Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
In this sermon for Proper 20, we consider Jesus' teaching on how to measure human greatness in the kingdom of God: “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me" (Mark 9:37 ESV). This passage draws from James 3:13-4:3, 7-8a and Mark 9:30-37.
