Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

Today Fr. Kevin Maney looks at the apparently contradictory messages contained in our OT, epistle, and gospel lessons. Which God are we talking about? The God who pronounces fearsome judgment on his people through his prophet or the God about whom Jesus and Paul speak? The key to understanding the heart and mind of God, of course, is to keep our eyes focused squarely on Jesus. Doing so will help us see the astonishing Good News of God's love for us contained in the parables of the lost sheep and coin and experienced first-hand by Paul. If you suffer from a broken heart or spirit, or wonder what is your purpose in life, this sermon is for you. Check it and and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Jeremiah 4:11–12, 22–28; Psalm 14; 1 Timothy 1.12-17; Luke 15.1-10.
