A32: The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, Year A (2017)

Rachel May

Rachel May, Pastor of Franktown United Methodist Church on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Virginia, takes on that difficult saying of Jesus, “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me” (Matthew 10:40-42), and especially the idea that those who welcome his disciples will be “rewarded.” What? Does Jesus have a rewards program? And is that what it takes to get people to do ministry?
