Communion Sunday -- September 3, 2017

First Sunday back after nine weeks gone. The sermon was from 1 Corinthians 11: 24-27 or so and focused on the "big idea" of communion itself. Take, bless, break, give. This is also the Sunday where Eugene Peterson (of The Message) meets Ned Flanders (of The Simpsons). Little longer than I meant for it to be -- was shooting for more like ten to twelve minutes, but ... it takes a while to get the pace and feel back, right? At least that is the story and I am sticking to it!

The scripture is Luke 14: The Parable of the Great Banquet. This sermon briefly explores Jesus' answer to the question: Who gets to participate in Jesus' banquet that marks arrival of God's Kingdom? What does it mean for us to compel others to come to this party? What excuses do we often offer and can we, like the servant in this story, capture the host's hospitality, and process our own anger and rejection into grace? This was Mario's first sermon at Hilltop.
