This is a sermon for the 4th Sunday after Pentecost, July 3, 2022, offered at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Roanoke, Alabama.

Principal text: Galatians 6:1-16

Paul concludes his letter to the Galatians with a reminder of what life in a community led by the Spirit should look like. Paul reminds them that the freedom received in Christ is to be shaped by our love of neighbor. We are to gently care for and correct each other, bearing each other’s burdens. We are to examine our lives to make sure that our faith is manifested in our actions. Our success is not defined as the world defines success (numbers, money, power) but by our imitation of Christ’s self-offering on the cross.
