In this sermon, based on Mark 2:23-3:6, I look at the ways that we find ourselves frozen, immobile, and non-responsive to God's invitation to participate in the work of the kingdom. Like the Pharisees of old, we obsess about following and enforcing rules instead of reaching out with love to others. By the grace of God, Jesus forgives our inaction and frees up our movement.
This sermon was originally preached on Holy Trinity Sunday, May 27, 2018.
