Sermon Notes

  • Sermon on Matt 5, 13-20 Year A 2017.docx
When Less is Much More!

Okay, this sermon is a week late (that's what a snowstorm and the desire to save money will do!) but hopefully better late than never!  Fr. Allen shines an (indirect) light on a familiar text.  It turns out that it's not just "that we are salt and light" that is important but how much of each we allow to season or illumine our relationships that makes all the difference!  Here's praying that this way of looking at the text can help us live well in a world captive to the thought that "bigger is always better."
