"Hostility, Lust, Broken Promises, and a Few Other Things" - The Rev. Dr. Kurt Gerhard, February 13, 2011

Listen to the Audio File
Deuteronomy 30.15-20, 1 Corinthians 3.1-9, Matthew 5.21-37

            This is my tenth month serving as your Rector here at St. Patrick’s. I am fed everyday by learning new things. This week was no exception. One of my responsibilities is to plan the Sunday worship and to schedule participants and leaders. Included in that task is assigning the weekly preacher. This week, I learned an important lesson about that responsibility. See, I thought the scheduling of preachers was about making the calendar work and respecting the time and effort of my colleagues. I thought those were the only factors until I began reflecting on the scriptures assigned for this Sunday.

Gracious God, breathe your Spirit into us
         and grant that we may hear 
                  and in hearing  be led in the way 
                           YOU want us to go.  Amen.
By Tuesday of this past week
         word had spread like wildfire
                  through the student population of St. Patrick’s
                            I had received a new call.
