Did Jesus really mean what he taught? Did he believe that what he said to people would actually "work"? How we answer these questions will have a direct effect on how important we think Jesus's teaching is. Unfortunately, the theological history of the Church has inadvertently created a situation which makes Jesus's teaching contingent on something else, and therefore less important than it should be . . .
NOTE: Because his mic was not turned on, Rev Derwyn's sermon audio is not as good as it should be.
