Laich of Moray Parish Church (formerly Lossiemouth Church of Scotland)

Sunday 03 July 2022 is the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost.

The basis of this week’s sermon from Rev. Geoff McKee is from the New Testament – the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Church in Galatia: Galatians 6:1-16.

Paul had witnessed a dominant group of Christians imposing “their way or no way” on the others. Paul used his letter to challenge the circumcision party in the church to
think again: to stop thinking about themselves and to consider the others.

We need to be asking God to give us the courage to be true disciples. We know the “world outside” can be challenging – and yet others watch us as we try to witness to God through our words and actions. We need the wisdom to better reflect God’s actions of love and mercy, so that our families, our communities, and our countries might understand what God’s kingdom is all about. Part of that is making sure they know that “all are welcome”.

Sunday 26 June 2022 is the third Sunday after Pentecost.

The answer to the question implied by our headline today has a lot to do with Love – and a choice.
