1 July 2017 - Rev. John Howanstine exhorts us to continue walking out our position and identity in Christ as we present ourselves to him as living sacrifices, saying that, "He who receives you receives Me." John clarifies the point by explaining how diplomatic ambassadors give up their personal identity to identify as the nation they represent. So we are to represent Jesus Messiah, who represents the Father.

Readings: Romans 6:12-23, Psalm 89:1-4,15-18, Matthew 10:40-42
