15th Sunday after Pentecost — Year A (2026)

On this Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, we hear Jesus call us to a life shaped by forgiveness, mercy, and steadfast love. In a world that often rewards anger and division, the Gospel reminds us that true strength is found in compassion. Today’s message invites us to look honestly at our hearts, to release what burdens us, and to let God’s grace reshape the way we live and love. May this reflection encourage you to walk in Christ’s peace and to share His kindness wherever you go

"September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. For LGBTQ+ people, this is real life, not a statistic on a page.
The Trevor Project's research is clear: LGBTQ+ young people are not inherently at higher risk because of who they are. They're placed at higher risk by rejection, stigma, and the absence of affirming spaces. The same research shows the opposite is just as true — where affirmation exists, so does life.
That's the work Reconciling Ministries Network exists to do. Every congregation that chooses to see LGBTQ+ people as sacred, as fully made in the image of God — every leader who says "you belong here" and means it — is doing holy work.
This month, we're here to remind you that our work does not stop until every church is a church for every child of God. If you'd like to explore what that looks like in your context, visit rmnetwork.org or email us at [email protected]. "

✈️ A phone call in an airport terminal changed how Rev. Dr. Sam Burleson thinks about the future of the church.

At this year's School of Congregational Development, he spent four days wrestling with the landscape ahead of us: AI, cultural disruption, shifting economies — and the question of how the church is called to care in a world becoming increasingly artificial and downloadable.

Then, waiting on his flight home, he got a call from a staff member trying to reach her incarcerated brother in Houston. The pastor sitting beside him said, "I think I know someone there." Within twenty-four hours, one relationship opened another, and someone showed up. 🙌

💬 "Technology will change. Economies will change… But we are not entering this future empty-handed. We are connected and we are stronger in our connection."
