Today’s Scripture
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
The Need for Self-Discipline
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

An Invitation: Understanding Culture and Diversity in Building the Church – The Beverly Hills Session invites all to a new discussion group (currently on Zoom), led by Pastor Tung and his long-time colleague and friend, Pastor Nate Goodson of Prayer Chapel Church of God in Christ. We will be studying the award-winning (by Oprah, among others), best-selling 2020 book, Caste, by Isabel Wilkerson.
Historically, welcoming diverse cultures has been one of the main accomplishments of Christianity. Gratitude and appreciation to the Session (and to Fred and Fred Sanger from St. Paul’s) and to Pastor Nate for joining in this important effort. (Many of you might remember Pastor Nate and his congregation from the old Lenten Luncheons at Calvary Church.) Information: Art Tung
