The service of the Word and Prayer for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (September 13, 2020). The theme of forgiveness continues this week as we ponder how we react when someone sins against us. We easily seek forgiveness for the “little” sins we commit, but it’s much harder to forgive the “big” sin someone has done to me. Thanks be to God we have a bigger Savior who forgives and heals our wounded hearts that we can also forgive from the heart.

The service of the Word and Prayer for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (September 6, 2020). Forgiveness is not an easy thing but empowered by Christ it is a possible thing to do. The energy which makes forgiveness possible for a human being flows from the cross, not from any innate ability we may have. Many thanks to Rev. John Fuchs for providing the message today!

The service of the Word for August 30, 2020, the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost in the liturgical life of the Church. The theme for the day is “Christ be my Leader” from the Gospel reading of Matthew 16:21-28. The Christian life is one of taking up the cross of Christ and following Jesus. And when our footsteps wander off our Lord’s path, which is often, Jesus brings us back with His call to repent and receive His love and forgiveness.

The service of the Word and prayers for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (August 16, 2020). Ever cried out to the Lord and it seemed like He wasn’t listening or didn’t care? It’s hard to wait and pray “Thy will be done.” But then the Lord answers our prayer. Sometimes it’s just a crumb, but it’s all we need!

The service of the Word and prayers for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost (August 9, 2020). God’s Word teaches us to stay in the boat of the Church rather than be a rock on the water.
