Today, Martha Rainbolt shares a homily examining the concept of being “chosen by God” – and how it can get in the way of reaching out to others when we feel “safe” as one of God’s elect. How are we “working out” our salvation rather than siting safely in it? And what does this mean regarding how we view other people who might be different than us? This sermon challenges the listeners to reflect on the nature of God’s grace, and the implications for our place in the world as God’s people.
