In this sermon, I address recent troubling events in St. Cloud, New York, New Jersey, Tulsa, Burlington, and Lonsdale (where a local business owner posted the sign "Muslims Get Out" on a family restaurant). How does Jesus invite us to respond to the evil and hatred that seems to be at our gate? The sermon text (Luke 16: 19-31) is the story of the rich man and Lazarus. It is a story that Jesus tells to the religious insiders of his day to invite them to repent, to open their ears to God's wisdom, and open their hearts to God's love. We are invited to do the same.
