Simply the Sermon for September 13, 2026: Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our readings for Sunday, September 13 are Genesis 50:15-21; Romans 14:1-12; and Matthew 18:21-35. In today’s second reading Paul questions why we judge one another, since we all stand before the judgment of God. Yet we sin against one another, and Jesus’ challenge that we forgive seventy-seven times (or 70 times 7 times or truly that we are not to count the number of times that we forgive, as God does not count the number of times that God forgives) reveals God’s boundless mercy. When we hear th

Simply the Sermon for August 30, 2026: Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our readings for Sunday, August 30th, the 14th Sunday after Pentecost are: Jeremiah 15:15-21; Romans 12:9-21; and Matthew 16:21-28. The prophet Jeremiah speaks of the incurable wound of his suffering yet finds in God’s words the delight of his heart. When Peter doesn’t grasp Jesus’ words about suffering, Jesus tells the disciples they will find their lives in losing them. Such sacrificial love is described by Paul when he urges us to associate with the lowly and not repay evil with evil. In wors

Read excerpt
Our texts for Sunday, August 23rd, the 13th after Pentecost are: Jeremiah 15:15-21; Romans 12:9-21; and Matthew 16:21-28. In Isaiah the people are advised to look to their spiritual ancestors as the rock from which they were hewn. Jesus declares that the church will be built on the rock of Peter’s bold confession of faith, even though Peter then sticks his foot in his mouth. God’s word of reconciliation and God’s mercy are keys to the church’s mission. Paul urges us to not be conformed to this w
Simply the Sermon for August 16, 2026: Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our readings for the 12th Sunday after Pentecost are: Isaiah 56:1, 6-8; Psalm 67; and Matthew 15:[10-20] 21-28 In Isaiah we hear that God’s house shall be a house of prayer for all people and that God will gather the outcasts of Israel. The Canaanite woman in today’s gospel is a Gentile, an outsider, who is persistent and unflinching in her plea that Jesus heal her daughter. As Jesus commends her bold faith, how might our church extend its mission to those on the margins of society? In our gathe
