To Whom Do We Belong?

The 7th Sunday of Easter – May 16th, 2021

Summary: Today’s sermon is based on Jesus’ prayer for his disciples in the gospel of John. In that prayer, Jesus asks his Father to protect them in his word. We cannot allow our fears and burdens to result in taking shortcuts that will undermine our faith.
