Welcome to Worship for this Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, September 6, 2020. We are happy you have joined us, we so appreciate your likes, comments and encouragement as we bring these services to you each week. It is our hope to continue to offer our services online each week once our building re-opens. (Tentatively scheduled for September 20th)
Our readings for today are:
Exodus 12:1-14; Psalm 149; Romans 13: 8-14; Matthew 18:15-20
The Old Testament story from Exodus contains Yahweh’s speech to Moses and Aaron that directs the preparation to be made in anticipation of the coming Passover. A festive note is struck in Psalm 149, which also praises Yahweh for executing judgment against Israel’s enemies – an appropriate theme that anticipates God’s deliverance of Israel from the Egyptians. In Paul’s letter to the ancient church in Rome, he teaches that the demands of Torah to love one another are also how we are to shape Christian moral life and expectations. In the Gospel story Jesus teaches how broken relationships in human affairs can be handled with God’s help.
Please feel free to share the link for this Worship Service, with anyone who may want to worship with us, or with anyone who may be seeking a spiritual home.
