Scripture: Matthew 5:1-12Jesus begins his sermon from a mountainside by proclaiming blessings on people who would be unexpected by the times they lived in. How can we join them today?
Scripture: Matthew 4:12-23The Rev. Charles Erb joins us, offering stories of how disciples have been called through the years. Often by the lakeside, often by church camps, always by Jesus.
