Homily | July 1, 2026 | The Cost Of Real Worship | (Episode 182)

We wrestle with a piercing question from the readings: what are we unwilling to lose, even for Christ, and how do our choices reveal the answer. We connect Amos’s warning about hollow rituals to a Gospel scene where a town chooses financial security over Jesus, then ask what real worship looks like when Monday arrives.
• Amos’s indictment of worship without justice
• The danger of singing hymns while neglecting the poor
• “Let justice surge like water” as a test of integrity
• Worship as a whole-life offering, not a one-hour habit
• Jesus’s authority over darkness and despair
• The town’s decision to send Jesus away after losing pigs
• The hard examination of comfort, reputation, business, and protected sin
• The cost of surrender and the greater return of staying close to Christ
