Luke 6:27-38
The 7th Sunday after Epiphany
Pastor's sermon is based upon the gospel reading from Luke 6:27-38. As Jesus continues his "Sermon on the Plain," we are are reminded that we live in God’s world, a world where there is kindness, compassion, generosity, benevolence, forgiveness and love, because that’s the way God is. We are called to act toward others in the same way that God has acted toward us. The competitive, dog-eat-dog, unforgiving, condemning world is not the real world, not the world that God created, nor continues to create. God has created us to be loving, forgiving, generous givers and forgivers, and all God wants is for us to begin acting naturally, to be who we really are.
