I preached this sermon on Sunday, October 6. It is based on an expanded lectionary reading of Luke 17: [1-4] 5- and centers on Jesus’s teaching about forgiveness. We are invited by our Lord to participate in acts of forgiveness on a regular basis. It is not always easy and can often be messy. But, this effort is part of God’s larger work of restoration that includes justice, hospitality, inclusion, and grace.
