Please enjoy this preview of Worship at First Presbyterian Church 1793
for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
The day after the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America, we celebrate Sunday worship in a congregation founded in 1793. This church family, of whom you are a part, has participated in 93% of the America’s experiment in democracy.
God cares for and about all continents, countries, and people. God consistently demonstrates love for everyone everywhere, all the time without exception.
Today’s Old Testament Lesson foretells a humble king who will “command peace to the nations” with dominion over the whole world. God encourages prisoners of hope to look toward the future.
Matthew speaks of an overly critical contemptuous generation for whom God’s messengers never get it right. There is no appreciation for the messages of John the Baptist and Jesus.
Yet Jesus never gives up on humanity. Matthew quotes Jesus as saying that the wise and the intelligent miss the point of the gospel. Yet the infants “Get it.”
Jesus promises to lighten our burdens. He is gentle and humble in heart, and provides rest for our souls, for his yoke is easy, and his burden is light.”
How do we strengthen our connections, (our unions) with God. How do we strengthen our union with each other? How does our compassion for others brighten the world with the love of Jesus Christ? How does the Holy Spirit inform our vision for ourselves, our nation, and our world?
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday for 10:30 a.m. Worship
