A short quote from my sermon today on Jer 1.4-10 and Lk 4.21-30
“Friends, it was for this purpose that we were made. We were formed in the womb to proclaim good news. Before we were born, we were consecrated to fight for justice. We have been appointed to declare God’s salvation to all the world.”

A short snippet from my sermon this morning on Luke 4.14-21. It is time for the Church in America to reclaim our identity and share radical love, justice, and mercy and uphold the sacred worth of all people.
