After a couple of weeks considering Jesus' celebrated sermon found in Matthew 5 and a special and wonderful service dedicating our new hymnal, we turn our attention to the apostle Paul's instruction to the church at Corinth to build their faith on none other than Jesus Christ. While this instruction may seem as obvious as the powerfully bright sun on a cloudless day, it was an important reminder for those earliest of all Christians and for us too. Throughout the story of Christianity, many have become sidetracked with a devout attention to the tradition of the faith, rather than to the founder of our faith. This Sunday, we will illustrate how the content of faith can get in the way of the essence of faith. It will be a challenging, but necessary lesson as we seek to live kindly and thoughtfully as faithful followers of Jesus Christ in the 21st Century.
