Sermon

Fr. Bill talks about Jesus breaking the rules, God coloring outside of the lines, and what happens when we expect Them to do otherwise.

It is a message to us, that we need to open the eyes of our own hearts, to see God working in the most amazing ways, the most shocking ways, the most disturbing ways, in blessing those who seem to be the least worthy of blessing.
