Texts: 1 Thessalonians 2.1-20 and Mark 4.35-41.
A sermon responding to the massacre at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Originally preached June 21, 2015.
“Living the Gospel requires courage. In the face of trials, in the face of opposition. It takes courage to live into this radical message of love and hope day to day. It takes courage to choose love and not hate, to choose hope and not despair.”
In this sermon Todd references this icon painted by Br. Robert Lentz in honor of the Maryknoll Community who serves the poor. Is Jesus in prison or are we?
