s revisit what it might mean for us today.

Scripture includes: Romans 12:9-21

Living together in community with other followers of Jesus requires intentionality. Let’s explore with the Apostle Paul what it means to take seriously our roles in relationship to God and one another this week.
