Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Contemporary)
Bishop Greg Brewer reflects on Jesus’ call to “walk in the light” and become true children of light. Using the story of John Newton—the author of Amazing Grace—Bp. Brewer shows how faith that begins on the surface must eventually break through to the heart, bringing real freedom and joy.
This sermon is an invitation to move beyond affiliating with faith and into the transforming reality of God’s mercy. The cross is not about our best efforts, but about God’s breakthrough grace that shatters guilt, fear, and shame. Even when we wander, the Good Shepherd never lets us go.
