SERMON CLIP FOR SUNDAY, JULY 5TH
| | At Jesus' table, there are no VIP seats. No racial barriers. No gender barriers. No political barriers. Just equals. This is what the kingdom of God actually looks like. The invitation to Jesus' table has one requirement: come as equals. No thrones. No hierarchies. No barriers. Just children of the Most High God, gathered together. #Faith #Jesus #Church #Equality #Kingdom #Christian #Sermon #centralumcatl | | |
