Sunday, September 14 (8:30 A.M. and 11:00 A.M. Traditional and 9:45 A.M. Contemporary) Features -18th Sunday After Pentecost & Coins for Missions (Coins placed in the offering will help support St. Paul UMC Outreach Center in Dayton, FISH Food Pantry, the Caring Place Meal Ministry in Xenia, & IHN which provides temporary housing for families in need.)
Sermon Title - “Red Christians and Blue Christians”
Scriptures -Romans 14:1-12 & Matthew 18:21-35
Theme - We live in a labeling culture. When we disagree with someone, we tend to label that person as liberal or conservative which helps us to dismiss that person and not really listen to him or her. In this election year, what can we learn from the Christians in Rome who also played the labeling game? What does Paul teach us about relating to people in the church who hold different or even opposite opinions on issues we consider to be important?
