Preaching

September 2026

“Eternal God, as a loving Father, You have heaped on me innumerable blessings; and I have heaped up many sins.” Could not each of us begin our daily prayers with these words? When we pause to recognize the abundance of God’s blessings, we also become more aware that none of them are earned. Every grace we receive is a gift of His love and mercy. This month, we will reflect on the undeserved gifts God pours into our lives.

“The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge” (Psalm 19:1-2 NRSVUE). The beautiful, sweeping images of creation in the Psalms inspire awe, but also describe our own fragile creaturely condition, compared to them. God is majestic. We are not. The Psalms delight in holding up this majesty and authority, and ask us to reside in their powerful shade. “There is no speech... yet their voice goes out through all the earth” (19:3-4). God’s grandeur in creation is talking to us. Created in His image, He asks us to listen.
