Sermon on 10th Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] May the words of my mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Our text for this morning is the Gospel lesson taken from the 15th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. Faith and repentance.

us by God. And everything we…
