Luke 13: 31-35, Psalm 27 | Above all, it is Jesus’ desire to fulfill the purpose for which he was sent: to safely gather us under God’s wings of mercy. At times, we might get in the way of Jesus’ mission taking shape within us by resisting or rejecting God’s Word. And, at times, it may seem as though the powers of this world get in the way of Jesus’ mission to bring healing and liberation to all people. But in the end, as people of faith, we trust that nothing will get in the way of Jesus completing that which he was sent to accomplish: to reconcile humanity to God and to each other. Join us for worship as we hear God’s faithful promises, and as we receive Christ’s gift of mercy in the sacrament of communion.
