September 7, 2025 - The Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Fr. Christopher Yoder by All Souls' Episcopal Church

Read the sermon here: https://homily.substack.com/p/hating-to-love-dying-to-live David Harvey explores the themes of discipleship, the cost of following Jesus, and the nature of Christian community. It emphasizes the importance of making choices that align with God's will, the challenges of maintaining relationships in Christ, and the messiness of community life. The speaker draws on the teachings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer to illustrate how true discipleship requires a commitment to Christ that transcends personal relationships and societal expectations.

The Rev. Mary Cat Young

Does Jesus really want us to "hate" our families? What does he mean by "bearing our crosses"? Or what about "renounce all that you have"? Listen as we consider these hard sayings of Jesus together.    Text: Luke 14:25-33

And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.Et factum est, dum iret in Jerusalem, transibat per mediam Samariam et Galilaeam. 12 And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;Et cum ingrederetur quoddam castellum, occurrerunt ei decem viri leprosi, qui steterunt a longe : 13 And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.et levaverunt vocem, dicentes : Jesu praeceptor, miserere nostri. 14 Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.Quos ut vidit, dixit : Ite, ostendite vos sacerdotibus. Et factum est, dum irent, mundati sunt. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.Unus autem ex illis, ut vidit quia mundatus est, regressus est, cum magna voce magnificans Deum, 16 And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.et cecidit in faciem ante pedes ejus, gratias agens : et hic erat Samaritanus. 17 And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?Respondens autem Jesus, dixit : Nonne decem mundati sunt? et novem ubi sunt? 18 There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.Non est inventus qui rediret, et daret gloriam Deo, nisi hic alienigena. 19 And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.Et ait illi : Surge, vade : quia fides tua te salvum fecit.Our divine Redeemer heals ten lepers, both Jews and Samaritans, who have recourse to Him. "Arise, they faith hath made thee whole." Through His Church our Lord gives back health to the souls, Jews and Gentiles, who have recourse to Him.

September 7, 2025Today's Reading: Luke 14:25-35Daily Lectionary: 2 Kings 4:38-5:8; Ephesians 6:1-24“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?” (Luke 14:28)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Jesus gives examples of people who measured the cost of their goal and ultimately stepped away from it. A man would not build a tower if he could not pay for it. A king would not go to war if he knew he would lose. Neither man followed through. Jesus says anyone who does not hate his father and mother cannot be his disciple. At first glance, this is against what Jesus teaches at other times: “Love your neighbor as yourself,” but if we take it in the context of the later verses, what is Jesus saying? A man building a tower who runs out of money not even halfway through loses quite a lot: financial stability and his reputation. A king going to war against a stronger army loses even more: his kingdom and his life. What does a disciple of Jesus stand to lose? What is the cost of discipleship?The answer is everything.. Jesus says anyone who will not take up his own cross and follow Christ cannot be a disciple. Anyone who is not willing to leave family, fame, fortune, or anything else is not a faithful follower. By this word, we are convicted. In our sin, we cannot follow God's law perfectly. We are unable and unwilling. We cannot afford to be a disciple of Christ and gain eternal life. The cost is too high because the cost is total obedience to God, and we, fallen sinners, are not capable of such a thing. Immediately following this passage in Luke, Jesus tells the parable of the good shepherd, in which the shepherd leaves everything behind to find the lost sheep, risking his life—risking everything. This shepherd finds the lost sheep and returns to the fold, having successfully fulfilled his goal, unlike the men from before. The good shepherd decided the reward was worth whatever the cost may be. Of course, the good shepherd in the parable is our Good Shepherd, Christ Jesus. God measured the cost of reconciling humanity to Himself and saving us from sin, death, and the devil. He knew that it was a high price to pay: the death of His only Son. The Son took on human flesh, lived, suffered, and died because, though the cost was high, He was the only one Who could pay it. In His death and resurrection, Jesus paid the price for the redemption of the world. Rather than having to earn our place as His disciples, His children, He gives it freely to us, in the Word and Sacraments. The cost of discipleship is high, but it has been paid, and the benefits are yours.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O merciful Lord, You did not spare Your only Son but delivered Him up for us all. Grant us courage and strength to take up the cross and follow Him, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.Deac.

