9.15.24 - Ben McBride Preaches a Message: Faithful Practice

from Valley Presbyterian Church · host Valley Presbyterian Church

We live in communities fraught with othering, be it for race, gender, faith, class or political ideology. The question, for believers, is how do we navigate this terrain while being faithful to Jesus' call for us as disciples? Faithful practice means we must widen our circle of concern for those it is easiest to love and particularly for those with whom it's most difficult. Embracing the invitation from the Holy Spirit to be made anew means we embrace getting closer to those we see as enemies, seeing deeper into ourselves to recognize our shortcomings, and taking risks to join God in widening God's circle of concern for God's creation! This message is a call to surrender to God for the hard work of enemy-love. Join us to hear Ben McBride preach!
