Worship Series
The Path of the Disciple:  Searching for the Face of God

Sermon Title
Is It Fair?

Sermon Message

How do we deal fairly with our neighbors?  What ministries can we celebrate or launch as a sign that we are engaged in relationships of fairness?  Do we acknowledge our privilege over those who have less in terms of access, goods and services, and in terms of treatment by those in authority?  This need not be a source of shame, but rather an opportunity to use what we have to be fair, to be gracious and merciful like the God we follow, in our dealings with the wider community.  Where are those opportunities?  What stories can we tell that inspire us to do good in the world?  What testimonies can we share that open our eyes to the possibilities and realities of how the world works?

Let our worship be a reminder that we often see the face of God within us.  Worship can be a time of encouragement as we celebrate how we have moved closer to the kingdom in how we live with one another, how we praise and rejoice in one another, and how we challenge and then support one another.  When we are truly seeking the face of God, we go beyond fair and move into grace manifested in love in all our relationships.
