Luke 12:49-56 | Fire, when uncontrolled, can be horribly destructive. At the same time, in a variety of settings, fire may also be used to refine something or bring new life. So then, when we hear this weekend in our Gospel reading that Jesus has come to bring “fire” to the earth, what are we to think? Join us for worship as we consider the nature of fire, and the promise of God’s all-consuming love that desires to fill us and fill our world, refining us to advocate for a reflection of God’s Kingdom in all times and all places.
