Many Names, Many Gifts

Many Names, Many Gifts

Sermon Introduction –

Jesus asks his disciples ” Who do people say that I am?” Only Peter is bold enough to answer. What would your answer be if someone asked you who Jesus is?

Introduction to this week’s readings –

In Isaiah the people are advised to look to their spiritual ancestors as the rock from which they were hewn. Jesus declares that the church will be built on the rock of Peter’s bold confession of faith. God’s word of reconciliation and God’s mercy are keys to the church’s mission. Paul urges us to not be conformed to this world but to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, using our individual gifts to build up the body of Christ. From the table we go forth to offer our spiritual worship through word and deed.
