Sermon Notes

  • Sermon on Pentecost 6 Proper 13 2016.docx

In this "unpromising" gospel text full of "hard sayings" and some of Jesus' most off-putting remarks, Fr. Allen finds a "meditation on the nature of desire" and how it is that Jesus helps us receive Desire, capital D, the only motivation that really has the potential to help us follow Christ.
