Are You an Obstacle - Oct 5 - Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
Description
In Luke 17:1–10, Jesus gives a serious warning about the dangers of being an obstacle to another’s faith. Threats to faith are always present in our world, but Jesus teaches that one of the most dangerous obstacles comes from an unforgiving heart. When we refuse to forgive those who have sinned against us, we not only harden our own hearts but also endanger the faith of others.
This week, Pastor George Gude's sermon calls us to take Christ’s warning seriously, to recognize the ways we may be stumbling blocks, and to embrace the forgiveness that we have received in Him. As forgiven children of God, we are called to forgive freely, building up the faith of others instead of tearing it down.
Liturgist and Preacher: Pastor George Gude; Reader: William Ellington
