John Hebenton's Podcast
Sunday sermons preached at St. George's Anglican Church, Gate Pa, Tauranga. These are mostly based on the RCL Lectionary readings for that Sunday, with a few variations for our own lectionary in this Province, and special events here at Gate Pa.

Am I my Brother's Doormat?

John Hebenton
John explores Matt 5:38-48 and suggests two things: first that it needs to be read in the context of the whole of the sermon on the Mount; and secondly that rather than suggesting to those he is talking to (the poor, marginalised, oppressed) that they just need to suck it up and tough it out, he offers ways of standing up to the violence and oppression non-violently.
