[email protected] Sunday 29th May 2016 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different First Sunday after Trinity gospel – not that there is another gospel, but there are some who Old Testament 1 Kings 8.22- are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But 23,41-43 even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands to heaven. He accursed! As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone said, ‘O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and steadfast love one be accursed! Am I now seeking human approval, or God’s for your servants who walk before you with all their heart. approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ. For I want you to know, When a foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, comes from a brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is distant land because of your name – for they shall hear of your not of human origin; for I did not receive it from a human source, great name, your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm – when a foreigner comes and prays towards this house, then hear in nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gospel Luke 7.1-10 Jesus entered the town of Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave whom he valued highly, and who was ill and close to death. When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, ‘He is worthy of having you do this for him, for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.’ And Jesus went with them, but when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, ‘Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word, and let my servant be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, “Go,” and he goes, and to another, “Come,” and he comes, and to my slave, “Do this,” and the slave does it.’ When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, he said, ‘I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.’ When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
