Discipleship doesn't begin when life is predictable. It begins exactly where you are; in the interruptions, the conflicts, and the ordinary Tuesday afternoons when the dining room is closed and you have to improvise.

In this Cycle B collection of sermons for the Sundays after Pentecost, Reverend Sarah B. Miller invites readers into the long green season of Kingdomtide with both theological depth and pastoral warmth. Drawing from the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of John, these sermons trace what it means to live as a disciple of Jesus in the real world; the one we actually inhabit, full of tension, beauty, conflict, and grace.

From the wild-goose presence of the Holy Spirit to the miracle-in-the-interruption of a bleeding woman healed on the way to somewhere else, from the feeding of the five thousand to the hard word of Jesus that many disciples turned away from and walked no more - Miller unpacks the Gospel lessons with honesty, humor, and a preacher's heart for the person in the pew.

Living in the Spirit's call is not a quiet life. It is a brave and holy business. These sermons are an invitation to take it seriously.
