Matthew 25:14-30
Again, this Sunday, we take our scripture from Matthew
25. Throughout this chapter, Jesus describes the “kingdom of heaven” in
metaphor and story. This Sunday, we hear the Parable of the Talents,
Matthew 25:14-30. The kingdom of God will be like this. . . . What
are the signs? How will we know? What shall we look for? How
does God speak into these questions for us today?
This Sunday is
Thanksgiving Sunday, Pledge Sunday, and Transgender Day of Remembrance. We will
also be collecting the General Church Thanksgiving Offering for our
Disciples-related colleges, universities, and seminaries. We will be
celebrating, acknowledging, and holding all of this together.
