Rev. Drew Ross, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Costa Mesa, CA joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 21:18-32.

Jesus challenges us to faith. Faith in a God who created the mountains, faith in the God who has all authority, and faith in the one who calls us sons. He leaves no room for diplomacy, either Jesus is the Son of the Living God or not. From His mercy, He calls all of us as sinners, tax collectors, prostitutes, and religious leaders to trust in His authority, repentance, and renewal in Christ. “Almighty God, we see our lack of faith and ask by Your Holy Spirit lead to contrition and trust in You. Give us boldness to confess the truth of Christ, leave aside all diplomacy, and proclaim the truth of Christ’s salvation. In His name, Amen”
