Father Casey reflects on selfless giving and the nature of grace. Through a story about an anonymous donor and Jesus’ teachings, it urges Christians to act rightly without seeking praise. Grace, the unifying thread of faith, is both our duty and our gift—free yet costly, voluntary yet necessary, to live out our life in community.

Only in Hades did the rich man learn care and concern for others, but it extended only to his five brothers. In this modern parable about wealth and selfishness, we meet his five brothers and learn why they choose to ignore the needs of the poor, giving us the opportunity to examine our own idols that prevent our generosity.

Using Karl Barth’s four-word definition of God — “the one who loves” — Father Casey argues that Jesus reveals divine love and invites us to see ourselves as the beloved. Grace is irrational and inclusive; the church’s unique calling is to embody and proclaim that “belovedness”, practicing it toward everyone rather than primarily protesting the short comings of others.

In today's sermon, Fr. Ted reflects on Deuteronomy, Jesus’ surprising teaching about "who to hate", and discipleship’s cost. True following means sacrificial love and bearing the cross, not self-interest. Humanity’s track record of failure—Israel’s disobedience, the disciples’ abandonment, our own struggles—shows our need for God’s grace, the gift that empowers us to choose life and follow Christ.
