St. Aidan's Anglican Church, Kansas City - Weekly Talks

A day in the life of Messiah: In the synagogue, Jesus stands up to read his mission statement, the congregation tries to hurl him off a cliff (Luke 4:14-30)! This is one response to the voice of Jesus. What's ours? We explore how God's voice still speaks from heaven (Heb. 12) in the liturgy of Word and Sacrament. The condition of the heart determines our response or lack thereof. For those who are attentive, hungry and open, the Word within the word is received. God loves us too much to be satisfied with leftovers. He longs for all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. Our vocation, then, is to surrender all, to tear down the walls that divide our heart up into little closets and thus, provide a Great Room, an expansive heart, for his dwelling. Michael+
