Whose Church Is It, Anyway?

Rev. Dr. Thomas Ahlersmeyer

Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Sermon Text: Matthew 21:33-46; Readings: Psalm 80:7-19; Philippians 3:4b-14; Matthew 21:33-46

The church belongs to Jesus Christ, not us! He alone builds, sustains, and blesses His church through the saving gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation. Because we are His people by grace, we are freed and empowered to joyfully serve as Christ’s presence in the world.

Surely Goodness and Mercy

Margaret Rickers Hinchey

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23:6

When I was directing handbells, one of my favorite ringers was Shirley. As she walked into a rehearsal, I would say, “Shirley, goodness and mercy is here.” Not only did God’s goodness and mercy follow Shirley into our rehearsal, but they live in her heart forever. Recently, Shirley and her husband have faced a serious cancer diagnosis. Through it all, they have found God’s goodness shining through as He provided everything they needed through dark valleys. God’s love and compassion were evident as mercy flowed through both of them.
