How To Be Human
Summer Worship at First Baptist on Fifth
One has only to scan the headlines to feel despair at all things human. The rise of AI, threats to our climate and our collective well-being, and widespread conflicts around the globe causes us to wonder: how can we stay human amidst all that hopes to divide, distract, or diminish humanity? This summer in worship, we’ll listen to Jesus’s guidance on human living through the Gospel of Matthew, trusting the God who enlivened us at creation to enliven us once again.
