Sermon by the Rev. Jarrett Kerbel for Sunday, July 12, the sixth Sunday after the Pentecost, Proper 10.

The Rev. Jarrett Kerbel makes a note that this week's Gospel is an invitation to fully understand the gift of God's self to us. The parable shows God throwing seed everywhere - even on what seem to be the worst places for growth - a tactic no rational farmer would use. But that isn't the point - God's gift of Godself to us is full. "There is no partial gift of God. God extends God's whole self to us. Our part is to receive and not to earn. It is our part to be open and inviting and not to achieve." Hear how he then interprets the second half of today's Gospel through the lens of grace.
