THE SUNDAY, JULY 19, 2026
Preaching | Rev. Dr. Tim Moore
Sermon | "Listening Creates Inclusivity"
Scripture | Matthew 15:21-28
Guest Musicians | Mark and Maggie O'Connor
Worship Guide will be available the Thursday before.
Listening sounds simple. It rarely is.
In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus encounters a woman from another culture whose persistence challenges assumptions and expands understanding. What begins as a difficult conversation becomes an invitation to deeper grace.
This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Tim Moore explores how genuine inclusivity requires more than welcome. It requires listening, humility, and openness to voices that may change us.
Part 2 of our series, Being a Liberal, 21st Century Church, considers how listening creates inclusivity.
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.
