Kenny Benge preached a sermon entitled “Efficiency Vs. Love” based on Luke 14:1-14 for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time on September 1, 2013.   At its best, efficiency is a way of structuring our lives in the ways of love that God has called us to. At its worst, efficiency is what the NT calls a power; causing us either to avoid or manipulate the dignity and value of the people around us.
