READ THE SERMON

July 9, 2023 | 5th Sunday after Pentecost

Elder Alan Willadsen

“TBA”

One constant (and constantly difficult-to-deal-with) part of life is change. Each of
today’s Scripture passages focus on how events challenge us to do something or be someone
different. In Genesis Isaac has a new principal woman in his life when his mother dies and he
marries Rebekah. Paul reminds us (and the Roman church) of our desire to change from our
sin-ways to do what is right and Jesus’s saving grace. When God is involved, there are some
people who are only happy when they are miserable and will not change their perspective on
others, complaining whether the other is fasting or feasting. Jesus challenges us to change our
perspective and rely on Him.

“Throughout the week, there are many worldly things pulling me away from my commitment to God.  I come to church on Sunday at Westminster to reconnect and renew my relationship with Him.  Part of my worship is to ask him for forgiveness for my lack of faithfulness.  I leave, reminded that he loves me, forgives me, and walks beside me every day.  What a profound blessing that is!”
