Sermon Introduction –
Our gospel reading for this Sunday is a tough one: Jesus says there is nothing more important than God. What are you putting first in your life?

Introduction to this week’s readings –
The word of God is a refining fire. Jesus is the great divide in human history. He invites our undivided attention and devotion. Today in worship we are surrounded by a great “cloud of witnesses.” In the word and in holy communion we are invited yet again to look to Jesus, “the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.”
