Readings: Exodus 32:7-14 / Psalm 51:1-10 / 1 Timothy 1:12-17 / Luke 15:1-10
Introduction: The grumbling of the religious leaders in today’s gospel is actually our holy hope: This Jesus welcomes sinners and eats with them. That our God seeks and saves the lost is not only a holy hope, it is our only hope. As the writer of 1 Timothy reminds us, “The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” Thanks be to God.
Sermon: Pastor Kathryn Gulbranson
