“Is Love Limited?”

Matthew 5:1-12
All Saints’ Sunday (A)
November 1, 2026
In day-to-day living, we are called to be different, counter-intuitive, and even possibly ‘totally out of it’ as viewed by the rest of society if we actually follow the Beatitudes of Christ. They confound the world. They challenge the way we see things, and they totally upset the way most people think things ‘ought’ to work.

“Commandment”

Matthew 22:34-46
October 25, 2026
Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost:
Proper 25A
Jesus says the great commandment is both loving God and our neighbor. So, if we do not love our neighbor as ourselves, how can we say we love God? Jesus also poses the riddle of how can King David call the Messiah both his son and his Lord. Who really is our Lord?
