Simply the Sermon for June 28, 2026: Fifth Sunday After Pentecost
Our Bible texts for June 28, the 5th Sunday after Pentecost are: Jeremiah 28:5-9;
Romans 6:12-23; and Matthew 10:40-42.
How do we know the way of welcome? How can we tell the true prophet from the false? The true prophecy doesn't give us all our wants and desires, instead it gives us guidance and hope and a welcoming seat at the table. In today’s gospel, Christ promises that the disciple who gives a cup of cold water to the little ones serves Christ himself. From worship we are sent on our baptismal mission: to both serve and be served by the little ones of this world and to be a sign of God’s merciful welcome.
