| The Rev. C. Phillip Craig, Jr.The Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost | St. James 2024
In this homily, the Rev'd C. Phillip Craig, Jr. reflects on the meaning of Jesus as the "bread of life" and how this concept aligns with our deepest human needs—love, forgiveness, and sustenance. He connects this to Solomon’s request for wisdom, emphasizing that true wisdom comes from recognizing our dependence on God. The sermon encourages us to seek not just spiritual nourishment through Christ but also the wisdom to apply His teachings in our daily lives. Together, these elements help us navigate life's complexities with a sense of purpose and divine guidance.
