Lord, Increase Our Faith Series: Faith Demonstrated Through Total Dependence

First Reading: Deuteronomy 10: 12-22. Before he leaves them, Moses reminds the Israelites that they are and will always be dependent on God’s grace.

Second Reading: 1 John 2:15-22. The Apostle John encourages us to love and depend on God, not the world.

Gospel and Sermon Text: Luke 18: 18-30. Depend on God for the Impossible

We should depend on God whose Son, Jesus Christ, did the impossible so that the inheritance of eternal life is our guaranteed certainty.

We also depend on God for us to be able to leave all earthly treasures for the kingdom of God.

May we pray to God for this increase of faith so that we totally and always depend on God for the impossible. Amen
