Scripture for Sunday, November 18
The scriptures for next Sunday are Isaiah 65: 17-25 and Luke 21: 5-19.
We're going to be focusing on how we deal with the difference between what it is we think "ought" to be (Expectation) and what we encounter as what "is" (Experience).
Part of our experience is our awareness of the "voiceless ones" that we talked about in this Sunday's worship. Our faith calls us to help them find a voice as well as to give voice to the wounded places in our own lives as well. It also gives us the courage to look honestly at the difference between Expectation and Experience.
Please read these passages and share your thoughts and ideas about them here on the Blog. If you want to reach me with a more personal note or question, there is an email link at the bottom of the home page.
Thanks to all who contributed to last week's discussion.
Shalom,
Stephen
