You Can’t Wear That | October 15, 2023 | Dan De Leon

The Rev. Dr. Dan De Leon, our Senior Pastor, delivers a message reflecting on Matthew 22: 1-14 titled “You Can’t Wear That" on the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost.

 

A brief synopsis:

This sermon explores the concept of authenticity in faith, emphasizing that outward appearances, like clothing, should not define one's relationship with God or others. It reflects on the importance of shedding pride, self-absorption, and societal constructs of hierarchy to "wear" humility, compassion, and grace, as we are all invited to be our true selves in the Kingdom of God. The message calls for the church community to be a transformative space that changes the world through love and understanding, supporting one another in vulnerability and unity.
