This is the second sermon in my 2020 introduction sermon series, "Hello, My Name Is...". I use this series as a way to introduce myself to my new congregations, as well as help them to understand how I interpret Scripture and understand my faith. This series does not use the Revised Common Lectionary selections for any specific week or year. The Scripture choices for this message are: Matthew 7:24-27; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Psalm 31:1-16.
