Living Together on Uncommon Ground: Respect 2024 09 15

Helotes Hills United Methodist Church

Scripture references: 1 Corinthians 12:1-26 and Matthew 7:12

In studying scripture each week, we consider the ways that our spiritual ancestors dealt with their own time of division. Together, we find ways to tell deeply good news for all people in our day by filtering our interactions through the lens of respect.

Today’s scripture describes how dependent we are on one another, that we all have a part to play, and the reality is that humanity was created to help one another. What we put into the world is part of the ongoing creation of the world. Will we respect our dependence upon one another, especially the kind that we are to know as Christians connected as the Body of Christ?
