Podcast – Called Community part 4: Dinner for Schmucks
This is the fourth in the Called Community sermon series. This week’s scripture is from Luke 14:1,7-14. It is a teaching of Jesus that centers around people striving for honor at a meal Jesus was attending. The key verse is 11, where Jesus tells us that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. We are called to be a humble community that is socialized in a different way than the world. For us as a church it affects us in a few areas: our unity, the company we keep, and our hospitality in worship.

This week’s message comes from Colossians 1:15-29 and it comes from a very Christocentric portion of scripture. In it, Christ is described as creator, sustainer, and redeemer. The message focuses on Christ and the story of salvation – creation, fall, redemption, and new creation. The image in this post is the one I had in worship to provide a visual to the message. I cite a quote from one of my seminary professors, Dr. Stone. If you want to read his whole blog post (it’s a good one)
