Be a Tool
Rev. William Mueller
Fourth Sunday after Pentecost - Sermon Text: Romans 6:12-23; Readings: Psalm 91:1-10; Romans 6:12-23; Matthew 10:5a, 21-33
We are, at the same time, sinners who deserve God’s wrath, yet forgiven by God & declared innocent because of Jesus Christ. Do we freely & willingly sin because we know we are forgiven? Do we struggle & beat ourselves up as we try to become better people? Or do we simply consider ourselves a tool?
Getting Through With God
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2 Corinthians 4:7
There have been many times in our lives that Liz and I have wondered how we will get through a difficult situation. For us, one such day was on July 23, 2025, when we had to bury our son, Joel. The pain was overwhelming, and we didn’t know if we would be able to get through the day. It was at that time we realized there was Someone by our side, namely, the Lord. He is the One who could give us strength. He is the only One with all-surpassing power. He is the One that can accomplish anything. By the power of the Spirit, we just needed to trust Him and believe that He would provide the strength for the day. If you have lost a loved one, try relying on the all-surpassing power of the Lord to get you through and see what happens.
