Proper 7
Matthew 10.24-39Not for the fainthearted (AAA)
Jesus’ words are tough. There is nothing wishy-washy about being a Christian here. It’s a calling to total commitment, despite problems that will come.
Not for the fainthearted (CYP)
When working with children, it is easy for us to want to share with them the good things about being a Christian. Today’s reading paints a different picture. Being a Christian can be hard, it can make us face conflict and can be rather uncomfortable.
Additional resources (AAA)
Being special
Christians have a special identity – not through who they are themselves, or what they have done, but through what God has done and through sharing in Christ.
These resources were first published in 2005.
