Bridging the Divide: A Gospel of Generosity

In this powerful and thought-provoking sermon, Father Geoff reflects on the parable of the rich man and Lazarus—an urgent call to recognize and respond to the divides that exist in our world: between abundance and need, comfort and compassion, blindness and grace.Rooted in Luke 16 and 1 Timothy, this message reminds us that the love of money, not money itself, leads us away from God and our neighbor. Through stories both biblical and personal, we’re invited to see the ways we may be walking past modern-day Lazaruses—and to respond with mercy, generosity, and love.You’ll also hear about a concrete act of love our parish is undertaking: partnering with City on a Hill to provide meals for children in Milwaukee. This is the Gospel in action—bridging the divide with Christlike care.
