    Give Them a Cup of Cold Water (Romans 6:12-23 and Matthew 10:40-42 ) | June 28, 2026

    In a world that craves comfort, Jesus calls his disciples to something harder and more meaningful. Though the disciples repeatedly failed and chose comfort over faithfulness, grace had the final word. We are made worthy not by our own effort, but by Christ. And it is in that spirit that we are sent out, not to offer easy answers, but to bring the consolation of a God who is present with us in both joy and sorrow. #sermons #ordinarytime #firstchristianchurch Dennis Sanders, preaching | June 21, 2026 | Fourth Sunday After Pentecost Watch the worship Service: Learn more about First Christian: ⁠⁠https://fccsaintpaul.org Support the ministry of First Christian: https://fccsaintpaul.org/give First Christian Church of St. Paul is a small, open and affirming, and multicultural church located in St. Paul.

    Moved In the Gut (Romans 5:1-8 and Matthew 9:35-10:8 ) | June 14, 2026

    When Jesus sees the crowds oppressed and thrown down, he feels their suffering in his own body and responds not by doing all the work himself, but by commissioning unlikely, imperfect disciples—then and now—to participate in his ministry of restoration, proclaiming through their words and lives that the kingdom of heaven has come near. #sermons #ordinarytime #firstchristianchurch Teresa Kim Pecinovsky, preaching | June 14, 2026 | Third Sunday After Pentecost Watch the worship Service: Learn more about First Christian: ⁠⁠https://fccsaintpaul.org Support the ministry of First Christian: https://fccsaintpaul.org/give First Christian Church of St. Paul is a small, open and affirming, and multicultural church located in St. Paul.
