It was an honor to preach at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Orlando today for Fr. David Bumstead, their wonderful Rector and my friend. 

My theme for the sermon was taken from The Gospel lesson for Proper 9, on the 4th Sunday after Pentecost, Luke 10: 1-11, 16-20. 

….cure the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

We’re talking about a partnership where God’s grace and your well-directed efforts by grace collide to live in the Kingdom now. It is all about Aliveness.

Above all, it is about waking up to the always available Presence of the crucified and risen Christ, alive and at large throughout the world, Who invites us to be his followers wherever we are.

P.S. Music theme in closing: Fanfare for King of Glory. RCL+

So grateful to Fr. Bumstead for this opportunity. 

With you on the Journey, 

Rob+
