Reflection for Sunday 14th September 2025The Thirteenth Sunday After Trinity Exodus 32.7-14, 1 Timothy 1.12-17, Luke 15.1-10In Luke’s Gospel, we hear two short but powerful parables — the lost sheep and the lost coin. Both tell us something extraordinary: God goes looking for us. Not waiting for us to find our way home, but actively seeking, searching, rejoicing when we are found.This is the heart of the Christian story — not that we got everything right, but that God was faithful even when we weren’t.Exodus reminds us of that too. The people had turned away from God, yet Moses intercedes — and God relents. Not because the people deserved it, but because God is merciful.In 1 Timothy, Paul speaks of his own story — how he was a persecutor, and yet Christ came to him in grace. That grace changed everything. It still does. In our churches, we all carry stories — of wandering, returning, being found again. And as small as we might feel, we are part of a great story of God’s mercy and joy. Let us be a people who never stop looking for the lost, never stop rejoicing when grace takes root, and never stop believing that God hasn’t given up — on anyone. Blessings and prayers, Emma
