ACK Kirimunge Parish Hosts Mothering Sunday and Confirmation Service with Sermon on “C.D.F.”

The ACK Kirimunge Parish held a vibrant Mothering Sunday and Confirmation Service, where congregants were spiritually enriched by a sermon titled “C.D.F” (Call, Decision, Feast), based on Luke 5:27–32. The focus was on the calling of Levi the tax collector, an example of Christ’s unexpected grace and inclusive love.

1. CALL

Preaching from verse 27, the preacher emphasized Jesus’ bold move in calling Levi, a tax collector despised by society for exploiting his people under Roman authority. Despite public resentment, Jesus saw potential in Levi — a powerful reminder that God’s calling does not follow human expectations.

2. DECISION

Levi responded by leaving everything behind to follow Jesus — a testament to the cost and urgency of discipleship. The congregation was urged to consider what holds them back from fully embracing Christ. “The price of decision is high, but necessary,” the preacher stated, referencing Jesus’ teachings about the weight of commitment (Luke 9:62).

3. FEAST

In celebration of his transformation, Levi hosted a feast for Jesus. The sermon drew a parallel between this and Holy Communion, the symbolic feast of eternal fellowship with Christ. Candidates confirmed during the service were invited to partake in this spiritual feast, marking their public declaration of faith.

Conclusion

The bishop concluded with a stirring call to resist evil and temptation, reminding believers that their duty is to respond when God calls and to live as those sent out in ministry.
