the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Michael Drell

Michael's sermon reflects on familiar yet uncomfortable themes from the Bible, focusing on Jesus' interaction with the Syrophoenician woman in Mark’s Gospel. Drawing from various interpretations, including feminist critiques, he explores how this story reveals Jesus as a human capable of growth and change.

The sermon encourages reflection on personal transformation and the power of words to heal and bring change.
