John 14:1-14, 1 Peter 2:2-10 | When considering our journey of faith, some of us may be able to point to specific places or spaces where we sensed the presence of Christ. These experiences are important and are a gift. But even beyond these specific experiences, we are promised that to dwell with Jesus, we don’t need to be in a specific place. Rather, by Christ’s death and resurrection, and by the power of the Spirit, Jesus has created a space for us to dwell in God within our very selves. Join us for worship this weekend as we offer a blessing to our high school graduates, as we remember God’s promise to dwell with us wherever we find ourselves, and as we let ourselves be built into a dwelling place for the sake of others.
