"The gospel of the kingdom..."

Stahleck Castle at Bacharach - gone
to seed and in need of redemption

Matthew 9:35-38        35And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest

Salzberg Castle - continually renewed;
a fortress for beauty and truth

A reminder from last Sunday's sermon to be renewed continually by the gospel...
