Sermon Introduction –
Have you ever felt lost? With all the stresses of the world, life can be a whirlwind. In those tough moments, God promises to seek you out and hold you close. You are never alone.
Introduction to this week’s readings –
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.
