From the Pastor - September 20, 2027
Hello everyone. Have you ever been frustrated at a
situation that simply wasn't fair? If so, you will probably
relate to the two scripture lessons that is our focus this
Sunday. Matthew narrates one of Jesus’
controversial parables in which Jesus says that the
reign of God is like that of a landowner who pays
his workers the same wage no matter what time of
day they began to work. When God changes God’s
mind about punishing Nineveh for their evil ways,
Jonah is angry. Yet God is gracious and merciful,
abounding in steadfast love. In baptism we receive
the grace of God that is freely given to all. As
Martin Luther wrote, in the presence of God’s
mercy we are all beggars. Blessings to all!
