Being united in Christ is utterly ordinary for people who follow Jesus. Division is not natural for us, even though it has always been our nemesis. Now is the church’s great public opportunity at this time of deep national divide we can show that what unites us as God’s people is greater than everything that divides the world around us. But how do we do that? In this week’s meditation, Ordinary Christianity in Extraordinary Times, Rev. Dr. Sheldon W. Sorge discusses this question and more. https://www.pghpresbytery.org//ordinary-christianity-in-e/

In Matthew 22:15-22, Jesus’ opponents try to corner him by asking if taxes should be paid to the Emperor. This question is something we still struggle with. Do our politics and faith intersect, or should they? Is it better for us to keep them separate, or should we become involved in politics because of our faith? In this week’s meditation, Honoring the Image, Rev. Dr. Sheldon W. Sorge explores these questions and more. https://www.pghpresbytery.org/2020/10/honoring-the-image/
