The Kingdom in Ordinary Things

Jesus explores the kingdom of heaven through five deliberately different, ordinary images rather than one clear definition because holding multiplicity together — and then choosing to act on what it reveals — is itself the shape of faithful understanding.

Please read the sermon here. We regret that due to technical difficulties, a video of this sermon is not available as the livestream on our YouTube channel captured only the last part of the 26 July service.
