Large Stones in our Shoes
This sermon can be listened to here
Gate Pa – Year B 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time,
Readings:

First Reading: 1 Samuel 1:4-20
Second Reading: Hebrews 10:11-14, 19-25
Gospel: Mark 13:1-8
What I want to say:
I want to explore how are faith gets colonised by large stones – large stone like making our churches great again, or making America great again, or making Britain great? What captures our imagination? I wonder what Mark’s Jesus is inviting us to let go of, and what might shape our imagination as we enter into another advent?
What I want to happen:
I want people to reflect on that they give their allegiances to, and what they might be invited to let go of?
The Sermon
