This past Sunday was the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost. The Collect for the Sunday, according to John Wesley's version of the Book of Common Prayer (aka, The Sunday Service of the Methodists in North America) is as follows:
Almighty and everlasting God, give unto us the increase of faith, hope, and love; and that we may obtain that which thou dost promise, make us to love that which thou dost command, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.That's a good prayer to pray!
During worship, I preached from the Gospel lesson for the day, Matthew 18:21-35. The title of the sermon was, "Better Than Optima Tax Relief." - A special acknowledgement goes out to one of our General Superintendents, Bishop David Graves, for an adaptation of one of the illustrations that he gave out our recent District Pastors' Life Long Learning Retreat. - An audio recording of the sermon can be found on the Heartland website at this location.
I would also like to take this opportunity to point out Heartland's YouTube channel, where we have posted a number of videos of my preaching, along with other guest preachers. Check back at the YouTube channel for periodic updates.
