Worship – October 3 – God’s majesty and intention for community

Sep 29, 2021 | Sermons

God’s laws are intended for love

Today’s gospel combines a saying that makes many of us uncomfortable with a story we find comforting. Jesus’ saying on divorce is another of his rejections of human legislation in favor of the original intent of God’s law. Jesus’ rebuke of the disciples who are fending off the children should challenge us as well.

What does it mean to receive the kingdom of God as a child does?
