I was happy to notice this morning that the lesson from Romans chapter 10 appointed for Morning Prayer matches up so well with my sermon. 14But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? 15And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’

My original sermon which I had outlined while at General Convention focused on the gospel for today (Eucharist readings, not Morning Prayer) concerning the beheading of John the Baptist. But my experience at General Convention moved me to instead preach on Ephesians, with some Amos mixed in as well. Those who read this blog and will hear the sermon, I would appreciate your feedback between the Romans passage above and what I say in the sermon. For those who are not going to be in church at St. Paul’s, Delray Beach today, you can always watch videos of our sermons at our YouTube channel, found HERE.
