Sermon for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (A) Sunday, 6 September A+D 2026 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch   Matthew 18:1–20 1At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. 7“Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! 8And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. 9And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire. 10“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. 11For the Son of Man came to save the lost. 12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? 13And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. 14So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. 15“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

The Shepherd Who Bears the Millstone | Matthew 18:1–20 | Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 18A) | LCMS SermonWho is truly the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven — and what happens when we lead one of Christ's little ones to stumble? In this sermon on Matthew 18:1-20 for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 18A), Pastor David Balla explores Jesus' surprising answer: true greatness means becoming like a child, trusting entirely in the Father's care.Jesus doesn't stop at correcting ambition. He warns that causing a fellow believer to sin brings real and lasting consequences — a warning that exposes how our careless words, broken trust, and even our silence wound the people around us. None of us stands innocent before this warning.But this sermon doesn't leave you under judgment. It follows Jesus into the parable of the lost sheep, showing a Shepherd who goes out searching for the one who has wandered — a picture of grace fulfilled at the cross, where Christ bore the punishment our sins deserved and won redemption and salvation for sinners. That forgiveness comes to you today in the Lord's Supper, where Christ gives His true body and blood for the forgiveness of sins, and in the assurance that no sin is too great to be forgiven.Subscribe for weekly sermons, devotions, and teaching from God's Word.Support this ministry: buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalph☕ You can also support this channel at: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalph(207 words)Hashtags#LCMS #Lutheran #Sermon #BibleStudy #Christianity

Read OnlineThe Generous Sower“A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up…” Matthew 13:3–4In today's Gospel, the Parable of the Sower is delivered from a boat, as Jesus addresses a large crowd along the shoreline. Jesus uses the natural acoustics of the water to carry His voice to the eager multitude who came to hear Him. Their earnestness offers us an opportunity for self-examination: Am I among that crowd, attentively listening as God speaks to me today? Do I go out of my way to seek, listen, and respond to the Word of God?A parable is a method that both reveals and conceals. It reveals divine truth to those who are humble and receptive, and conceals that same truth from those whose hearts are closed. The truths of the Kingdom are not concepts that can be quickly grasped. They are divine mysteries that must enter the soul and be pondered and nourished. Only the spiritually docile can penetrate their depths and allow God's Word to transform their lives.The Sower is Christ. The seed is the Word of God, and the soil represents the human heart, in all its various conditions of readiness and receptivity. Some souls await God's Word like freshly tilled, moist, and fertilized soil. As soon as the seed enters, it begins to grow rapidly—until fully grown and producing good fruit.Other souls are less receptive. Like the path, some hearts are hardened, stubborn, refusing to receive divine truth. The Word is heard, but not truly received. The enemy snatches it away before it can penetrate.Hearts that are like rocky ground are those who initially receive the Word with joy but lack perseverance. When trials come, they fall away. They may attend Mass, read Scripture, or begin with fervor, but without deep interior conversion rooted in prayer, they cannot endure the heat of testing.The thorny heart is the divided heart, where the Word of God is mixed with anxieties, riches, and pleasures. The Gospel is heard—perhaps even cherished—but it is suffocated by worldly attachments, ambition, or fear. Earthly anxieties and the fascination of riches are thorns that smother the soul and prevent it from growing.The good news is that God, the Divine Sower, is not passive. He sows the seed Himself—personally, directly, and abundantly. He is not like a remote monarch seated on a distant throne, waiting for us to come to Him. No—God always takes the initiative. He goes forth like the sower, casting His seed upon us even before we ask.The seed comes to us in two essential ways: truth and grace. As truth, God's Word enlightens the intellect to know His eternal mysteries. As grace, God's Word strengthens the will to embrace and live those truths with faith and charity.The Divine Sower sows lavishly. He casts the seed everywhere—on the path, among the rocks, amidst thorns, and upon rich earth. This is not careless, but the work of Divine Mercy. God desires that all be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Even where the ground seems hardened, shallow, or choked with thorns, He still sows. He never ceases to speak, to reach out, to invite. He sows even in places we might deem hopeless—until the final moment, when the time for sowing is ended.Reflect today on God's generous and continuous sowing in your soul. He never ceases speaking to you, calling to you, and planting His Word within you. How receptive are you? Which soil best describes your soul? It's never too late to respond in this life. God's Word can grow rapidly within us when our souls are fertile and receptive. Remove the rocks, cut down the thorns, and till the hardened path, so that the abundant seed will make its way into your heart.Divine Sower, You ceaselessly send forth Your truth and grace to enlighten and strengthen us in the mission of building Your Kingdom. Please till the soil of my heart and make it fertile, so that Your Word may take root in me, growing and producing an abundance of good fruit. Jesus, I trust in You. Image: Jules & Jenny from Lincoln, UK, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Full Text of Readings Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 103 The Saint of the day is Saints John Jones and John Wall Saint John Jones' and Saint John Wall's stories These two friars were martyred in England in the 16th and 17th centuries for refusing to deny their faith. John Jones was Welsh. He was ordained a diocesan priest and was twice imprisoned for administering the sacraments before leaving England in 1590. He joined the Franciscans at the age of 60 and returned to England three years later while Queen Elizabeth I was at the height of her power. John ministered to Catholics in the English countryside until his imprisonment in 1596. He was condemned to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. John was executed on July 12, 1598. John Wall was born in England but was educated at the English College of Douai, Belgium. Ordained in Rome in 1648, he entered the Franciscans in Douai several years later. In 1656 he returned to work secretly in England. In 1678, Titus Oates worked many English people into a frenzy over an alleged papal plot to murder the king and restore Catholicism in that country. In that year Catholics were legally excluded from Parliament, a law which was not repealed until 1829. John Wall was arrested and imprisoned in 1678, and was executed the following year. John Jones and John Wall were canonized in 1970. Reflection Every martyr knows how to save his/her life and yet refuses to do so. A public repudiation of the faith would save any of them. But some things are more precious than life itself. These martyrs prove that their 20th-century countryman, C. S. Lewis, was correct in saying that courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, that is, at the point of highest reality.

