Pentecost 16

Preacher:
Passage: Lamentations 1:1-10, Psalm 137, 2 Timothy 1:1-14, Luke 17:5-10
As we begin this chapter together, I hope you will join me in committing ourselves to four things:
  1. To a life of honesty in prayer, collectively and in private;
  2. To being generous in expressing gratitude for the immense blessings we have received in what we have inherited, whether we’ve been here fifty years, or like me having come along in recent days;
  3. To embracing a collective life together that is marked by humility, care, and seeking to understand.
  4. To being courageous in rekindling the flame of God’s spirit that is within us.
