Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost

All are Welcome!

Sermon Questions


1. Focus
What are the “quarrels and distractions” in my life right now that keep me from focusing on Jesus, and how might I realign my attention toward Christ?

2. Unbound
Where have I placed chains—on myself, on others, or even on God’s work—and how might I live more freely in the unbound grace of Christ?

3. Remembering
Like the Samaritan who returned with gratitude, what specific act of God’s mercy in my life do I need to remember this week, and how can I express gratitude in response?
