Second Sunday After Pentecost

Written by Faith2014 on June 12, 2023.

Though Jesus was a devout Jew who practiced his faith, he was criticized for eating with folks on the margins like tax collectors. Jesus reminds us that mercy is to be at the heart of our religious practices. God continues to be made known in unexpected places and unexpected people. As we gather on Sundays, we are reminded that we are all in need of healing and through Christ we experience wholeness and forgiveness.

Accompanying Scripture:
Genesis 12:1-9 ; Psalm 33:1-12 ; Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26
