Pastor DeHope's October 15th Message

Dear Friends in Christ,

I’m happy to share that my dad is out visiting us for a week! He was greeted by quite the storm Tuesday night, but we’re looking forward to some sunshine and working on projects in the days ahead. We also rejoice with the Leach family that Mattea was baptized into Christ Friday 10/16. Praise the Lord as his kingdom grows!

In this week’s gospel Jesus tackles everyone’s favorite thing: taxes. The Pharisees are up to no good – they’re trying to trap Jesus… again. Despite their plotting, our Lord is not trapped nor entangled in words. He simply says: render to Caesar (the government) the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. They went away marveling at the answer, and so do we. It seems so simple, and yet in practice is harder than it looks – on both sides.

Join us this week as we learn what this means, and together we’ll render to God the things that are his. God won’t be tricked into anything, but he loves to be held to, trapped even, in his promises to us. Come receive God’s gifts to you, just as he promised. Hope to see you soon!

Blessings on your week!

Pastor DeHope
