Simply the Sermon for October 5, 2025: Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
Our readings for Sunday, October 5 are Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4; 2 Timothy 1:1-14; Luke 17:5-10.
Our sermon today takes the 2 Timothy reading as a jumping off point for the introduction of our new presiding bishop, Yehiel Curry on the day following his installation. We are nurtured and fed by the faith of Jesus and of those stalwart saints in our own lives. A little faith goes a long way is Jesus’ point in the gospel. A mustard seed’s-worth of faith has miraculous potential. The patience, tenacity, and endurance required for the life of faith are the blessings received in holy baptism, holy communion, and the word read and proclaimed in this assembly. Anticipate them. Receive them with thanksgiving.
