Third Sunday after Pentecost
Compassionate Kingdom of Heaven
Mental Health Awareness Series

Worship Service
9 AM PDT
Holy Communion Sunday

READINGS
Romans 5:6–15
Matthew 9:35–10:8 


We continue our series and Bible Study reminding ourselves that God cares for the whole person. That we have a Biblical foundation for who we are as a whole person.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.”

We hear Jesus’ announcement that the kingdom of heaven is near. The phrase “kingdom of heaven,” which we find frequently in Matthew’s Gospel, does not refer to a place called “heaven,” where God’s people will go after death.  It refers to the rule of heaven, that is, of God, being brought to bear in this present world. 

The Old Testament makes it clear that God intended to bring justice, peace, healing, and liberation to this present world.  The question simply was, how, when, and through whom?  And, as Jesus began his ministry, the disciples began to realize he was the promised one through whom this would take place.
