‘“If you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your life.”
That ‘if’, is a powerful word. It’s the word that has underscored the covenant that God has with Israel. A covenant based on a relationship of trust and fidelity. But Israel has decided it wants to be ruled by kings.’
A Sermon by Revd Katherine Hedderly, delivered on the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity
Readings: 1 Kings 2. 10-12; 3.3-14; Ephesians 5. 15-20; John 6. 51-58
