Receiving God’s Rebuke – Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost

When we compare today’s Gospel reading (Matthew 21:33–46) with the Epistle (Philippians 3:4b–11), we see two starkly different responses to Jesus. The religious leaders in Matthew rejected His rebuke with hardened hearts, while Paul’s life was dramatically transformed when he surrendered his self-reliance to Christ. Through His Word and the Holy Spirit, God lovingly rebukes us when we wander off track to call us back to repentance and faith. Today’s message explores how we can recognize God’s correction and open our hearts to His transforming grace.

Liturgist and Preacher: Pastor Jonathan Lange; Reader: David Moldenhauer and Pastor Jonathan Lange

Are Some Sins Worse Than Others? (Ep153)

Everyone agrees that some sins are worse than others, but the Bible also teaches that every human being is guilty before God. How can nice, seemingly innocent people be equally as sinful as violent, hardened criminals? Chuck and Aaron try to answer this question on this episode of Craving Answers, Craving God.
