Pearl Church Sermons

Preaching: Ben Conachan

In Epiphany the church basks in the light of Divine Love that is revealed in the incarnation of Christ. But even more astonishing is the invitation of the Incarnation, to ourselves become alight with Divine Love as we learn to walk in ways that make for peace and justice. The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote that the just one “justices; keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces; acts in God’s eye what in God’s eye” they are—Christ. In this series, we set out to explore the “graces” that make for justice: benevolence, humility, attention, and hope. Our conversation partners will be the minor prophets, whose cries for justice are invitations to cultivate characters that will keep all our goings graces.

Pearl Church exists to express a sacred story and to extend a common table that animate life by love. A primary expression of our sacred story is the weekly sermon. If our sermons inspire you to ponder the sacred, to consider the mystery and love of God, and to live bountifully, would you consider supporting our work? You can donate easily and securely at our website: pearlchurch.org. Thank you for partnering with us in expressing this sacred story.
