Sermon Transcript: The Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany February 20, 2011 The Rev. R. Allan McCaslin Readings: Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18; Psalm 119:33-40; I Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23; Matthew 5:38-48
From this morning’s Gospel, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” I speak to you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
We have been challenged these past few weeks to look that much deeper into what it means to be in relationship with God and each other in Christ. Last week, our lessons challenged us to choose life and in choosing life, seek to discern right from wrong: choose to cultivate relationships and actions that focus on loving God with all our heart, soul, body, mind, and strength and, thereby be an example of God’s life-changing presence in this world.
