Year C – 4th Sunday after Pentecost; Lectionary 14 – July 6, 2025 Pastor Megan Floyd Luke 10:1-11, 16-20 Galatians 6:1-16 Grace and peace to you from our Lord, Jesus Christ, who includes us in the mission of bringing forth the kingdom of God. Amen. *** Hospitality is a big deal. My mother took hospitality very seriously and impressed the importance of it upon me from an early age. I can remember going over to other people's homes and being instructed ahead of time to be polite, say please and thank you… and, no matter what, do not complain about what is served for dinner. You eat it… and you say thank you. If we wandered out of line, all it took was a look… you know… the look… I came to understand that both extending and receiving hospitality are how we honor each other. Even if we don't typically use that language for it, it remains an unspoken truth in our culture. Hospitality is still a big deal today, but in ancient times… hospitality was a matter of life and death. There weren't many places we would equate to a modern hotel or restaurant, so travelers had to rely on the hospitality of extended family… or even strangers for food, shelter, and protection. And those travelers who had no money or bag, no extra food, no clothing, or shoes… well, they were especially vulnerable… especially in need. And yet, this is exactly how Jesus sends out his messengers. Vulnerable and in need… Like lambs into the midst of wolves… go, he says,… and take nothing except the good news that the kingdom of God is near. Go into a place, and extend your peace… if it is received, you will know that the soil of their hearts is good soil, ready to receive the good news of Jesus… If you show up with nothing but your need and your hunger, and you are still welcomed… then they are ready to be transformed by the inbreaking of God's kingdom. …and if not… if you are rejected… then just move on. You've lost nothing, so shake off the dust and continue on your journey. God will deal with them later, but you, o messenger of Jesus… you keep going. Jesus sends them out like lambs among wolves… to go into a strange land and show up on a stranger's doorstep with nothing but their thirst and their hunger… with nothing but their need for care. Jesus is tilling the soil for the seed of his message… but it's also a test of hospitality. Will they be received, or will they be turned away? Will these strangers who show up in need be welcomed and offered food, or will they be detained in cages and subjected to threats and abuse? The lectionary skips some verses in today's passage… some pretty harsh verses… skipping them makes it more palatable, especially for the preacher. But I think we need to go there… Verse 12 says… “I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town.” The story of Sodom has become twisted around bias and prejudice, so let me remind you of the basics of that story… The story of Sodom is a story of angels who show up at night as strangers in a strange place, planning to spend the night in the town square. Lot meets them at the city gate, and urges them to stay in his home, under his protection. Later, the men of the town surround the house… with a plan for gang violence and the worst kinds of abuse. The inhospitality of Sodom when strangers come into town… layered with cruelty and violence… the utter dehumanization of these strangers… this… this is what brings forth God's wrath. And this… this is the potential danger the disciples might face, and the seriousness of their mission… but the message must go out. The kingdom of God is near! …and the world will never be the same. Jesus sends his disciples out, intentionally vulnerable… intentionally in need… intentionally relying on the hospitality of strangers… He sends them out to find the good soil… to find those who are ready to be transformed by Jesus. But for those who reject them… for those who cannot see past the disciples' need… their hunger… for those who see these strangers as a burden too great for their communities to bear… It will be more tolerable for Sodom than for them. Hospitality is a big deal, and no one takes it more seriously than God. But my friends… despair is not an option. We are to shake off the dust, and continue in the mission of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ… We are to continue in the mission of participating in the inbreaking of God's kingdom, for the kingdom of God IS NEAR! Despair is not an option, because the kingdom of God is near and it is beautiful and full of love… and because I know your hearts are indeed the kind of good soil that welcomes strangers… I know you are helping to bring that beautiful kingdom closer. This community is very clearly the kind of community that welcomes strangers… the poor, the hungry, the immigrant… you welcome them as siblings in Christ… and you honor them by extending hospitality… And in this way, you further Jesus' mission on earth, and share God's love here… as it is in heaven. But there's more to the mission… Jesus urges us to continue in this way… but he also urges us to tell our story of how sharing God's love through radical welcome and hospitality has transformed our lives. The disciples were sent as lambs among wolves… but then and now, we know not everyone is ready to receive God's word. They will reject it… and that rejection may come with threats or even violence. The message of Jesus has the power to change the world… the power to turn everything upside down… and well… most people don't typically like change… especially those in power. We can reasonably expect a swell of resistance against Jesus's message, particularly because following in the way of Christ disrupts power and privilege. But we must keep going… keep sharing the good news… keep following in the way of Christ. Paul writes in the letter to the Galatians, verse 2, we are to “bear one another's burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.” …and verse 10, “whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all…” not of some… but of all. I rejoice… that this community knows that bearing one another's burdens doesn't mean we reject the stranger, and only bear the burdens of those who look and think like us… And I rejoice… that this community knows that working for the good of all people does not mean working for the good of only the wealthy and powerful, but in fact, means emphasizing those whose needs are greater so that in the end, all will be cared for. Our country seems to be pushing back against this way of Christ… it has become unpopular to care for the poor, the sick, the stranger, and the immigrant… and so, those of us who cling to Jesus' mission must hold fast. Despair is not an option… instead, I invite you to rejoice with me in the good news of Jesus, and let your joy in Christ be an act of defiance against the cruelty of this world. Rejoice that we are invited into the mission of following the will of Christ and bringing close the kingdom of God, here on earth as it is in heaven. Rejoice in the love for our neighbor that is shared when we extend and receive hospitality with strangers. Rejoice in the furthering of Jesus' message when we either hear or tell stories of transformation through Christ. Rejoice when we care for the poor, the sick, the hungry, the prisoner, or anyone in need… and rejoice if we find we were the ones in need and received that same care and provision from others. My friends, the kingdom of God is near… because Jesus Christ is near. And Jesus is both calling us in… and sending us forth… to tell the good news of what God has done for us… to tell our story of how God's love has transformed our lives. We are called to extend love, care, and hospitality to strangers, and to participate in the bringing close of God's kingdom. It might be a bumpy road, but do not despair, for the kingdom of God is near, and in that we can rejoice. Amen.

