Pastor Gail Whitcome Linstrom – “Practicing Discipleship on the Way?” – Verdugo Community Church February 11, 2024

In her sermon, “Practicing Discipleship on the Way,” Pastor Gail addresses what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. She traces from Isaiah 58 the requirement that God wants his followers to recognize and help the poor, the homeless, the sick, those imprisoned and those oppressed. She then points out that Jesus modeled that behavior when he reached out to heal Bartimaeus, an ostracized blind beggar, in Mark 10. Jesus reminded his followers in Matthew 25 that when we help these people, we are helping Jesus himself. She challenges us to be aware of those in need around us and see them as valuable children of God.
