Sunday, September 6 - (8:15 A.M. & 11:00 A.M. Traditional & 9:45 A.M. Contemporary)Sermon - "Rethink Church"
Features - 14th Sunday After Pentecost & Holy Communion
Scripture - James 2:1-10 & Mark 7:24-37
Theme - Today’s Gospel reading is a difficult scripture for us because it offers us a side of Jesus that we don’t often see. In Jesus’ encounter with the Syrophoenician woman, he uses a negative term that was common in the 1st century. But thanks to this woman’s faith and determination, he rethinks his mission and ends up healing her daughter. What does it mean for us to rethink what it means to be the church? Who is God calling us to reach with God’s healing and unconditional love?
