16th Sunday after Pentecost

We know God shows no partiality and yet Jesus at first does not want to help this family because they are not Jewish. Even Jesus has grumpy days and needs to be able to listen with compassion. We too are given permission to be human, have grumpy days and in the end remember – compassion and empathy can win every time. (Please note, the first few minutes of Pastor CJ’s sermon were unfortunately not recorded due to technical issues.)

Accompanying Scripture:
Psalm 146, James 2:1-10, Mark 7:24-37
