This is a recording from the sermon preached at St. David's Episcopal Church on Sunday, July 20th, on the Sixth Sunday After Pentecost. In his message, Rev. Jim Quigley discusses the biblical stories of Abraham at the Oaks of Mara and Jesus visiting Martha and Mary. He explores the themes of hospitality toward God and the balance between active and contemplative spirituality, emphasizing that both paths are valid and necessary. The sermon encourages us to cultivate environments where God's presence is welcomed and to practice 'everyday mysticism' in their lives.
