We are really closing in on the end here on our tour of the churches. This is the last stop before Lent begins.
This week finds us at Saint Stephen the Martyr (16701 S St. in Millard)
Our Group for the week: Left to Right; Bottom: Beth, Teri, Ron, and Vesper; Top: Frank, Tom, and Brianne
The Gospel: Matthew 7(21-27)
This week's gospel is one of those that can be a bit hard to hear. It starts out powerfully: "Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). It is a sober reminder that not just anyone who says they do works for the Lord is actually doing these things for the Lord. So, we should challenge ourselves to find our reasoning when we do works for the Lord. Are we building the house of the Lord up when we do our deeds in His name?
