Verse of the Day September 29

This week we continue our series “Reimagining the Church.” Each week, we’ll explore a different New Testament image or metaphor for being disciples of Christ and the church and the focus this week is from the Gospel of Matthew. For Matthew, doing the will of God is what distinguishes a true disciple of Jesus including doing justice for the poor and those who are vulnerable.

Today’s reading is Matthew 7:21-23, Doing the Will of God.

The Verse of the Day is Matthew 7:21,

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
