“Friends, several of you asked to know more about Franz Jagerstatter, the Austrian farmer I spoke of Sunday in my sermon. HERE is a Wikipedia article about him. There is also an extraordinary film about him and his family; you can find out about it HERE. This is the quote that begins the film – “… for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” George Elliot, 1871”
Sunday’s worship included the telling of five of Jesus’ parables from Matthew and a sermon titled “We Found a Treasure” which explored the consequences of trying to live in the kingdom of heaven. You can watch it HERE on the Grace Church Dayton channel of YouTube.
