READ THE SERMON

August 6, 2023 | 10th Sunday after Pentecost

Rev. Dr. Linda Philabaun

“COMPASSION OF CHRIST”

St. Augustine once preached a sermon in which he proposed a kind of self-test to see if we love God.

Suppose God proposed a deal and said, “I will give you anything you want. You can possess the whole world.  Nothing will be impossible for you, nothing will be a sin, nothing forbidden.  You will never die, never have pain, never have anything you do not want, and always have anything you want–except for just one thing: you will never see my face.”

“What good is it for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit one’s soul?”  Mk. 8:36

“Why am I a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church?  Two words keep  floating up in a rather persistent way  –  “home” and  “family” – and I realized that it is an inescapable fact that is what this church means to me. During my 40 years here, so many life events have happened and Westminster has been there for me through all those times – good and bad.    It has been my home and family.  They say “home is where the heart is” and I’ve found the heart of Westminster to be as open and warm as a family’s!”
