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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Thanks to all who contributed to last week's discussion.<br /><br />Shalom,<br />StephenStephentag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215116066445385512.post-60671734931930467562007-11-05T19:22:00.000-08:002007-11-05T19:28:09.186-08:00Hi All,<br /><br />Thank you for coming to the blog and being part of what I hope will be an ongoing conversation that will help shape our Sunday worship.<br /><br />For Nov. 11, 2007 the scriptures are Job 19: 23-27a and Luke 20: 27-38.<br /><br />Please ask yourself these questions:<br /><ol><li>What does this scripture tell me about the nature of God?</li><li>What does it tell me about the human condition and our need?</li><li>In what way is this story My story?</li><li>What does this scripture call me to do or be?</li></ol><p>I look forward to the questions and comments that will help me as I prepare Sundays sermon and that will cause us all to think about the scripture that will guide our worship experience.</p><p>Shalom,</p><p>Stephen</p>Stephen
