Ninth Sunday after Pentecost - Rev. Jon Robinson

Rev. Jon Robinson's sermon emphasizes the importance of social justice and the church's role in addressing the needs of the marginalized. Drawing from Matthew 25, he challenges the congregation to reflect on their actions towards those in need and to actively engage in advocacy for social change. The message calls for a collective effort to ensure that the church is a place of compassion and action, rather than complacency.

This week's text:
41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You who are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels, 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.”
