“Citizens with Welcome”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on August 25, 2024.
Continues this summer’s Finding Faith Off the Beaten Path sermon series.
Covers Isaiah 56:1-8 and Philippians 3:17-4:1.
There are many groups and situations in our lives that make the question of what it takes to belong and who is an “insider” or an “outsider” a big focus. That can make any of us feel worried or under pressure about being “outsiders,” and thrilled and relieved when we are welcomed as “insiders.” God operates by a unique set of values and definitions for belonging in God’s Kingdom than we see in the world around us most of the time, and we can be encouraged where we have been welcomed to offer welcome to others, too.
