Dreamhouse | Message Of The Week

Healthy people don't need a doctor — sick people do." On Proper 5, we follow Jesus from Matthew's tax booth to a synagogue leader's house and a bleeding woman's reach for his robe, and we hear the one thing God keeps saying through Hosea, the Psalm, and the Gospel: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. A word about the God who doesn't keep mercy at a safe distance — who comes into the room, takes us by the hand, and like a surgeon tears only in order to heal.Texts: Hosea 5:15–6:6 · Psalm 50:7–15 · Matthew 9:9–13, 18–26 (NLT). With Amy Carmichael as our witness from the cloud, and a journal entry from Thomas Merton on the mercy hidden in our dryness.Sunday Worship Service — June 7, 2026DreamHouse Church | Newport News, VirginiaSermon by Pastor Scott Crowder
