7th Sunday after Pentecost:


Creation groans.
(Romans 8:22)

No church gathering this morning. The gathered must go back to being scattered. It’s back to virtual church.  The scattered will watch on YouTube as the pastor preaches to an empty sanctuary. It’s that pesky virus that just won’t go away. “Creation groans.”

Groaning creation longs to be “set free from its bondage to decay” (Ro 8:21). Creation groans in hope. Because of the Gospel, there is comfort in our groaning. Someday, the scattered will be gathered. Creation will be redeemed.