Join us for insights on how God's word works in our lives and the role of pastoral care.TakeawaysGod's word is like rain and snow, always working even if we don't see immediate results.Our response to God's word depends on the condition of our hearts.Filling our hearts with God's grace helps us resist worldly anxieties and temptations.Stepping into our faith journey involves decision and trust, not just effort.Community and pastoral relationships are vital for spiritual growth.Chapters03:39 Reading of Isaiah 55 and God's Word as Water05:08 Romans 8 and the Glory of God05:39 Gospel of Matthew 13 and the Parable of the Sower07:33 Jesus Explains the Parable and Its Meaning09:34 Focusing on the Heart's Condition and Response to God10:54 Overcoming Anxiety and Fear in Faith13:13 Personal Stories of Overcoming Fear and Stepping into Ministry17:07 Challenges of Preaching and Repeating Themes20:29 The Importance of Relatability and Personal Witness22:57 What Defines a Priest: Love, Eucharist, and Service24:22 The Role of a Pastor and Community Ownership27:16 Dealing with Parish Transitions and Change29:14 The Impact of Transition and New Beginnings30:42 Adapting to New Liturgical Translations and Practices31:41 Closing Remarks and Reflection on Faith Journey

Bishop Robert Barron’s Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

Friends, on this Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we continue our reading of the Gospel of Matthew. In chapter 13, Jesus gives a series of seven very memorable parables, the first four having to do with the growth of the kingdom of God. The first of these, which we're reading from today, is the parable of the sower. What do we hear? That it's never a question of God being reticent or holding back his grace. The problem comes from our side: We block the Word of God, setting up obstacles to it that prevent it from taking root. There's the drama, if you want, of the spiritual life.
