Community Church

By Johan Dodge

Reverend

We are continuing in Matthew’s Gospel with a look at Jesus’ teaching to the chief priests and temple leaders about how they are missing the opportunity to be on the way of righteousness. As a spoiler, I will add that the word we have translated as “righteousness” would be better translated as loving kindness. Rules and laws are an important way to govern a society but they will never actually change hearts or the intent behind our actions. The way of Jesus is the way of the heart — it is to do and be loving kindness to the world around us. To hear this teaching as well as some exceptional worship music, I invite you to tune into worship Sunday morning at 9:50 on Facebook live, @communitychurchleisureworld.

If you want to join us for virtual fellowship, call the church office or email leisurewccsue@yahoo.com. If you don’t have a computer or Facebook, you can call in to our phone system at (562) 431-2503 and listen to the weekly message beginning Sunday evening. We have also started offering Communion on the first Sunday of the month at 1 p.m. outside in front of the church.
