The calling of the disciple Levi brought together the most hated, most
respected, most sinful, and most religious people in the nation all under one
roof for one meal and a lesson for us.
As we continue through the formative moments of the original church, we
look at the calling of a tax collector and in a message that touches on this
moment in our nation, in the church, and in our personal spiritual lives.
The message is called: HONEST
LOVE.
(Quick confession: Near the end of
the sermon I reference the work of Harriet Tubman but I call her Sojourner Truth. I do know better.)
Listen
well.
