“Including the Excluded”
November 22nd, 2009
Peter had to decide he had to include what had been excluded! God seems to be calling us to this kind of moment today. Who are the excluded in our culture today? Why is that so? Acts 10: 34-43

We are Eric Sinkula’s parents, and we are very proud of our son for his work with finding accepting churches for GLBT people. He has worked hard for several years and has found over a thousand churches for the directory he suports – this is not a paid position, rather a effort of love and compassion on the part of our wonderful son. God has truly blessed your church, and may God continue to bless you and the emebers and families in your congregation.
Carna and Frank…thanks for you comment. We will be discussing further this fall what it means for us to include the excluded. I am blessed with a great congregation of people. Bob Langston
I was so moved by this (and all of your) sermon(s) that I posted this one on my facebook links page so that I can do my part in getting the word out. If it just inspires/ changes one person then I feel there is hope for others too. Wish I could be there every Sunday!
Lots of Love

Hey my dear…thanks so much for your kind words! This was truly ‘of God.’
BTW…we prayed for you and Josh and Haylee today. Will be in touch. Tons of love…pastorbob
Bob,
I have listened to Sundays sermon a second time and am just as moved the second time around.
I am right with Sue and Steve and have forwarded the sermon on to friends of mine. I believe that professing the Christian faith means that we are inclusive — not exclusive.
Thank you,
Betty
Thank you,

Thank YOU Betty! Trusting God blesses this witness and yours. Love you…Bob
Bob,
I just want to praise you for having the courage to take this one on! I surely do thank you! I will forward this on to all of my children.
I hope Karen is feeling better soon.
I love you and Karen,
Sue
i agree with you Sue… Good job Bob. This has always been a difficult subject for me. I wrestled with it as I forwarded the Email. I have firends that have chosen a different path than I have and are wonderful, loving caring people. I would never hesitate in the least to call them my friends. Guess I need to get out of the old “rut” and try having a more open, Christian mind. Guess I have some soul searching. Kudo’s.
Steve…thanks for the kudos. Right back atcha. Bob
Thanks Sue. This sermon was truly a God moment for me. We’ll see where the Lord takes us. Blessings and love to you and Scott as well.
