Chapters in a Shared Story

“There is a seductive power to the ability to do great things. Especially great things that do great good. The seduction comes when we believe the saving, healing, transforming power comes from us and is ours to give … and to withhold. It is a prison because it perpetuates the economy of the world -- an economy of haves and have nots … and that is a prison wherever we fall on that spectrum. It is a prison to have nothing and be at the mercy of those who have it all.  And yet it is also a prison to have so much and to believe that our worthiness and lovability only comes from how hard we work to help and heal those who have less. It is a prison to believe that we are the saviors.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 25, 2022 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.
