T The Sunday of the Sheep and the Goats T
Daniel 7:9-14; 2 Peter 3:3-14; Matthew 25:31-46 <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=9770592&l=7191bb5f-bfe7-41ab-85a5-ed7fed46406d&r=39b3b67d-e139-4698-a5f1-321bf2db29ae>
Sheep go to heaven. Goats go to hell. That’s how it goes in the judgment on the last day. But what’s the difference between the two? This Sunday’s Gospel holds before us the criteria: “*whatever you did (or didn’t do) to the least of these my brothers, you did (or didn’t do) unto Me.*” The sermon for this week will ask a very Lutheran question: *What does this mean?* Join us this *Sunday at 8am at Grace* and *11am at Trinity* to gather around Christ, sing His praise, and hear what He promises on the last day: “*Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.*” (Mt 25:34) [Also, in case you’re not aware, you can always listen to previous years’ sermons for any given Sunday here
*Bible Study is at 9:30am at Trinity. *We’re in chapter nine of the book of Revelation.
