The Gift of Poetic Challenge
This Sunday at First Presbyterian Church As we continue through the Epiphany season and our sermon series Gifts That Keep on Giving, Rev. Diane Flynn will share a message titled “The Gift of Poetic Challenge.” Our Scripture reading from Matthew 5:1–12 brings us to the opening of the Sermon on the Mount — the Beatitudes — where Jesus paints a picture of God’s kingdom that turns the world’s expectations upside down. Blessing is found among the poor, the merciful, the peacemakers, and those who hunger for righteousness. These words both comfort and challenge us, calling us into lives shaped by justice, mercy, humility, and love. This Sunday’s worship invites us to hear Christ’s poetry not only as inspiration, but as a courageous way of living. Anthem: “Gentle Spirit Dwell with Me” — Senior Choir Worship begins at 10:30 AM, with Coffee Fellowship at 9:00 AM.
Scripture References: Matthew 5:1-12
