In this sermon, taken from Matthew 10:40-42, Pastor Scott explores the tail end of Jesus' instruction to the disciples as he invites them to join in his current ministry. An ongoing theme has emerged of the opposition that they will face, but we must also remember that some will be open to their message. Pastor Scott also explores the idea of receiving, closely tied to the word "welcome," and the connection that has for our lives of faith today.

This is the assigned text for Sunday June 28th, 2020, the 4th Sunday after Pentecost.
