Finding the Lost

Having Words with Jesus

Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C

Worship is not only about receiving marching orders or getting our weekly assignments. But it can be a reminder that we are a people with a mission and that we cannot be content with the status quo.

In this four-week series, we are called to spend some time in Jesus’ presence. Here we set aside time to intentionally listen as we try to understand the more difficult passages of the Bible that we sometimes want to skip over. The music for this series should be a combination of praise as well as reflection and centering with the final sending forth song as a reminder to keep listening throughout the week.
