Worship (9:00 AM Traditional) “Our Turn”

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Party Crashers”

Text: Matthew 22:1-14 The parable of the wedding banquet delves in the question of who, exactly, is invited into the party that is God’s kingdom.  What does it mean if we don’t have the “right clothes” to wear to the party?  Are we party crashers if Jesus himself invites us and even provides the “right clothes” when he gives us his own righteousness?

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Resentment”

Text: Matthew 18:21-35 “Not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and waiting for the rat to die,” writes Anne Lamott.  We may think ourselves beyond generous to forgive someone seven times but Jesus challenges our thinking by saying, “not seven times but seventy-seven times.”  In other words, for those of us who follow Christ, forgiveness becomes not so much an act but a way of life.  How are we equipping ourselves to face this giant of resentment?