Alan shares today from Hebrews 10 as we look ahead to our Heart for the House Offering next week. This offering isn't primarily about where we are going or even what we are giving towards. It's about who we are becoming — a house of prayer, a people of worship. Let's remember who we are. Let's declare what really matters. Let's stir one another up with radical generosity. Let's give with clarity. Let's sow now into the story He is writing. His House. His Presence. His Glory.

Katy Warren preaches on connection. We belong to each other, for better or for worse. There's more to faith than our personal perspective, there's a great community surrounding each of us. It's easier to judge, to hate, to persecute someone from a distance but it's much harder to do those things when you look someone in the eye and recognize their humanity. Be the people who are unafraid to move close.  Preaching text: Acts 9:1-20

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the journey from emotional unavailability to genuine connection for moms of adult children. Through relatable metaphors and practical guidance, we address the pain of feeling disconnected from grown children and the fear of vulnerability that often holds us back. The episode outlines the signs of emotional unavailability, from avoiding deep conversations to perfectionism, while offering hopeful strategies for transformation. Key focuses include developing self-awareness, practicing healthy emotional expression, and setting loving boundaries. The message emphasizes that becoming emotionally available isn't about guaranteeing outcomes but creating possibilities for deeper relationships with our adult children and ourselves.Grab Your Free Course, Thriving in a Divided Family: https://www.midlifediscoveries.com/ThrivingVisit the website at: https://www.midlifediscoveries.com/

