A Part to Play

In this warm and thoughtful sermon, Pastor Mark draws on the story of David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16 and a car ride with the family dog to explore how God invites us to trust even when we’re unsure. Full of humor, insight, and grace, this message reminds us that God sees the heart and that each of us has a part to play in the story of love and justice.

This week’s sermon is now available on RolandParkChurch.org/sermons.Pastor Mark reflects on Genesis 18, the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the harm caused when Scripture is used to shame or exclude. He invites us instead to read with love, hospitality, and courage—asking how God’s mercy and justice shape our life together.There's also a discussion guide that invites you to reflect on hospitality, justice, mercy, and what it means that our lives are bound together. It is a resource for small groups, families, personal reflection, or anyone wondering how Scripture can speak with compassion today.Wherever you are in your personal faith journey, there's a place for you at RPPC.#Genesis18 #LoveGodLoveNeighbor #InclusiveFaith #LGBTQIAWelcome #rolandparkpresbyterianchurch #AllAreWelcome ...
