Being Fruitful
Galatians 5:13-25 & Luke 9:51-62
This week, we will focus on two Scriptures: Paul’s message to the Galatians and Jesus’ encounter in Samaria. Let’s begin with Paul. According to him, we as Christians are called to freedom. How we use that freedom is crucial in our faith journey. Freedom doesn’t mean doing whatever we want. Instead, we are called to use our freedom to serve each other and to bear the fruit of the Spirit.
In the Gospel reading, as Jesus was heading to Jerusalem, he sought to stay in a Samaritan village. However, the people there did not welcome him and rejected him. When the disciples became upset and wanted to punish them, Jesus turned, rebuked them, and simply moved on to another village. Along the way, someone expressed a desire to follow Jesus. Jesus welcomed him, but the man quickly offered all excuses. Please, come and explore these scriptures with us this Sunday. All are welcome!
