Welcome to Worship for this Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, October 18th, 2020.
We are happy you have joined us, whether you were here in person or continue to join us virtually, YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!
Our readings for today are: Isaiah 45:1-7; Psalm 96: 1-9; 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10; Matthew 22:15-22
The portion of Isaiah we hear consists of Yahweh’s address to Cyrus, “his anointed.” Reaffirming Israel’s elect status, Yahweh proclaims his uniqueness and creative power. Psalm 96 is an enthronement psalm. It ascribes unique status to Yahweh and it calls upon the ancient peoples to acknowledge in worship, Yahweh’s universal dominion. In First Thessalonians we hear the introduction of Paul’s letter, which consists primarily of the opening prayer of thanksgiving. In the Gospel story we hear Jesus’ conversation with the Pharisees and Herodians, where Jesus responds to their question concerning paying taxes to Caeser.
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.
