Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost
Last Sunday, Rev. Karen presented her sermon, “Faith, Citizenship, and Keeping Your Heart with God,” based on Matthew 22:15–22.
Life does not always treat us fairly. We encounter difficult people, unexpected challenges, and moments when our faith is put to the test. How do we respond without allowing frustration or resentment to take hold of our hearts?
Through Jesus’ words in Matthew’s Gospel, we will reflect on how to face adversity with wisdom, pursue justice without seeking revenge, and fulfill our responsibilities as citizens while remaining grounded in our faith. With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, we will also consider how prayer, thoughtful participation, and mutual respect can guide us through times of disagreement. Although we cannot control every challenge that comes our way, we can choose how we respond and seek God’s guidance in the process.
