First Sunday after Trinity AD 2026

In the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, Jesus overturns the values by which people often judge one another. Wealth, status, and outward respectability do not determine a person's standing before God; what matters is the condition of the heart. The sermon exposes the subtle pride and self-sufficiency that can separate us from God, reminding us that salvation is received solely through His grace. Having been loved and carried by that grace, Christians are called to respond by loving others with humility and compassion.