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delves deep into The Weeknd's latest and potentially final album under his iconic stage name, 'Hurry Up Tomorrow.' Released on January 31, 2025, through XO and Republic Records, the album was initially planned for an earlier release but postponed due to the LA wildfires, with The Weeknd contributing $1 million to aid relief efforts. This album concludes a trilogy that began with 'After Hours' in 2020 and continued with 'Dawn FM' in 2022. 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' features collaborations with artists like Justice, Anitta, Florence + The Machine, Travis Scott, Future, Playboi Carti, Lana Del Rey, and Giorgio Moroder on tracks that explore new musical territories. Notably, the much-anticipated "Dancing in the Flames" did not make it to the final cut.The Weeknd has described this project as his farewell to the persona he's mastered, signaling a shift towards new creative ventures. Alongside the album, a psychological thriller film of the same name, starring The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan, is set for release on May 16. The segment also covers promotional events including a NYC Pop-Up Experience with Spotify and a Hot Topic Takeover in Las Vegas with exclusive merch. Additionally, proceeds from the track "Take Me Back to LA" are being donated to the LA Regional Food Bank. Analytic Dreamz explores whether 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' truly marks the end of The Weeknd or just a transformation into something new, reflecting on his legacy of blending music, film, and immersive storytelling.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week we have a delightful doubleheader. First up we have Ryan Payton, director of Batman: Arkham Shadow. I've been following Ryan's career since he founded his studio Camouflaj back in 2011 back when I was doing stories about the rise of crowdfunding and here we are on the cusp of 2025 talking about the greatest game to be released on the Meta Quest platform so far.In this conversation we get deep into the storytelling that drives the action of Batman: Arkham Shadow, which is some of the best I've encountered in any video game in years. With that in mind, we avoid spoilers for almost half the conversation. Spoilers start at 19:23 of the pod and end at 37:20. We get into some of the big character beats. So consider yourself forewarned.Then we settle in for a long chat about the state of XR with friend of the show Alex Coulombe — chatting it up about everything from the Unreal Engine classes he's teaching to folks who are working with the Apple Vision Pro to the recreation of the Halcyon — aka the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — an open source project in Unreal that he's been helping to lead pretty much since he got back from visiting the ship.SHOW NOTESBatman: Arkham ShadowCamouflajRépubliqueGet Cast In A Dream Role In ‘Batman: Arkham Shadow' (The NoPro Review)A Christmas Carol VRGitHub - AgileLens/HalcyonVRAlex Coulombe (@ibrews.bsky.social) — BlueskyAlex Coulombe Presents Unreal Engine TrainingThe (Unofficial) Unreal Engine Podcast - YouTubeThe Weeknd's ‘Open Hearts' Drops On Apple Vision ProThe Next Stage Immersive Summit Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The heart has its reasons which reason does not know. We feel it in a thousand things. It is the heart which experiences God, and not the reason. This, then, is faith; God felt by the heart, not by reason. —Blaise Paschal Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God. —Matthew 5:8Blessing For A Soft HeartBlessed are you who see it all now—the beautiful, terrible truth that our world, our lives, seem irreparably broken. And you can't unsee it. The unruly problems, the person who wonders if any of this is worth it, all the loneliness and despair and fear.Blessed are you who glimpse reality and don't turn away. This kind of seeing comes at a steep cost. And it is a cost that you may not have paid intentionally. But here you are, seeing things clearly.Blessed are you who have worked hard to keep your heart soft. You who live with courage, fixing what is in your reach, praying about what is not, and loving still—despite difference, despite despair, despite all the reasons to shut it down.May you experience deeper capacity and glimpses of hope as you continue to see the world as it is: terrible, beautiful, fragile, enduring, and most of all good. —Kate Bowler

IHP content is for people who are interested in topics, stories, & guidance for personal development, self-help, spirituality journey, the 5D mystic path, & enlightenment the human way. It's for those who choose the human love narrative, not the human suffering narrative. Don't tune in if you don't love life and humanity because this won't be for you. Don't tune in if you still believe in evil or the devil. Topic not ideal for ego-sensitive or emotionally sensitive (on any/all life - including socio-pol-eco - topics) people. Please do not tune in. Thank you! All IHP content resonates with people who want to achieve enlightenment the human way. IHP podcast host Maria Florio shares voices, stories and perspectives from her 5D mystic enlightenment functional adult life to give examples of what it's like to know emotional self-regulation skills, experience secure attachment, have functional adult conversations and experience 5D relationships (5D and beyond vibing people). You hear about how easy it is to be yourself, to pursue inner growth, to unconditionally love, to have compassion, and live your best life with outer and inner-well being in the forefront. Also explored, how to communicate and handle emotionally insecure adaptive children grown ups, the 3D or 4D vibing individuals, those who stay within insecure emotional human suffering vibration experience and mindset, or who hold drama as the go-to in relationships, or use projection due to unresolved and unaddressed trauma, attachment wounds, and inner child wounds that come up in their behavior. Since trauma is relational and intimacy necessary to heal it, through Maria's stories and perspectives people get an idea of securely attached options on how to handle projection to the best of your ability and create a safe environment for another person to heal or for you to set a healthy boundary if the person bringing the projection (3D/4D drama vibe) is not seeking to move beyond their safety behavior/unresolved trauma emotional response. All of what we do in our day-to-day relationships, conversations, and interactions can bring the potential for healing and expansion of consciousness. The content is for people who are or want to be self-aware, accountable & want to establish functional adult secure attachment emotionally mature behaviors & relationships in life. Your humanity is living a life of meaning & connection beyond the solo-self, as is the true spirituality life.

Dr. Wess Stafford, Former president and CEO of Compassion International and an advocate for children shares his testimony and why he is an advocate for children in poverty.   As the son of missionaries to the Ivory Coast, Wess grew up as one of the village children cared for by a wise and loving African “extended family.” But his young heart was often broken as he watched his African friends die from the cruel ravages of poverty. Wess felt privileged to continue his parents' commitment to the poor through the ministry of Compassion International. Wess joined the staff of Compassion International in 1977 and worked with the ministry, both overseas and at headquarters. He served as President for 20 years. Wess is a veteran, having served four years in the U.S. Army as a linguist in military intelligence.
