Today, Rev. Ron Bartlow begins a three week series to contemplate what it means to be a church of “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors.” Culturally, we speak of the heart as the center of our emotional selves, the seat of our hopes and desires, the core of our love. As those committed to loving God and others, how we open our hearts becomes metaphor for how we respond to the world around us. Are we “hard hearted,” callous and indifferent to the struggles and needs of others? Or are we “tender hearted,” caring and impacted by the lives of those we meet? The sermon today is “Open Hearts,” with Scripture readings from Jeremiah 24:4-7, 29:11-13, and 31:31-33, 2 Corinthians 5:14-21, 6:1-2, and 11-13, and Matthew 15:1-11.
