Despite our flawed human condition, God loves us and wants us back, releasing us from what keeps us away, through the free gift of God’s grace given to us through Jesus Christ.
In calling us to perfection, Christ is asking that we find completion in God’s love – to receive it, embrace it and share it with family, friends, enemies and the world – to make life the best that it can be.
We welcomed the Rev. Dr. Beth Hessel, Executive Director of the Presbyterian Historical Society, as the second guest preacher in a year-long series to celebrate the 300th Anniversary of the First Presbyterian Church of Metuchen.
The light we shine is the love of Christ – a blessing we received to be shared with the world through one unified, common mission through Christ, in Christ and with Christ.
Jesus is our shepherd, encouraging us to take care of ourselves, to rest, even as he exudes God’s healing power to all who are in need of his shepherding, comforting, and care.
We welcomed the Rev. Cheryl D. Galan, Transitional Leader, Presbytery of Elizabeth, as the first guest preacher in a year-long series to celebrate the 300th Anniversary of the First Presbyterian Church of Metuchen.
In recognizing Jesus as Christ, we can put an end to our searching for purpose and meaning and begin to share the Good News of our discovery of Christ with others, in revealing the love we have found by the actions we take.
