“God’s Work Beyond God’s Servant”

A Service of the Word for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 25, 2026: IN-PERSON and ONLINE at 10:30 a.m.
Associate Pastor, Youngsun, preaching Matthew 22:34-46 and Deuteronomy 34:1-12

This Sunday we bring our journey through Exodus to its final chapter as we arrive at the closing pages of Deuteronomy. After years of leading God’s people from slavery toward freedom, through the wilderness and into covenant life, Moses reaches the end of his journey. Leader, mediator, prophet, and servant of God, Moses stands on the edge of the Promised Land, seeing what lies ahead but knowing he will not cross over with the people.

But the story does not end with Moses. As one generation’s leadership comes to a close, another begins. Joshua, son of Nun, is commissioned to carry forward the work that God has begun. In this passage, we are reminded that God’s mission is larger than any one person, and God’s faithfulness continues from generation to generation.

As we hear Deuteronomy 34:1-12, we are invited to reflect on legacy, leadership, and the God who remains present through every ending and every new beginning.
