Following in His Footsteps: The Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost

In this sermon, The Rev. B.J. Buracker reflects on Peter’s struggle to understand a Messiah who chooses service and sacrifice rather than worldly power.

Jesus shows us a different kind of kingship. He feeds the hungry, welcomes the stranger, serves others, and ultimately gives his life for us. Fr. B.J. reminds us that what we believe about Jesus shapes how we live. As we spend time with Christ in Scripture, prayer, Eucharist, and community, we are formed more deeply in his likeness and learn to follow where he leads.
