Listen "Merciful Love"
Episode Synopsis
"Merciful Love" – Luke 6:27-36
Sermon by the Rev. Ben Brannan from Sunday, February 20, 2022. "Forgiveness is not forgetting. Praying is not an abstract gesture. Lending is no longer irrational. The call to love our enemies is not a passive or submissive stance. It takes courage. Moving toward a person in mercy is the first step to love that is revolutionary. It is a choice. A difficult choice, but one that embodies the now and not-yet reality of God’s beloved community."
