This Sunday in worship, Pastor Julie continues the series “Am I the One?” and preaches the message “How Conservatism Killed Jesus” from Matthew 23:1-4, 23-31. Accompanying scripture passages are Micah 6:1-8 and Ephesians 3:14-21.
Pastor Julie’s message focus’ on the Pharisees, who focused on secondary concerns, as conservatism tends to do. Conservatism can get so busy building a fence around the treasure that it often forgets what the treasure is. Jesus frees us for weightier matters of justice, mercy and love.
