Is That Your Final Answer?

Rev. Dr. Thomas Ahlersmeyer

Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Sermon Text: Matthew 16:15-16; Readings: Psalm 138; Romans 11:33–12:8; Matthew 16:13-20

The host of a popular television game show was known for asking contestants, “Is that your final answer?” Jesus asks us the same question, and the stakes are so much higher! The answer? Jesus is the Christ!

Thinking of You

O LORD, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him?

Psalm 144:3

“Thinking of you” are words I often type when emailing my two sisters. We started keeping in touch every day years ago, when life was upended by rules, restrictions, and grim news due to COVID-19. Since we live far apart, the daily contact was (and still is) a comforting way to share joys and prayer needs.
