In this homily on the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost, The Rev. Ed Bartle, Associate Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the readings of the day and their importance to Christian life. He points out that if we are not careful, we can develop an attitude of privilege or feeling that we have an advantage over others and that this can be a stumbling block to our Christian life. Jesus taught that we must learn to become more welcoming, hospitable, and loving. There is more than one way to God. We are called to be apostles – to spread the Kingdom of God and to recognize each other’s right to his or her belief and to ultimately seek the greatest compliment –“well done my good and faithful servant.” Send comments to musingsonfaith@gmail.com or leave a voice message at: https://anchor.fm/st-george-episcopal-ch/message.
