Description
"Destruction or salvation? We live in the ecosystem of imagined actions. The choices you make today, the art that you make today, will stir up this ecosystem for generations to come." In this free sermon on Matthew 5:43-48 from Summer 2014, Mako Fujimura reflects on the relationship between Jesus's teaching on common grace, and Jesus's instructions to love our enemies. Along the way he explores connections between his life as a 9/11 Ground Zero survivor and his vocation as an artist.
