June 25, 2023 FOCUS FOR TODAY’S SERVICE The Holy Ministry is given by God out of compassion for his people. Over the next three Sundays we hear Jesus’ Missionary Discourse (Matthew 10:5-42). Last Sunday we saw the unworthiness of the servants God calls by mercy. Today the emphasis is still on the Ministry of the Word, but the focus shifts from the servants to the people they serve. We see the compassion and love of God for this world, love so great that he called ministers of the Word to share his grace and mercy and foretell of the coming kingdom of heaven. FIRST LESSON: Numbers 27:15-23 SECOND LESSON: 2 Thessalonians 2:16—3:5 GOSPEL LESSON: Matthew 9:35—10:8 SERMON: Matthew 9:35—10:8 Jesus Heals the Harassed and Helpless Click here for today’s worship folder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I1xD...
