Who Is This Jesus?

Sermon from worship service on the fourth Sunday after Pentecost, Open and Affirming Sunday, June 25, 2023, at Little River UCC in Annandale, VA. The Rev. Dr. Shelli M. Poe preaches on “Who Is This Jesus?”

Pastor Shelli reflects on the political and socio-cultural wars over the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals and families in light of Jesus' claim to be the Anointed One who would usher in a time of peace. On this Open and Affirming Sunday, Pastor Shelli encourages us to stay open to the voice of God and to keep representing the Christ we know - who loves the excluded and sits among the outcast - to our neighbors.
