It’s so easy to sound noble when a circumstance is purely hypothetical. Let me give you a couple of examples to make my case: We say we care about the opioid crisis that’s wreaking havoc among America’s youth today, but are we willing to open our home to them till they conquer their addiction? Or, we say we’re Prolife through and through, but are we willing to adopt the child of the next client at Bright Hope Pregnancy Support Center who chooses life, then adoption, for her as yet unborn child? You see, we can talk a good game, but are we willing to walk out onto the sociological ballfield to play?
This coming Sunday, we’ll be turning a subject corner in our ongoing study of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Church in Rome. Having just finished expounding on the doctrine of Sanctification, how we can sustain our walk of faith, Paul next addressed a topic that logically sprang into the minds of many a Jew who had been listening to Paul’s letter read aloud in their ancient church: “What about us? What has become of our Chosen People status since Christianity appears to have pushed us to the side? What about all those Promises God had made to us in time past?”
Why not join us this Sunday, either in person or on livestream, as we begin to answer this fair question in the sermon I have entitled, “A Cursed Exchange?”
