St. Barnabas Anglican Parish, Bluff. 
14/8/24
Gospel reading 
Mathew 18 v 15to20.

This reading is about stubborn people.
In short if a fellow believer hurts you go tell him, work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you have made a friend.
If he refuses to listen, take one or  two others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest and try again.

Let us pray.

Father God, please help us to learn to forgive even when society tells us to get even.
Grant us patience and understanding and help us to act out love and kindness rather than hatred and anger we pray.

Amen.
