Upside Down, Inside Out

Posted on 31 Mar 2015, Pastor: Rochelle Richards

It’s said that good fences make for good neighbors. And while there is accepted wisdom in those words from Robert Frost’s Mending Wall,  he muses elsewhere in the poem: “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know, what I was walling in or walling out.”

Today’s sermon continues our Lenten theme based on Jesus’ parables and focuses on the story of the Good Samaritan and how it challenges our expectations for how the world should work; about who is our neighbor and where our personal fences are erected.

On Palm Sunday we recall how the start of Holy Week stands in stark contrast to its ending and the disciples’ expectations, and we are challenged to see past our own boundaries.

Today’s sermon is based on Luke 10: 25-37
