In this week's Pentecost season sermon, Rev. Len Vander Zee looks at the sobering message of Jeremiah 6: 13-20 and its implications for modern believers. Reflecting on the parallels between the ancient Judah’s refusal to acknowledge their unfaithfulness and our current societal challenges, we're invited to consider the importance of recognizing true issues and not hiding behind false assurances of peace. Drawing from both Jeremiah and Jesus' teachings in Matthew 7: 15-27, Rev. Vander Zee challenges the church to embody the humility and self-sacrificing love of Christ rather than seeking power and control. This powerful message encourages us to look within and embrace the radical hospitality of grace.
