Search and Seizure

Many sermons were preached on Sunday that looked at racism, racial justice, #blacklivesmatter, the killing of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, the killing of five police officers in Dallas, the killing of Latinx and Native Americans, and more. Here’s one by my friend, the Rev. Jeff Geary.

A sermon preached by The Rev/ Jeffrey A. Geary at the White Plains Presbyterian Church on the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, July 10, 2016

 Psalm 82          Luke 10: 25-37

 Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the law? What do you read there?’ He answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.’ And he said to him, ‘You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.’

The Until We Meet Again Tour – 1 July 2016

The Until We Meet Again Tour took a hiatus for the 222nd General Assembly (2016) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

Tricia joined me for the Fourth of July weekend and the tour resumed.

Madison Square Garden, the Museum of New York, and El Museo del Barrio marked today’s visits.

The Until We Meet Again Tour – 10 July 2016

The Until We Meet Again Tour took a short, about .4 of a mile, walk today to Church of the Master. As noted earlier, my intention had been not to accept invitations to preach during the tour. However, invitations began to arrive from congregations that mean a great deal to me and it became impossible to say no. Once again I am delighted I agreed to preach. It was a tender, precious moment filled with sorrow and joy. The experience crystallized a reality that has been emerging for me – I will miss the people of New York even more than I will miss the places of New York.

The Until We Meet Again Tour – 9 July 2016

The Until We Meet Again Tour wandered down to Times Square. The day began with a long workout with NK Body Philosophy. Sermon writing followed. Grace Ji-Sun Kim and I entered a number of ticket lotteries for Broadway shows. We both won tickets to An American in Paris. Grace and Elisabeth went. I continued the sermon writing process. While waiting for the show, we checked out a bit of the fourth annual Street Soccer USA New York City Cup.

The Until We Meet Again Tour – 8 July 2016

Once again the Until We Meet Again Tour hopped the 7 Train and rode out to CitiField. Grace Ji-Sun Kim and her daughter visited New York and went along. The Mets lost. The weather turned cold. But a good time was enjoyed.

The Until We Meet Again Tour – 14 June 2016

The Until We Meet Again Tour hopped the 7 Train and rode out to CitiField. Don Jang joined me. There the Pirates beat the Mets. This marked the fourth time the Pirates beat the Mets when I attended the game. I think they should hire me.
