A Countercultural Church
Jul 6, 2025 • The Rev. Ben Jones
Top Gun: Maverick, the song Flowers, and the show Survivor all celebrate the self-sufficient individual, but Galatians 6:1-5 assumes a church that carries one another. Rev. Jones points out that Paul's "you" is plural, urging gentle restoration, honest examination of motives, and a distinction between shared burdens and one's own load. A story from his years as a rector in Indiana, when he learned to greet people on Sunday mornings, grounds the call to serve.
