Sharing God's Love Growing Faith Worshipping Together
HOME
Thought for the week:
Jesus is asked whether it is right to pay taxes to Caesar. It is a question designed to trap him, but his answer invites us to consider something deeper: give to God what belongs to God.
The coin carries Caesar’s image. We are made in God’s image. What we offer to God, then, involves our whole selves: our time, our choices, and the way we treat other people.
That can be challenging. We have responsibilities and concerns which take our attention, and it is easy to leave God until we have a quieter moment.
Yet God is already present in our everyday lives. Paul recognised this in the Thessalonians, whose faith was expressed through love and perseverance.
Giving ourselves to God begins with remembering that we belong to him and allowing his love to shape whatever we do next. MM
Collect
God, our light and our salvation:
illuminate our lives,
that we may see your goodness in the land of the living,
and looking on your beauty
may be changed into the likeness of Jesus Christ our Lord.
