Readings: 1 Kings 3:5-12 / Psalm 119:129-136 / Romans 8:26-39 / Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52
Introduction: As Solomon prays for wisdom, we seek to more deeply know the treasures of faith. In today’s gospel Jesus offers everyday images that reveal to us the reign of God: a tree that becomes a sheltering home, yeast that penetrates and expands, a treasured pearl, a net that gains a great catch. Even as we seek the riches of God’s reign, the great surprise is that God’s grace finds us first!
Sermon: Pastor Kathryn Gulbranson
