Tenth Sunday after Pentecost

Today Pastor Tanner Wade looks at the readings for Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. In the four lessons assigned for the following week, a consistent theme presents itself throughout the lessons.  That God’s plan of Salvation for His people includes those “foreigners” (as Is. 56 says) being joined to those God has claimed as His own.  Paul in Romans 11 reminds us of that fact, and the joy we should have when those who would reject Christ turn from their rejection and embrace their life in Him.
