As we celebrate Reformation Sunday we remember the gift of God’s salvation by grace that stands at the heart of our faith. But we also ponder the challenge of Jesus’s charge in our gospel to continue in this saving word. Easier said than done! Maybe that’s why Reformation Sunday never gets old. We need that word to keep breaking into our lives so we can be set free to keep following our Lord.

As Pastor Eric is away chairing a synod council meeting our service will be lay-lead with a sermon from Pastor Sean Bell of Resurrection Lutheran Church in Saskatoon, read by Peter Schuler. There will be no communion served.

Giving thanks is something we Christians are pretty good at. But experiencing the kind of deep gratitude that can change our life is another matter. In Jesus’ interaction with a Samaritan leper in our gospel today we get a lesson in deep gratitude. Maybe it’s just what we see, or how closely we look.

Saint Francis of Assisi is one of the most famous saints of the church. The patron saint of animals and ecology to our Roman Catholic siblings. We often associate him with peace, compassion, and care. But his life also presents us with a challenge. The same challenge we run into in Jesus’s parable this morning. Yet, it may just be the challenge we need to point us beyond our celebration of the Season of Creation today.

Seeing and doing. Two things that go together like peanut butter and jelly. So why do we treat them sometimes like oil and water? Jesus tells the story today of two sons who struggled with these two basic behaviours as well. It’s what integrity is all about. Doing what you say, and saying what you will do. Thank God Paul gives us the key today to any hope we have of living it out.

Justice and grace. Two commitments Christians hold deeply. So what do we do when they seem to conflict with each other? That’s the question that emerges from the parable Jesus tells this morning. But as is often the case with parables the divine (not just the devil) is in the details. So we’ll pay a little closer attention to the details of this one.

This Sunday our worship will be part of an experiment as we explore the texts appointed for a potential new festival in the church year called the Feast of Creation in Christ. It’s a Sunday that celebrates God’s gift of creation. But also highlights for us the challenging realities of life in our broken world. And finally blesses us with a truth that may not be so obvious to us: that God isn’t done creating yet!

Today we launch into the Season of Creation. But it’s also the Sunday of Labour Day weekend where we hear from a member of our congregation about their reflections on their work and their faith. Lots to talk about! As Christians we all share the same basic vocation, to love our neighbour as ourselves. So maybe that’s our common denominator today. How is all the work we are called to do a labour of love?

We’ve just enjoyed a week of VBS here at Good Shepherd. Lots of fun, energy, learning, and worship was enjoyed by all. And in the end we sent home a group of happy rebels. Rebels with a cause. The same rebels Paul describes and Jesus calls us to be in our gospel this morning.

“Who do you say that I am?” It’s perhaps the most famous question Jesus asks in the whole Bible. It’s also one that we never stop mulling over. Not because it’s so confusing. But because there’s so many different answers floating around us. Maybe that’s why Paul urges us to be transformed in our minds today. Although that’s easier said than done. So maybe Isaiah, finally, can come to our rescue.
