A Stewardship Benediction

"When the unknown writer of the Letter to the Hebrews closes his epistle, he blesses his readers with a benediction: 'Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.' Along these lines, I want to bless you with a stewardship benediction: May the God of peace continue to make you complete in everything good so that we may do God’s will." Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches on the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Scripture lesson is Hebrews 13:20-21 and 2 Timothy 1:3-7.
