Doing Small Things with Great Love

All Saints Church Pasadena Podcast - Un podcast de All Saints Church

“As a hospital chaplain, I have been asked to pray for the sick and those on the verge of death, but I have never witnessed a miracle like the ones recounted in the Gospel of Mark. But I have seen how the ripples of the small acts that we do with great love are miraculously multiplied by God’s Spirit and ripple outward from us in ever-expanding circles, spreading the inexhaustible light of God’s love to our neighbors both far and wide. The Dutch priest Henri Nouwen, a spiritual thinker and writer who wrote endlessly about the life of Jesus and the love of God observed that “the world likes things to be large, big, impressive, and elaborate. [But] God chooses the small things which are overlooked in the big world.” Sermon by Jonathan Stoner from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 10, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: I Corinthians 3:1-9, Psalm 145:14-19 and Mark 8:1-21. Watch the sermon on YouTube. Read the text of the sermon here.
