Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Seeds Grow

Technically, I'm supposed to be working on Sunday's sermon at the moment. Of course that requires the occasional check of my email... maybe a colleague has had a breakthrough... :)
I subscribe to a "lectionary comic" called Agnus Day, and each week I get an email with a funny take on something from the Gospel reading for the coming Sunday. The comic strips don't always help with the sermon prep, especially during those weeks when I'm planning to preach on another lesson (from 2 Cor this week). But still, I usually enjoy them. I hope you enjoy it this week, too.
