I will bless those who bless you, those who curse you I will curse; all the families of the earth will be blessed because of you.” Abram left just as the Lord told him, and Lot went with him.

OT Lesson: Judges 10:3-5 (Wycliffe Bible) His successor was Jair, a man of Gilead, that deemed Israel two and twenty years; and he had thirty sons, sitting upon thirty colts of she-asses, and they were princes of thirty cities, the which be called by their father’s name, Havothjair, that is, the cities of Jair, unto this present day, in the land of Gilead. And (then) Jair died, and was buried in a place that is called Camon. NT Lesson: John 14:27 (NRSV) Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.  Sermon Introduction Good morning. Last Sunday, I went to Lafayette for the installation of a pastor at Purdue Korean Presbyterian Church. The pastor has been serving the church for a few months. Before the installation service, I met the wife of the new pastor. She knew that all the non-Asians, i.e., White and Black people, were the clergy members from the Presbytery. But I am
