Sunday’s Sermon, July 7, 2013

Sunday, July 7 – Judging Others/Judging Ourselves –Romans 14:1-19

What does it mean to judge someone?  Is it necessary? Is it loving?

Do we take stock in our own lives before we look at others or is it vice versa?

Let’s explore if the word judging should be in our vocabulary and if so, how do we live it?

At Pender UMC, Sunday July 7: 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 am.  The sermon archives will be available early next week.

 

 

 

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.”    (Romans 14:19)

Sunday, June 30th Sermon ~ The Debt of Love

genuine-love

 

There is only one debt for the follower of Christ.  It is the debt of love we owe.  Giving our love away isn’t a suggestion but a debt to be paid.  Let’s see how we are doing on the payment of love.

“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.  The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”  Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”  (Romans 13:8-10)

At Pender UMC, 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00am
