Welcome
to Catonsville Presbyterian Church
We gather to worship God, share fellowship and challenge each other to grow
in experiences of faith. We are a teaching and learning community
grounded in the word of God. As
disciples of Christ, we glorify God by sharing the good news of God's grace
and affirming the inherent worth of each person as a child of God. We
endeavor to discern and apply Christ's teaching by working for justice and
peace in the local and world community. Catonsville
Presbyterian is a church whose faith is in dialogue with our world.

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
When Jesus speaks in these passages, John the
Baptist has been arrested and others are questioning the authority of
Jesus. Both are being rejected in favor of maintaining the traditional
Jewish laws. Jesus’ initial scolding is followed by a declaration of God’s
supremacy over all creation and a promise:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and
burdened and I will give you rest.”
Text: Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30
Sermon: We Can’t Rest Yet
Preacher: Elder Susan Krehbiel
We live in tumultuous times, not unlike the
confusing times experienced by first century Christians. There are so many
different perspectives on religion, on God. And so many different
expectations about us and about God. But we are not innocent bystanders.
In this time of renovation and recreation – where do you see God at work
in the world? And what is God calling into being through you?
I hope to see you Sunday,
Susan |
