Born of the Holy Spirit, Not Strife


"Let there be no strife between me and you... for we are brethren." Genesis 13:8

"..what is to be born of her is of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 1:20

"When Joseph rose from his sleep, he did just as the angel of the Lord commanded him." Matthew 1:24

This sermon examines the decisions we make when there is strife in our lives by looking at Lot and Joseph in the Sunday readings. It also includes some cautionary words about ecumenical and interfaith pitfalls. The scripture readings are from the Malankara lectionary.

This sermon given on Sunday, December 13, 2009 by Fr John Brian Paprock at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Mission Chapel, Madison, Wisconsin.
