Sermon, 14th after Trinity, 2024
Will we live in the flesh or in the Spirit? This question is posed to us by St. Paul in the epistle lesson this morning. The sins of the flesh may seem attractive to us, but then the gospel lesson illustrates for us that such a life is like having leprosy. How then, are we to live in the Spirit? The virtue we need is Temperance. As followers of Jesus, this isn’t simply a strength of will to avoid sin, but it is a longing for something greater to be found in our relationship with Christ.

Sermon, 14th Sunday after Trinity
God’s goodness to us is evident in Creation. The heavens declare the glory of God. The earth is the Lord’s and all that therein is. And our consciences reveal the justice and mercy of God which is placed within each of our hearts. Will we respond to these good gifts of God by worshiping Christ and walking in His Spirit?
