Intercession is not the most common word for us all to use, but means the idea of going between or on behalf of. One image of the Spirit in scripture is that the Spirit prays on our behalf, intercedes to God on our behalf.

Sunday August 6: “Hospitality Leading Into Outreach”, Luke 19:1-10
This Sunday we will look at how the “love of stranger” is not only a biblical principle but essential to our call to share the gospel.

Sunday June 4: Ephesians 5:1-20 “Transformed Lives”

Ephesians 4 comes back to the topic of Christian unity, and both a call and reminder that part of our call from Jesus is that others will know we follow him by the way we love one another. One way that love is expressed is working hard at staying united in Christ, and working through things that try to divide us.
