The sermon title for Sunday was Solids, Stripes or Plaids as we both celebrated the annual "Scottish Sunday" tradition at Christ the King, and considered the appointed readings for the day:
1 Corinthians 1:10-18
Matthew 4:12-23
The readings tell us about the way in which the call to
ministry unfolds. In the gospel, we learn that Jesus’ call to the
disciples was so compelling, that they dropped everything and immediately left
their nets to follow. Then in First Corinthians, Paul reminds us that we
are to be united in mind and purpose as followers of the Lord.
What does the total devotion that the original disciples
displayed “look like” in today’s world?
What does one need to leave behind to follow?
What are some of the impediments to Christian community in
churches today, and how can the same mind and purpose be fostered?
