SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, November 7, 2021

Dear Friends In Christ —

Jesus rocks! The more I engage (or, more properly, am engaged by) Jesus- the narrative, the stories, the episodes, the escapades, the journey, his intention, integrity, his cleverness- the more I’m convicted. I’m convinced that my capture by Jesus when I was a small boy has not only charted the course of my life, but given me purpose, direction, joy and love. So my life’s work is to share this Jesus that you and all others may know the joy that I and other believers know. 

This week we encounter Jesus who has arrived in Jerusalem – a city over which he weeps. He made straight for the temple, causes a ruckus, and takes up residence teaching. The temple authorities have lost patience. The crowds adore him. They look to trap him in insurrection and blasphemy, but he navigates their attempts with skill. The message is to be a good citizen within your priorities. There is a simple message for us in our text this week as we, together, will shape the nature and scope of our work for the realm of God.  

We will gather strength in communion with each other and our Savior. Worth braving the elements. 

See you in worship –

 

WORSHIP SAFETY GUIDELINES: Due to the significant rate of COVID-19 community transmission, the CDC continues to recommend indoor masking in public settings for everyone. While a large portion of our congregation is vaccinated, there is a significant number of children who have not yet had the opportunity to be vaccinated, which affects the health and safety of the vulnerable and immunocompromised among us. Please continue to wear a face mask in church, even if you are fully vaccinated. Please worship from home if you are exhibiting any COVID-like symptoms, are aware of an exposure, or have been asked by a school or other institution to quarantine or isolate.
