We’re Number 1!: Jesus Never Said That

We continue our sermon series “Jesus Never Said That!” and Pastor Teresa’s sermon is entitled “We’re number 1!: Jesus Never Said That.” At a time when Christian Nationalism is on the rise, we’ll take a look at the teachings of Jesus and the compassion of children who remind us of the call to humble service.

God, bless this school year, this new season,
this chance to discover the world anew.
We sense the anticipation of something about to happen,
of all our preparation and worry and excitement
for new friendships and challenges and opportunities.

– Blessing by Kate Bowler 

A just society is that society in which ascending sense of reverence and descending sense of contempt is dissolved into the creation of a compassionate society.

– B.R. Ambedkar, “Annihilation of Caste”
