Message from From Your Pastor
|
The content of today's readings bring to us give us a solid message we can use for a lifetime. In them we learn that God speaks to us about courage, trust and the boundless gifts of His grace.
|
The prophet Jeremiah, (Jeremiah 20:10-13) cries out from a place of deep trial: I hear the whisperings of many: Terror on every side! Denounce Him. Let us denounce Him. Yet, He proclaims with unshakeable faith. The Lord is with me, like a mighty champion. Even in betrayal and fear, Jeremiah's confidence rests in God's justice and protection.
|
The Psalmist in Psalm 69:8-10.17.33-35 echoes that trust: For your sake, I bear insult, and shame covers my face. In your great kindness, answer me with your constant help, o God. This is the prayer of every believer who suffers for righteousness—a reminder that God hears the cries of the poor and never abandon His Own.
|
In the Gospel, Jesus tells us in Matthew 10:26-33 Do not be afraid of them...even the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid you are worth more than many sparrows. He calls us to fearless witness, assuring us that whoever acknowledges Him before others will be acknowledged before the Father.
|
Last but not least, Romans 5:12-15 reminds us of the foundation of our hope: Through one man sin entered the World. But the gift is not like the transgression. The grace of God and the gracious gift of the one Man Jesus Christ overflow for the many. Our courage is not rooted in our own strength, but in the saving, grace poured through Christ.
|
Today the Word invites us to live boldly for the Gospel, to Trust God's providence in trials and to remember that His grace is greater than any fear. Let us, like Jeremiah and the Psalmist, stand firm knowing that in Christ we are never alone.
|
|
In a special way, I take a moment to wish you well on Father’s Day. This Weekend we do not just celebrate a date on the Calendar, we celebrate you, the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, and spiritual mentors who make up the backbone of Our Holy Name Church Family of the people God. Thank you for the quiet, unseen ways you serve. Thank you for the late nights, the hard work, the prayers whispered in secret, and the steady examples of faith you provide. In a World that constantly changes, your commitments to walking with integrity and leading with love is a powerful anchor for the next generation.
