This sermon by Grace Kreher, delivered on Sunday, 7/6, the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, at St. David's Episcopal Church, delves into historical and Biblical narratives to explore the concept of boundaries. Kreher recounts Martin Luther's defiant stand at the Diet of Worms and connects it to Jesus's instructions to his disciples about shaking the dust off their feet when their message is not received. The sermon discusses how boundaries are essential in maintaining healthy relationships and encourages the congregation to apply these lessons in their own lives, balancing resilience and vulnerability.
