Being Reconciled - Sermon
from Harvard-Epworth Church Hosted by Harvard-Epworth Church
A Sermon by Rev. Barb Lemmel and Rev. Mitch Hay Epistle Colossians 1:15-20 Christ is the image of the unseen God, and the firstborn of all creation; for in Christ were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and invisible, Thrones, Dominions, Sovereignties, Powers— all things were created through Christ and for Christ. Before anything was created, Christ existed, and all things hold together in Christ. The church is the body; Christ is its head. Christ is the Beginning, the firstborn from the dead, and so Christ is first in every way. God wanted all perfection to be found in Christ, and all things to be reconciled to God through Christ— everything in heaven and everything on earth— when Christ made peace by dying on the cross. Gospel Lesson Luke 10:38-42 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”
