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

sermon by the Very Rev. Anne Maxwell

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

Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost - September 7, 2025 - Pastor Marcus Schulz

Sermon preached Sunday evening on September 7th for the St. Thomas Aquinas Episcopal Campus Ministry at West Virginia UniversityFocus texts — Luke 14:25-33 and PhilemonJesus isn't really telling us to hate people, is he? I've got good news and bad news (that's still actually good news). The word in the original text (μισέω) translates better into English as something along the lines of love less or prefer less. What Jesus is getting at is a sort of emotional detachment from relationships and things that may cause us to deprioritize God. Our relationship with Jesus comes first. Discipleship comes first. And we must never forget the cost of discipleship and never settle for cheap grace (Bonhoeffer). While we shouldn't go out looking for crosses, we must be ready to accept and shoulder the burden of the crosses that do come our way. As disciples of Jesus, one of these burdens is the need to detach from that which prevents or inhibits us from putting God first.We learn something, though. Do you want to be a better child to your parents? Put God first. Do you want to be a better parent to your children? Put God first. Do you want to be a better friend or student? Put God first. Do you want to be the best you can be in your career? Put God first. When we put God first, we find that God has a way of transforming us in to the best versions of ourselves, beyond what we could ever ask or imagine.

Deuteronomy 5:6-7, 6:4-9; Psalm 8; Colossians 1:1-20; Matthew 6:25-34

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.
