Proper 23

Mark 10.17-31

Comfortable chairs and uncomfortable sermons (AAA)

The comfort offered by Jesus also comes wrapped in uncomfortable warnings about behaviour, attitude and judgement.

Disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed (CYP)

Those who have genuinely given up much for the sake of Jesus will find all these things and more restored to them in the age to come.

Additional Resources
