"Walk Lightly in the Light of Love"

Sermon by The Rev. Brad Landry

February 23, 2025

Both in the church and out in the world, so many times we are being forced to one side of the issue or another, becoming suspicious of those who believe differently than us, who look different than us, who were brought up differently than us. But you and I are called not to a culture war, but to a kingdom of God, where there is always a stranger to welcome, always a neighbor to befriend, and always an enemy to love. Let go of the burdens of fear, maybe you are trying too hard. Lightly, child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes. Feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. Walk lightly in love, to ask God to help you, to forgive, to ask God to help you, to love. To walk lightly in the light of love.
