Mark 10:17-31 | “Let it go, let it go,” sings Elsa in the infamous Disney movie “Frozen.” Some things in our lives and our world might be easy to “let go of,” but other things that are closer to our hearts may be harder to simply “let go of.” Indeed, some things that we hold onto tightly may not even be things, but ideals, that we couldn’t imagine loosening our grip. But as the rich man finds out in talking with Jesus, there are often things that we hang onto which inhibit us from seeing or participating in, God’s Kingdom. Out of grace, our God “let go” of all our God had so that we might live in his Kingdom. So now, in response, dare we ask ourselves what might be blocking us from fully living in the life God intends for us and all God’s people? Join us for worship as we experience God’s grace anew and are sent to be stewards of God’s Kingdom.
