Why Didn't I See That?

Why Didn't I See That? | A Sermon on Practicing Love in Plain Sight What if the greatest surprise of faith is not what we believe—but who we fail to notice? In this sermon, Why Didn't I See That?, Rev. Dr. Lewis Galloway reflects on Jesus' parable of the sheep and the goats and the unsettling realization that Christ is already present among us—especially in people who are hungry, forgotten, overlooked, or struggling. Drawing from Ezekiel 34:1–6, 11–16 and Matthew 25:31–46, this message invites us to listen for God's voice in places we may have learned to pass by. It gently challenges the way we measure faith and reminds us that discipleship is formed not only by what we believe, but by how love quietly shapes our daily choices. In this episode, you are invited to reflect on: Why so much goodness goes unnoticed until it is too late What Jesus means when he says, "you did it to me" How compassion becomes a habit of the heart Why the practice of love matters more than religious arguments If you've ever wondered how to live faithfully in a world full of need, division, and distraction, this sermon offers a clear and hopeful word: Christ is already near—and love is the way we learn to see.
