Today's sermon text is coming from Romans chapter 12 verses 19 through 21.

Romans 12, 19 through 21.

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God.

For it is written,

vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

To the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him.

If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

For by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Let's pray together.

Sam is so right, Father, you are wrathful and you are merciful.

And we want to do that. and you are merciful.

And we want to be found under the mercy and not under the wrath.

And the shield from the wrath is one alone.

Jesus Christ, perfectly righteous and perfectly damned on the cross in our place.

Would you come and gather unbelievers in this room

under the shield of Jesus and out of wrath.

And would you establish your saints with fear and trembling in their place of safety so that they do not treat anything that you have touched as

trivial. Call no man

man unclean call no man trivial everyone is headed to an everlasting horror or an everlasting joy.

There are no trivialities in God and what he has done.

Oh God, help me speak of the wrath of God in a saving, humbling way, a healing way, an empowering way, a liberating way, a joy-producing way.

In Jesus' name, I pray, amen.
