This Week’s Gospel Message

Thursday, February 28th, 2019

This Week’s Gospel Message for Sunday, March 3rd is from Luke 6:39-45.

“A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. . . . A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.”

“ How are we known? Sure, we’re known by our role in our family, by our occupation, and by our age or generation, but how are we known as a person? . . . As Christians, at the very least we want to be known as Christian.”
