Fourth Sunday after Pentecost Pastor Jennifer Roberts, preaching
The theme of the Day
The mustard seed becomes a great shrub that shelters the birds, recalling ancient images of the tree of life. We’d expect a cedar or a sequoia, but Jesus finds the power of God better imaged in a tiny, no-account seed It’s not the way we expect divine activity to look. Yet the tree of life is here, in the cross around which we gather, the tree into which we are grafted through baptism, the true vine that nourishes us with its fruit in the cup we share. It may not appear all that impressive, but while nobody’s looking it grows with a power beyond our understanding
Attention Ministry Chairs & Teams: We need your ministry team at our Tailgate Rally Day on August 18th! This is the perfect way to have some fun, enjoy fellowship, but most importantly share the work that God does through your ministry! We’ll have games, wear our favorite team gear, and support ministry at Redeemer and beyond! Please email your ministry chair and begin this planning process or reach out to Pr. Jennifer with more information (jroberts@redeemer.org)!
