This Sunday, May 7, 2023 "The Path With THE Priority"

Hate speech is a legitimate crime, even in our nation where "free speech" is a constitutional right.  The only issue with our culture's definition of "hate speech" is who decides what is "hate" and not.  Indeed, all laws are morality based, it's just according to whose morality rules you are using.

Jesus would most likely be accused of "hate speech" in our day according to some of the liberal boundaries.  Jesus even used "the" word.

"Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He turned and said to them, "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple." Luke 14: 25-26 (NASV)

Unlike our culture, we can trust Jesus who not only spoke the truth, He is the embodiment of truth.  However, He defines "hate" as correct.

We will carefully examine this shocking, eye-brow-raising comment of Jesus in the second sermon in this series "The Path" with the message "The Path with THE Priority."

We are excited to be baptizing this Sunday and experiencing the joy of the new life of Tyde Debter, Ali Price, and Cy Traylor.

Then Sunday afternoon, our annual church-wide picnic.
