The View from The Bridge

The Bridge – Fall 2024, Week 8
  

Join us this THURSDAY the 17^th downstairs at the church for dinner. We will eat some pizza, catch up, look at the lessons for next Sunday, and if we have time, play some games. Come enjoy good food and good conversation. 

Worship Sunday at 10AM. 

Sunday’s gospel starts with disciples obsessing over who will be closest to Jesus, leading to Jesus teaching his followers about God’s take on importance and power. Here Jesus makes it explicit that the reversal of values in God’s community is a direct challenge to the values of the dominant culture, where wielding power over others is what makes you great. When we pray “your kingdom come” we are praying for an end to tyranny and oppression. We pray this gathered around the cross, a sign of great shame transformed to be the sign of great honor and service.
