The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Amen.

Message | When Hopes Collide

This week Glenn leads us through an exploration of how to hear old stories through new voices. We look at how the act of re-authoring our stories helps us to move into the new places by looking at how the Apostle Paul does it in the New Testament.

Formational Learning:

As we explored Paul re-authoring old stories, what stood out to you?

Were there any points of curiosity, clarity, confusion, or conflict that emerged as you walked through these stories?

(Head)

Does Paul’s creative use of scripture cause any conflict for how you’ve read the text before?

Does seeing hope promising our future rather than defining our past affect how we engage Bible, community building, and faith?

(Heart)

When have you been positively effected by a new voice reading old stories?

What is the biggest obstacle to hearing different readings and accepting that those voices also belong with us at Christ’s table?

(Hands)

What can we do to make it easier to see that these other voices also have a place with us at the table of Christ?

Our Benediction

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you;

may he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm;

may he bring you home rejoicing: at the wonders he has shown you;

may he bring you home rejoicing: once again into our doors.*
