THE SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 2026
Preaching | Rev. Dr. Tim Moore
Sermon | "A Privilege or a Responsibility?"
Scripture | Genesis 12:1-9
Worship Guide will be available the Thursday before.
What do we do with the blessings we’ve been given?
In Genesis, God blesses Abraham not simply for his own sake, but so that he might become a blessing to others. It raises an important question for all of us: Is God’s blessing a privilege… or a responsibility?
This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Tim Moore invites us to reflect on what it means to live as people shaped not just by blessing received, but by blessing shared.
Join us for worship at 10 a.m. in person or online.
Immediately following worship, continue the conversation at Sermon Talk Back, a beloved MPBC tradition where questions, insights, and real-world connections are welcomed in an open and thoughtful discussion.
