One thing have I desired of the Lord... that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life...Psalm 27:4

Simply the Sermon for May 5, 2024: “I Call You Friends"

On the night before his death, as Jesus teaches his disciples to "love one another, as I have loved you," he goes on to say: "I call you friends." Together, these two teachings suggest a foundation for Christian ethics not grounded in fear of punishment or following rules, but in the ways of gratitude and friendship.
