St. Mark's New Canaan

10.13.24 "How to Be Good" - The Reverend Elizabeth Garnsey

St. Mark's New Canaan

The Twenty-First Sunday After Pentecost. 
What is the difference between worldly achievement and true spiritual goodness? Explore how greatness in God’s Kingdom is defined not by possessions or success, but by love and service. Through the story of the rich man who asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life, we are invited to reconsider our attachments—whether wealth, status, or past experiences—and to open ourselves to the divine love that leads to eternal goodness. Learn what it means to live a life aligned with God's vision of greatness, where "the first shall be last and the last shall be first."
