FowlerWatch the full worship service here: https://allentownpresbyterianchu.subspla.sh/cx4gn36🤔Sermon Reflection: Jesus calls us to a deeper journey, not merely to wade in the shallows. He invites all to trust Him and go deeper, assuring that accepting this invitation brings profound peace and happiness. This journey is not solitary; just as Jesus regularly worshiped in a group, attending church offers a family of believers for support.

Dr. Stephen Heinzel-NelsonWatch the full worship service here: https://allentownpresbyterianchu.subspla.sh/tgpq324🤔Sermon Reflection: We understand that there are many unique pathways that lead each person towards God. Often, a crucial moment or person, what we might call a divine appointment, interrupts our usual course and guides us closer to God.

Dr. Stephen Heinzel-NelsonWatch the full worship service here: https://allentownpresbyterianchu.subspla.sh/wd6yddf🤔Sermon Reflection: We explored the tension between scarcity and abundance, seeing how these narratives shape our outlook. The story of Jesus feeding the multitude highlights this, with the disciples' scarcity mindset contrasting sharply with Jesus' abundant provision. Scarcity can breed hoarding and distrust, while abundance calls us to share.

Lindsay Anderson-BeckWatch the full worship service here: https://allentownpresbyterianchu.subspla.sh/vtzxrzs🤔Sermon Reflection: It's fascinating how group dynamics often reveal those who lead, those who follow, and those who seem to drift. In Luke's account, Martha's diligent service contrasts sharply with Mary's attentive listening. Martha's frustration, though understandable, exposes deeper feelings of jealousy and anger. Yet, Jesus responds with compassion, recognizing her internal struggle.

He wasn't just upset about the money changers, but the entire system that excluded and exploited the marginalized. This wasn't about personal anger, but a righteous anger on behalf of others.
