Sunday Sermon, The Rev. Phillip A. Jackson "Call and Response: Brief and Instantaneous"

“Sudden, unbidden, the one called neither earned it or deserved it. Jesus said 'follow me' ... It's not an invitation; it's a command." The Rev. Phillip Jackson talked Sunday about God’s call to Abram, who later became Abraham, and Jesus’ call to Matthew the tax collector. Even today we all know that sometimes life changes in an instant. Father Phil talks about how it happened to him. How about us? The readings are Genesis 12:1–9; Psalm 33:1–12; Romans 4: 13–18; and Matthew 9: 9–13, 18–26.
