I don't know about your Bible, but my personal Bible, which I've used since 1993, also serves as something of its own filing cabinet. Inserted among its thin pages are notes I've made, bits of paper on which I have scribbled things I can no longer read, and verses and other such material that I've once been given that would have held meaning for me at the time and so I have slipped away. Well, as I was preparing the sermon for today, one of those slips of paper fell out, and so I picked it up. It said this: “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful”. It's from Hebrews 11:23 and, having just re-read the gospel and the epistle, in which there is much to despair, I found, as indeed the note promised, a reason to hope. The wider context to today's message is that it's also Refugee Sunday, in which we mark those who, often involuntarily, are weak and go to places in which they are not welcome. Overlaid onto that is the troubling rise of political parties around the world who reinforce an attitude that says “you're not welcome” to the weak and dispossessed.
We invited Matthew Soerens, VP of Policy & Advocacy for World Relief on this World Refugee Sunday. Matthew shares why and how churches can get involved in welcoming the stranger. This episode includes a Q&A session with Lead Pastor Boyd Hannold.
As we take stock of the global situation, in which more than 100 million people are forcibly displaced, Gordon asks us to consider two questions - Who is God? And where is God?
For this special summer episode, Keane talks to Liz Steggall-Lewis, Director of Beyond Borders, about World Refugee Week and God's heart for the refugee. We also hear about the work Beyond Borders is doing to serve the most vulnerable. "The character of God shines in these stories of displacement." "In Malachi it talks about the way that you treat foreigners, orphans, and widows is a sign of your righteousness." "The whole Biblical command is to care for those who are vulnerable and to welcome and love the foreigners among us."

Intro Today is Refugee Sunday and the 2nd week in our Summer Playlist sermon series in the Psalms.

Interview This last interview in season 1 is special. We speak with Laetitia Mizero Hellerud, an activist, learner, teacher, seeker, and social justice advocate. Laetitia is the author of Being at Home in the World: Cross-Cultural Leadership Lessons to Guide Your Journey. “As a four-time refugee, change and adaptation has become a way of life for Laetitia Mizero Hellerud. Having to adapt to this way of thinking since childhood, she learned to rely on her own decisions and, at the same time, accept the love and help of others to survive. In Being at Home in the World, Laetitia shares what she has learned about adaptation about finding your home in the midst of chaos and struggle. It starts with an open mind and an open heart.” Learn more about Laetitia at https://laetitiahellerud.com/, and find her book on Amazon here: http://a.co/hvbUFXW. Get ready for World Refugee Day!

For Refugee Sunday, we invited Karen Morrow to share her experience as a CBF missionary with us. Karen currently ministers to refugees living in Texas, and her heart for displaced people is clear. Her talk focuses on the biblical call to love one's neighbor and how that teaching should inform our interaction with "the other."
