In a world that craves comfort, Jesus calls his disciples to something harder and more meaningful. Though the disciples repeatedly failed and chose comfort over faithfulness, grace had the final word. We are made worthy not by our own effort, but by Christ. And it is in that spirit that we are sent out, not to offer easy answers, but to bring the consolation of a God who is present with us in both joy and sorrow. #sermons #ordinarytime #firstchristianchurch

When Jesus sees the crowds oppressed and thrown down, he feels their suffering in his own body and responds not by doing all the work himself, but by commissioning unlikely, imperfect disciples—then and now—to participate in his ministry of restoration, proclaiming through their words and lives that the kingdom of heaven has come near. #sermons #ordinarytime #firstchristianchurch
