Put in Our Place. Worship: July 13, 2025

Today’s Old Testament Reading is full of what God demands that someone should or should not do; it sounds almost scary. But it is only His putting us in our place and telling us how He wants to work through us and share His love, already poured out on us: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18). But we try to limit the definition of “neighbor.” We don’t have to! Today we thank God for giving us, for Jesus’ sake, “the inheritance of the saints in light,” as Paul writes in the Epistle (Colossians 1:12). It is time to set aside our daily activities to let God put us in our place as His friends, followers, and family.
