for the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
Fiery challenges test us in life. It takes faith and courage to make our way through difficult times. Cool water sooths us body and soul.
Abraham and Sarah answered God calls and followed his instructions even when God’s requests were unreasonable. They answered a call to leave their home behind to travel to a new land. After receiving the miraculous gift of their child Isaac, Abraham was told to go to a special mountain to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. Abraham went as he was told, built an altar, prepared wood for the fire and was ready to sacrifice his son. At the last minute, an angel stopped him from sacrificing Isaac and God provided a ram to offer instead of his son. The place where they went was named, “The Lord will provide.”
Matthew’s gospel talks about the way in which the disciples are welcomed as they go out to share the good news of Jesus. Those who welcome them are blessed. Anyone who gives even a cup of cold water to “one of these little ones” is blessed.
How courageous is our faith? When and where do we find and serve others a cool cup of water? Does the Lord provide? How do you know? Where have you seen divine love in action?
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday for 10:30 a.m. Worship
