Jesus tells a story that doesn’t make sense: a shepherd leaves ninety-nine sheep in the wilderness to search for one that’s lost. When the logic of the world leads to more violence, followers of Jesus are invited to be illogical, to confront a background theology shapes our politics, our divisions, and our assumptions about who belongs.

Paul’s letter to Philemon challenges us to welcome the outsider as family. Jesus calls us to re-evaluate our values and embrace those who don’t fit our mold. True Christian welcome is costly, uncomfortable, and transformative. It means making space for everyone—especially the ones who challenge our comfort zones. 💬✝️ #RadicalWelcome #FaithInAction #Philemon #CostOfDiscipleship

On this twelfth Sunday after Pentecost our new Director of Youth & Outreach, Angel Nalubega, offers a powerful reflection on what it means to live out our faith in a world full of suffering and uncertainty. This sermon speaks to the heart of Christian community—mutual love, hospitality, and solidarity with those who are hurting and to remind us that our security is found not in wealth or power, but in the unwavering presence of God, who promises to never leave us. Join us as we discover why living a life of Love is the ultimate act of worship in a world that desperately needs it.
