Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
from All Souls Parish Sermons · host Emily Boring
The Rev. Emily Boring This sermon reflects on Jesus' teaching that discipleship requires not only serving others but also accepting our own vulnerability and dependence. Drawing on Matthew's Gospel, the preacher explains that Jesus intentionally sent his disciples out with no provisions so they would have to depend on the hospitality of strangers. This dependence is not incidental but essential to following Christ. Human beings are created for interdependence, continually giving and receiving throughout life. Welcoming others—and allowing ourselves to be welcomed—is itself God's reward, forming relationships that reflect the love and generosity at the heart of the Gospel.
