The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Service of Worship
11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary
Sermon by Rev. Dr. Daniel Glaze
There is a Balm in Gilead
Jeremiah asks that haunting question, “Is there no balm in Gilead?” In other words, “Is God with us? Does God even care?” I don’t mean to gloss over the question, for it’s a good one. But the answer, I believe, is a resounding yes. Yes, there is a balm in Gilead. This balm gives us a promise. It’s not a promise that protects us from tragedy and heartache, but it is a promise that we will never face life alone.
