READ THE SERMON

July 10, 2022 – 5th Sunday after Pentecost
Rev. Denise Clark-Jones

“THE MEASURE OF LOVE”

The scripture readings this Sunday explore the meaning of righteousness.  The prophet Amos uses the image of a plumb-line to show that the law of God does not bend to human agendas. The epistle reading from Colossians focuses on the process of sanctification, learning more about God, and being open to the Holy Spirit’s guidance in following Christ with love and service.  The gospel reading from Luke is the famous parable of the good Samaritan. Jesus uses this parable to describe God’s extravagant outpouring of love and mercy and what it means to be a neighbor in the image of God.

“As a newcomer to Westminster,  I’ve found it to be a most welcoming fellowship.  I look forward to going to services and events and find the warmth of the congregation to be most helpful to a newcomer to the entire area.  I find sermons challenging … music beautiful and well prepared … and a dignity in the worship that is all too lacking in most Protestant congregations.  Mix this with an open atmosphere where it is OK to question and still be seen as a good Christian, and I know I’ve found one important ‘home’ in Central Illinois.”
