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.

All the Saints – Even Zacchaeus
•
John Hebenton
Was Zacchaeus already giving half his income to the poor, or was he going to give half his income because of what Jesus says to him. Both work. If he was already, then the issue is not that he was corrupt – as we assume, but that those he lived among assumed he was corrupt and a sinner – like we still do and Jesus saw who he really was. How do our assumptions blind us to the saints living around us?On All Saints/All Souls – how do we honour those we grieve?
