Being Received

The disciples were called 'little ones,' a humbling reminder that none of us are the 'big ones' who have it all figured out. Pastor Clare challenges us to examine whether we're truly entering community deeply or merely consuming it from the surface, spiritual pub-crawling from one group to another whenever things get uncomfortable. This sermon confronts our tendency toward privacy and self-sufficiency, asking us to consider: What are we waiting for before we truly connect? Do we think we need more resources, more readiness, more perfection before we're worthy of deep relationship?
