Sermon for Trinity II

Jesus' parable of the Great Supper calls us to  renounce excuses for staying away from the word of God, and warns us of the dangers and allurements of the world. They are many: I have bought a field, I have bought five yoke of oxen; I have married a wife. None of these gifts should ever replace their Giver, however, or they become idols. This is our challenge, especially now, for we live in Sodom, where hedonistic pleasures and temptations to turn away from our Maker are myriad. Sermon for Trinity II is here.
