In this sermon for the 18th Sunday after Trinity, Fr. Sam Rossiter-Peters invites us to a deeper, more courageous engagement with Scripture. Rather than reading the Bible in black and white, we are called to wrestle with it — to question, to study, and to seek God’s living truth within its complexities.

Drawing from passages that challenge our understanding and our times, Fr. Sam reminds us that faithful interpretation means holding Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience together — trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us into a fuller vision of God’s justice and love.
