We are a community called to go beyond our differences, to allow the baggage that we bring in from the world to be pried loose, to hold fast to hope and faith when there is no reason for it - no reason other than the gift of grace that we have received and that is waiting for us to drink from its depths, to pray when we can’t see a way through, a community that is called to wait with expectation, and to share Jesus’s living water with others who need it.
We are not here only for ourselves. We are here for the world, for each other.
(Sermon begins at: 41:00)