Year C, Proper 18, Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Join Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson as they dive deep into the challenging texts for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost (September 7, 2025). This Rally Sunday episode tackles some of the most difficult discipleship passages in Scripture, including Jesus' radical call to "hate" family in Luke 14:25-33 and the powerful "choose life" message from Deuteronomy 30. The hosts explore what it truly means to count the cost of discipleship, examining Jesus' hyperbolic language about hating family members and giving up all possessions. They discuss how these challenging texts might actually be good news for believers, especially as congregations gather for the new program year. The discussion includes practical insights for preachers preparing Rally Sunday sermons, exploring how these texts speak to commitment, community formation, and the transformative nature of following Jesus.

Amen.Come, let us worship God our King.Come, let us worship Christ, our King and our God.Come, let us worship Christ among us, our King and our God.Holy God,holy and mighty,holy immortal one,have mercy upon us. (3x)Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,now and always and forever and ever. Amen. From Psalm 51Open my lips, O Lord, *and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.Create in me a clean heart, O God, *and renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from your presence *and take not your holy Spirit from me.Give me the joy of your saving help again *and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,now and always and forever and ever. Amen. A PsalmPsalm 49Hear this, all you peoples; hearken, all you who dwell in the world, you of high degree and low, rich and poor together.My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and my heart shall meditate on understanding.I will incline my ear to a proverb and set forth my riddle upon the harp.Why should I be afraid in evil days, when the wickedness of those at my heels surrounds me,The wickedness of those who put their trust in their goods, and boast of their great riches?We can never ransom ourselves, or deliver to God the price of our life;For the ransom of our life is so great, that we should never have enough to pay it,In order to live for ever and ever, and never see the grave.For we see that the wise die also; like the dull and stupid they perish and leave their wealth to those who come after them.Their graves shall be their homes for ever, their dwelling places from generation to generation, though they call the lands after their own names.Even though honored, they cannot live for ever; they are like the beasts that perish.Such is the way of those who foolishly trust in themselves, and the end of those who delight in their own words.Like a flock of sheep they are destined to die; Death is their shepherd; they go down straightway to the grave.Their form shall waste away, and the land of the dead shall be their home.But God will ransom my life; he will snatch me from the grasp of death.Do not be envious when some become rich, or when the grandeur of their house increases;For they will carry nothing away at their death, nor will their grandeur follow them.Though they thought highly of themselves while they lived, and were praised for their success,They shall join the company of their forebears, who will never see the light again.Those who are honored, but have no understanding, are like the beasts that perish. Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,now and always and forever and ever. Amen. The Readings1 Corinthians 16:13-24English Standard VersionBe watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.Now I urge you, brothers—you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints— be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence, for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people.The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.The Word of the LordThanks Be to God Matthew 21:33-42English Standard Version“Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit. And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.' And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:“‘The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone;this was the Lord's doing,and it is marvelous in our eyes'?The Word of the LordThanks Be to GodThe Apostles' CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth;I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. ExamenIn God's presence, think through the day ahead:the work you will do, the people you will encounter, the dangers or uncertainties you face, the possibilities for joy and acts of kindness, any particular resolutions you need to renew, consider what might draw you from the love of God and neighbor, the opportunities you will have to know and serve God and to grow in virtue, remember those closest to you and all for whom you have agreed to pray, ask God's blessings, guidance, and strength in all that lies before you. Gather up these thoughts and reflections in the wordsOur Savior taught us to say: The Lord's PrayerOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. The Collects of the DayAlmighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Closing PrayersA Prayer of St. ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,now and always and forever and ever. Amen.Lord, have mercy! (3x)God, be gracious to us and bless us and shine Your countenance upon us and have mercy on us.This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!The Father+ is my hope; the Son, my refuge; the Holy Spirit, my protection: All-Holy Trinity, glory to You!Amen!
