In this sermon based on the lectionary scripture readings (Genesis 21:8–21 and Matthew 10:24–39) the story of Hagar and Ishmael tell of being uprooted from their home and Christ speaks of being the sword that divides families. Troubling texts. But this is the way of gardening too. What do we have in common with the world of gardens and what might happen to us when we allow ourselves to have our dead twigs removed or if we were planted elsewhere?
