Today, Rev. Ron Bartlow concludes our series on “Half Truths” based on Rev. Adam Hamilton’s book Half-Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn’t Say. In this series, we’ll reflect on the nature of Scripture and then consider some of the “myths” that people attribute to the Bible. United Methodists “make sense” of the Bible in that “we take it seriously, if not literally.” The sermon today explores the saying “Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin”. Our scripture readings are Luke 18:9-14 and Matthew 7:1-15.

Today is also “Christ the King” or “Reign of Christ” Sunday, the last Sunday of the Christian year. Next Sunday is the “new year,” with the start of the Advent season.

Let us know you’re here!
