This sermon starts with a Pastor Eric joke.
He then tells us that today’s theme would be: “Embracing the Child”.
Today’s gospel, Mark 9:30-37, speaks about “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me…”.
Everyone is a child in God’s eye.
People come together to be God’s children.
In God’s Kingdom, there is no other. There is only sister and brother.
“Embracing the Child” means sharing God with one another.
